WALLACE JOHNSON
LOCALNET PILOT
Cynwyd Star and Philadelphia
Champion Will Lead in
Church Cup Matches
TO PLAY AT MERION
IJy SPICK HALL
Wallace F. Johnson, champion of
PJilIndclphln and one of America's flrU
ten lawn tennis players, linH been named
captain of the Qttnlicr City team which
will meet the winner of the Ncw'Yoik
and Boston racquet experts nt Merlon
on Saturday afternoon.
Thrfc intercity contests were con
ceived by Ocorge Myers Church, once
raptflln of tho Princeton team nnd a
player 'of vast possibilities. The trophy
is awarded each year to the team win
ning the best five of nine matches nnd
In perpetual. Church, who lived in
Xcw Jersey, saw and believed, cor
rectly, that lawn tennis In the Knst wai
centered in New York, Uoston and
Philadelphia. "With this Iden In mind
h dnnntcd n cun that would be Riven
to tho best team in these three cities In
n triple competitive mntch early ever
tenson. ,
Tbo Church Cup matches nre four
j cars old this season. The first year
they were staged on the Merlon Cricket
Club's turf courts, nt Ilnvcrford, nnd
Nw York won. In 1010 the matches
wero played in Boston and the bean
rravers captured the trophy. Last yon?
Philadelphia played Boston in tho pre
liminaries nnd lost five. Then the
metropolitan artists proceeded to wipe
up the turf with the New Knglnndcr.s.
PIsy Starts Friday
For tho second time the Merion
Cricket Club will hnvo the Church Cup
event. The preliminaries or seml-flnnls
will be played" Friday nftornoon nt
Havcrford, nnd on Saturday Wallace
Johnson will hnvo his young men out
to go against the winning combination.
Johnson will piny flrut ninglcs for
Philadelphia nnd will net as captain
of the team. Last season' Bill Tlldcn
was cnptnln nnd first singles player,
and ho trimmed Dick Williams In
straight sets. It Isn't nn extraneous
matter, cither, to mention .that unless
Williams snaps out of it ho is very likely
to get n beating from Wallace John
son. Wlllinms is probably the most finished
lawn tennis player thnt was ever pro
duced In America nnd also the most
lackadaisical. He should not only be
the most finished plnycr, but one of tfie
best, but apparently ho thinks more
about ruminating nnd puffing on his
pipe than he docs about lawn tennis.
The Philadelphia team will consist of
Wallace Johnson, first single: Crnlg
Blddlo, second singles ; Stanley Pearson,
third singles; Carlton Shnfer, fourth
Monies; Carl Fischer, fifth singles, nnd
Ted Edwards, sixth singles. Besides
the singles, threo doubles matches nlno
have to bo played. Johnson nnd Penr
Mn will be the first Philadelphia team.
Blddlo nnd Shafcr will be the second
and Fischer and Edwards will be the
third.
Second Team Chosen
It has been customary to select n
second team also, but if those matches
are played they do not count In finnls.
However, tho committee has named the
following for the second team: Alex
Thayer,' Rowland Evans John C. Bell,
Jr., Ed Thayer, Joe Thnycr. Joseph
W. Wear, C. Stanley Kogers. Bart
l'fmst. Jr., Andy Morgan, lazy Ornvis,
Dr. P. B. Hawk nnd Cnp Winter.
It looks very much as though Phila
delphia wero doomed to defeat ngnin
this year, for, on paper, botli Boston
and New York have stronger toaniH.
New York has a powerful singles sextet
In Ichiyn Kumngne. Watson M. Wnsh
burn, Vincent ItlchanK Dean Mathcv.
Howard Voshcll and Walter Merrill
Hall, with Harold Throckmorton as n
substitute.
The New York selection Is a typical
on. From the showing of the players
there Is no doubt that young Richards
diould be playing first singles. But he
U put third, below both Kunmgae nnd
Washburn. To be mro. WiHiburn was
a member of the victorious Davis Cup
team that brought mir trophy back
home from Austinlnsla. but It is nlso
true thnt he Is n far better Inwjor and
speaker than he is a tenuis player.
However, that's New York's liu.siuess.
They ran select nny one they wish and
their choice goes rcgnrdlcM..
Weak Doubles
New York's doubles plajers probably
will be Hall and Bookman, Mathey and
Washburn, Hiehnrds unil Voshcll, n
wtak bunch of teams,
Boston's tenm is Wlllinms, first sin
gles; Nat Niles, second singles; G.
t'olket Cnner, third singles; Ilnrry C.
Johnson, fourth singles ; Lawrence II.
Bice, fifth Mngles; Irving P.. Wright
r 0. F (jardner, Mxth singles. In the
doubles Boston will have Williams and
Johnson. Niles and Cnner and Bidwclt
and Porter.

on Saturduy evening there will be a

Mrs. Fitzsimmons
Saw Her Husband
Defeat Corbett
The
iiBfivvtwIffht championship
slipped out ot mc grnsp oi nn .n
can for tho first time on St. I ntrlck s
Day, 1807, when Itobcrt Fitzsimmons,
n Innky Australian, pounded James J.
Corbett Into submission in the four
teenth round.
This occasion was the first of Its Kind
ot which moving pictures were token.
Both fighters enjoycu klnetoscope rights,
ns tho side money from the movies was
denominated at that time. .
Tr wii nlcn thn heplnnlne of woman S
entry into the nlo of spectator nt ring
contests. Tho fight was held nt Car
son City, Nev., nnd nil of the news
papers made much over tho presence
of twenty women nmong the 4000 sent
holders. One of these women was Mrs.
Fitzsimmons, who sat just behind her
husbnnd's seconds nnd encournged him
on to victory.
The Australian weighed only 107
pounds, while Corbett entered thc ring
nt 183. The chnmplon floored tho for
eigner in thc sixth round, but lacked
the finishing punch.
In thc final round Fitzsimmons
sprang from his corner furiously nnd
Minuted his right glove over Corbctt's
neart.
Tho champion staggered from the
fierce blow and Fitzsimmons toro into
him with flnshing rights nnd lefts to
the stomach thnt brought thc bnttle to
a close.
A large crowd of fans who favored
the Australian iumned into tho rlne
nnd surrounded him, seeking to grnsp
his mitt. Corbett, opening his eyes,
tluined with anger. He charged through
the circle of admirers nnd the two light-
crs were locked in a vicious clinch.
