TENNIS IS SPORT OF
MANY NA TIONS AND IS
i PL A YED UNIVERSALL Y
Large Number of Entries in Davis Cup Proves Popu Pepu
I larity of Court Game Throughout World Many
ji? Foreigners in National Singles Here Next Week
iJASjEBALL is the national sport of America, soccer rules the athletic
JD realm et Oreat Britain and Spain is wedded te bull fighting, although a
Alverca Is threatened, but nothing rival the universal popularity of tennis.
Track nnd field athletics enjoy widespread growth.
Srecd of feet has been admhed and heralded down through
the nges and running ruccs by men and beasts have a fol
lowing In every tribe -nd clime in the world.
Tennis has edgeu .it en track athletics until new the
court game attracts mere nations in Its international
competitions than any ether branch of sports. Complex
as It is, compared with match races, It Is universally
understood. It Is the common meeting ground for ath
letically inclined countries. It is the English language of
sports.
This week en the emerald courts at the Y et Side
Tennis Club, America nnd Australia, two nations as far
separated as the poles, meet for the world supremacy In
the Davis Cup challenge round. In the competition this
nm -rut rear ""teen nations were entered. 'iUis eclipses tne rec-
B1U Tllden enl of nny etIler international sporting event. The most
that has ever entered for one upon In the Olympic gamcR was ten.
The United State, Denmark. Canada, France, Belgium. Australia,
Hawaii, Czecho-Slovakia, Spain, Philippines, Itumania, India, Italy, Japan
and the British I.lc3 were all entered, but, unfortunately, financial distress
forced Canada. Hawaii. Philippines and Japan te withdraw. When the
challenge round ends eleven nations will actually have competed, and this
equals the record of last jear, when thirteen entered and eleven contested.
A XT ALMS MYERS, one of the tceild's leading tennis allies, is
A, authority for the statement taut "courts can be found in every
civilised nation of the alebe." Tennis adherents throughout the
world, it is claimed, numter mere than these of any ether ball game.
National Tourney Here Is International
THE national singles championship which starts at the Germantown Cricket
Club September S i international in scope. Representatives from at least
iye countries, separated by thousands of miles of land and sea, will be pres
ent. Australia. France, bpaln, Japan and America will
have natives entered.
The distant reaches of tennis and its popularity arc
proved in the ranking of the tir-t ten of the werW. In
this list are players from six natlene, the United States,
Japan, Australia. Seuth Africa. Spain and France. The
development of the game throughout the world is shown
by the fact that England, the rock-bed of tennis, has no
representative among the leading ten.
Of these, ten, eight will be seen In play en the Man
helm courts. They are 15111 Tilden. Rill Johnsten, Vin
cent Richards and Dick Williams, of America ; Zenzo
Bhlmizu, Japun ; Gerald Patterson and James O. Ander Ander
en, Australia, and Manuel Alonse, of Spain. The only
Absentees wil be 11. I. C Norten, of Seuth Africa, and
Andre II. Gebert. of France.
These facts display the btrength of the field for the
tingles. It unque.tienably surpasses the Wimbledon
classic, which is conceded te be the world's title tourney. The Manheim
monarch will undoubtedly be the uncrowned champion of the world.
BESIDES the iccalth of foreign players entered here, there ict'H be
feic, if any, American luminariei absent. Ichiya Kumagae, irhe
is new in Japan, is the only one of the first ten in the United States
ranking net entered for this year's competition.
Today Last Day for National Entries
THIS is the last day that entries can be sent in for the national singles.
The lid really will be closed tonight at the office of Paul Williams, field
secretary of the United States I.nun Tennis Association, 20 Bread street, New
Yerk, but entries reaching the office bearing date of today
will be accepted.
Through an apparent misunderstanding, the entries
have been comparatively fclim. Up te Saturday afternoon
only ninety had been received. The lit includes all the
stars of America and foreigners new in this country,
but there are a number of lesser lights who have with
held their entry, probably because the qualifications fur
entry have been misconstrued.
Julian S. Myrkk, president of the association, in
describing this condition, had this te Fay:
"It would appear that some players have the idea
that the natienul singles can be entered only by cham
pions or ethers of that dats. The qualification for entry
(imply limit the entry te players who have n reasonably
geed tennis record. Tournament players can feel sure
that their records will receive the most careful con
sideration by the Tournament Committee, and any who
wish te play 'should send In their entries Immediately."
TIIE draw for the tournament icill br made in Xctc Yerk tomor
row. The championship will be seeded for the first time and the
committee will have a difficult time determining the players who are
te be seeded, A careful study of the various records will be neces
sary. Tilden's Crown Is Net Riveted
rnHE crown which has been en Bill Tilden's, head for the last two years is
X net riveted there by any means. Bill Johnsten, the wee flash from the
West, will make his lat effort te gain permanent possession of the trophy,
and this year he will net be handicapped by the blind
draw as he was last September. A year age he had te
meet Tllden after he had been forced te exhausting pace
te survive against Vincent Richards.
The New Yerk nineteen-year-old wonder is another
who blocks the path te Tilden's ambitions. Richards
has been playing better tennis this year than ever. He
has mere stamina and experience. He will be a hard man
te eliminate.
And then, tee, there's Gerald Patterson, the smash
ing Australian, who speeds through his matches with the
might of his racquet. Patterson, shortly after his arri
val in this country, was eliminated by Francis T. Hunter
from the Seabright tourney, but since that date he has
become acclimated and he in new at the top of his game.
Wallace Jehnsen ana James 0. Andersen are ethers
who should stay In the thick of the fight In the late
nranua. jounsen was a nnaust last season, but was
favored by a weak bracket. However, his famous chop stroke is as puzzling
aa ever and will cause trouble. Andersen has entirely recovered from his recent
illness and his long rent bheuld place him In excellent condition.
OJf PAPER, Tilden should cin, but there is such a small margin
between the champion and several ethers in the tourney -hat the
slightest break in the luck is likely te turn the tide of victory away
from the Germantown Cricket Club star,
Australia's Chances at Ferest Hills
tpHB pent showing of the Australian doubles team In the national team
fJL championships at Longwood Is another warning te the Americans who
Will defend the Davis Cup at Ferest Hills this week. With every match the
Antlpedeans have shown Improvement. Their teamwork Is smooth and their
Individual play excellent. The combination of Patterson's speed and O'Hara
Weed's steadiness is an Ideal one.
, Andersen probably will play in the singles. He has been practicing for
the last week at the West Side Tenni3 Club and is said te be in shape. Las,t
year he beat Tilden in.thc East-West matches in Chicago and in the nationals
ere he went te the semi-final. Ills terrific forehand retains its former speed
aad his backhand strokes have improved.
fUE Americans are favorites te win, of course, but the Australians
3 1 are game, skillful and enduring. The battle at Ferest Hills
H should be a classie.

MEET TOMORROW NIGHT
By LOUIS II. .IAFFE
AMONG these present at the
Leughrnn-Tunney match last week
at the Phillies' Ball Turk was William
McCarney. Billy is a Phlladelphian,
but he spends mere time hustling around
with a stable of boxers In ether places
than at home.
At the present time McCarney Is am
bitious te have Jack Dempsey beaten
out of n bout with his next supposed-te-be
opponent. "Tut" Jacksen, a big
Negro from Washington 'L'ourmeusc.
0.,ls the reason why Billy Is sure
Dempsey will have te meet borne one
ether than Harry Wills. New Orleans
colored fighter, when the champion de
cides that he is ready for action.
Wills Is being supported by many ex
perts ns the foremost contender for
Dempsey's crown. In fact, eue or two
New Yerk scribes have been brazen
enough te nccuse the Slannssn Mauler
of "being afraid te meet Wills."
Confident "Tut"
WfJ Defeat Wills
That Dempsey will net have te bother
meeting Wills is the sincere bellff of
McCarney after tomeirow night. "Tut '
and Harry are te meet in a scheduled
fifteen -rounder nt Ebbets Field, nnd
McCarney Is confident. Jacksen will
knock Wills for a row of African Jun
gles. McCarney Is all enthused about his
big colored person, and reeled off the
following little speech about Wills' op
ponent : ,
"'Tut' Jacksen was born at Wash
ington Courthouse, a thriving Ohie city,
twenty-one years age. He began boxing
early in lOUl nnd lins taken part in
forty-nine bouts. Ills scrap with Harry
Wills next Tuesday night will be his
fiftieth.
"Jacksen has a record of forty-six
knockouts and has stepped nil of his
opponents. If he failed te land n sleep
wallop In his first mlxup with one of
these victims, he turned the trick in a
return match. He never has been
knocked down nnd is the hardest-hitting
Negro I've ever seen. Yes, he cm punch
with greater power than such notables
as Jack Jehnsen, Langford, Jeannctte
nnd Wills.
Jacksen Is
Built for Speed .
" 'Tut' is six feet two and three
quarter inches tall and weighs about
-1U pounds in fighting trim, lie has a
lea
speed. Ills legs are strong
carry an ounce of fat around his waist.
His lungs nre powerful and the muscles
of his shoulders and back are like these

mers was playing politics in his coaching.
Kernan cited cases where nlayers of varsity ability were cut from fh u,i,.j
and Btudcnts with Inferior ability retained se that a captain who was in ayraVv I
pathy with Temmers would be elected. . l
Apparently the coach's plans went astray. Eddy has turned against him.
Temmers' ideas, if the accusations are true, led te his dismissal instead of
his retention. Politicians have no nlnre nn n rnllern Hmniia. '

The Twentieth Running of the Albany
Handicap, SfiOOO added, at Saratecn
today, will bring together u large field
of the best two-year-olds. Zev of the
Itancecas stable should win If he inns
back te his last race. Cherry Pie and
Goshawk nre likely the most formi
dable as contenders.
Horses which seem bpst today are:
First race Ne Time, Wild Heather,
Valentia ; second Daniel, Wildrnke,
Jlgstep: third .Southern Cress, Re
count, Hnrelngue; fourth 7.ev, Cherry
Pie, Goshawk; fifth Rebuke, Tufter,
Wcllfinder: sixth llarbary Bush,
Tuxedo, Bright Tomorrow.
At Devenshire: First race Dr. Mc-
Artiiur. ununger, night en Time; Bee-
ranks ns one of the best qunrterbaeks
in the history of Camden High. His
executive ability en the Held was geed
and mere than once he pulled Camden
through te an almost impossible vic
tory. Seistman was possessed with the
ame ability that marks all really great
Quarterbacks. He could run the ends,
lilt the line, toss or receive n forward
pass and punt. He was well versed
in all departments of the game and will
be greatly missed by the school acresi
the Delaware this fall.
Geiges and Cragin
Are Star Halfbacks
Hareld Geiges nnd Jeseph Cragin
played the halfback positions for the
11)21 Camden eleven. Like Seistman.
they possessed unusual ability and were
star performers.
Beth were used as "threats" ou the
Jersey aggregation. They could be de
pended en at all times te smash through
the line or skirt the ends. And both
scintillated at catching forward passes.
They still talk about the tricks
Geiges. nnd Cragin used te work again-t
the opposing elevens. Their reverse
plays always kept their fees guessing.
And the way they could toss forward
passes. Each had perfect direction, and
along with Seistman formed a prac
tically unbeatable combination.
F. ami M. May Hae
Camden Backfield
Den Cragin, brother of Jee, prebnbly
was the greatest grid luminary in the
hisfery of Camden. Last U'ar he was
the "triple threat" of Franklin and
Marshall.
Should Seistman, Geiges nnd Cracin
make the F. and M. first tnm i.i.
j ear. the entire backfield will be com
posed of former Camden High Scheel
players, for Den Cragin ngaln will be
inu mainstay.
And if Franklin nnd Marshall's 11)22
backfield Is composed of this quartet,
hundreds of Camiien rooters are sure te
be In the stands at Franklin Field
when the Lnneaster eleven meets the
Red and Blue.
