BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS BATTLE TODAY FOR DAVIS CUP TROPHY By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—William M. Johnston and William T. Tilden, named in the order of their appearance, will proceed this afternoon with the annual business of fouling all of the foreigners all of the time, Lincoln and P. T. Baraum regardless. The occasion is the challenge round of the Davis Cup series, involving America and Australia, the time is 2:30 o'clock and the place the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, L. I. The Davis cup is the globe trotter of all trophies for competitive sport. It has paid extended, not to say welcome, visitation to Sydney, Melbourne, London, Wimbledon and New York, but it seems to feel more at home in America, and according to present indications has taken up a more or less permanent residence here. The degree of permanency will be decided by the ability of the worthy Messrs Johnston and Tilden, to maintain its American complexion. The possession of the cup will be settled in five matches. Johnston will meet Anderson in the first singles match and the human exclamation mark may make matters very interesting for the American. Like the general character of an egg Anderson is good and bad by turns, but when he is on his game, there is no more dangerous element in the world of tennis. Johnston, however, defeated him with greater readiness than did Tilden in the challenge round last year and should repeat. FOR RESULTS—Try a Plain Dealer Woman.

Anderson, captain of the Australian Davis cup team, won the opening skirmish in the challenge round of the Davis cup series this afternoon, in a thrilling five set duel with William M. Johnson 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. The result came as a tremendous surprise to a gallery of 8000 who set in the stands and had their natural tendencies swayed back and forth like the tides as the fortunes ebbed and flowed first in favor of the American and finally toward the Australian. Bright as a new born dollar, the huge silver bowl known as the Davis Cup, resist in solitary grandeur on a stand between the two stadium courts, an inspiration alike to challenger and defender. Johnston won the opening game, 4 to 2, but the Anzac came back with a love victory, Johnston driving balls out of court and another into the net. He seemed unable to handle Anderson's dazzling service. The Australian went into the lead at 30 to 15 in the third game, on Johnston's errors, but the American immediately reeled off three straight placement aces and won, giving him a lead of 2 to 1 in games. Anderson donned a white hat to protect his head from the sun and his game improved forthwith. The speed of his strokes forced Johnston into errors, and then with a sensational drive from the side lines he won the game at 4 to 2. Beginning service again, Johnston forced the Anzac to drive into the net and replied in kind. An out by Johnston gave Anderson the lead and a net by the American increased it. Johnston, however, carried the points to deuce as a result of the next two rallies. A net gave Johnston the advantage joint, but the Australian rush. STEWART CERTAIN OF NEW OIL FIELD That there will be an oil field just southwest of Anaheim within a short time which will rival Santa Fe Springs is the confident prediction of James E. Stewart, local realty man, who has been interested in oil developments and investigations in that vicinity for several months. And Mr. Stewart back up his predictions with an exhibit of genuine oil sand which he took from an oil seepage on the ranch of William Mayer who lives on the old Schindler place on Cerritos avenue. Twenty-three geologists have made investigations on the 10-acre holdings of Mr. Mayer, known as the Ida Barbara ranch. Everyone has returned a favorable report, and Mr. Mayer has been offered fabulous profits on his property. The Standard Oil Co. has so much confidence in the findings that it obtained leases on surrounding properties. Mr. Stewart said. Mr. Stewart says that he can produce the proofs of a sure oil find in that vicinity to anyone who wishes to step into his office at the corner of Lemon and Center-sts. Mr. Mayer came here sometime ago from New York and purchased the property thru Mr. Stewart, neither of them knowing of the oil seepage at the time. He had had the property but a little time when he began to be besieged by oil men and geologists, more than 20 in number, who had known of the seepage for a long time, but had been kept off the property by the former owners. Thru the influence of Mr. Stewart he succeeded in having a wealthy relative from New York interest himself in the proposition. This man employed one of the best and most noted geologists in the state, a man he did not know was in the permanent employ of the Standard Oil. When Stewart, Mayer and their riends, began looking about to obtain the necessary acreage they found the Standard Oil Co. already had some of the best field scouts buying leases. In speaking of the situation Mr. Stewart said he had never before heard of paying from $100 to $200 bonus an acre on wildcat property, and that ollmen would not have done BAR ASS'N. ENDORSES WORLD COURT PLAN MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 31.—The American Bar Association today endorsed the plan for a world court proposed by President Harding. The matter came before the session on a recommendation of the executive committee, which approved a resolution embodying the endorsement of the plan drawn by former Attorney General Wickersham. The convention was in its last hours today, with election of officers place of meeting for 1924, committee reports and other big matters to be decided before evening. The association was asked this morning in the report of a committee to take steps to secure the enactment of an amendment to the federal constitution to bring congress into session immediately upon the election of a new house, and to change the date of inauguration of the president from March 4 to some time in December or January. The committee on aeronautics called attention of the association to "the international problems connected with aernantics, particularly to the necessity for the modification of rules governing aerial warfare." The committee recommended enactment of state and federal legislation "which will encourage the development of commercial aeronautics in the United States." The chief speaker of this morning's session was William Draper Lewis, of Philadelphia, director of the American Law Institute, Debate on the world court and other committee reports will follow Mr. Lewis address. Mr. Lewis declared that the work of the institute is to promote the clarification and simplification of the law and to promote its better adaptation to social needs. "No profession in this or any other country has ever undertaken a task of greater difficulty," he said. Robert E. Lee Sander, Dallas, Texas, was elected president; F. E. Wadham, Albany, N. Y., treasurer; W. Thomas Kemp, Baltimore, secretary. The new national executive committee chosen was: protect his head from the sun and his game improved forthwith. The speed of his strokes forced Johnston into errors, and then with a sensational drive from the side lines he won the game at 4 to 2. Beginning service again, Johnston forced the Anzac to drive into the net and replied in kind. An out by Johnstone gave Anderson the lead and a net by the American increased it. Johnston, however, carried the points to deuce as a result of the next two rallies. A net gave Johnston the advantage joint, but the Australian rushed into forecourt for a remarkable placement volley and it was deuce again. Successive nets by Anderson presented the American with the game after this, at 6-4. Anderson won the sixth game, 4-1, making the score in games three all, the result being due to Johnston's errors and a backhand shot from Anderson that the American allowed to drop in deep court without molestation. The seventh went to deuce on Johnston's service. Anderson earning two points with sensational placement, the first barely clearing the net and the second scorching the sidelines out of Johnston's reach. Anderson then broke service by taking the next two points, the first on a net by Johnston after a prolonged rally and the second on another placement that caught Johnston going wrong way. The points went to 30 all in the eighth game on Anderson's service, the crowd causing Johnston to not a ball. The American made four-all in games by forcing Anderson to drive out of court and following this with a terrific forehand placement. Johnston took a lead of 30 love in the ninth game with a volley placement and a drive that climbed over the net and fell safe. Anderson replied with a soft drive that barely cleared the barrier for a placement after which Johnston proceeded to win the game. Tagging All the Bases Babe Ruth was at his best and the Yanks took a fall out of the Senators by a score of 4 to 3. Ruth obliged with a double, two singles and a pair. After his carefree throw had permitted the White Sox to tie the score in the ninth, Uhle went on to the thirteenth like a one-way ticket, doubles by Sewell and Stephenson, giving the Indians a 3 to 2 decision. Ehmke made it five victories in many starts against the Athletics this reason by pitching the Red Sox to a 3 to 1 victory. The Tigers were shut out by Shocker who recored his 20th victory of the season, 4 to 0, the Browns winning in spite of the absence of New York interest himself in the proposition. This man employed one of the best and most noted geologists in the state, a man he did not know was in the permanent employ of the Standard Oil. When Stewart, Mayer and their riends, began looking about to obtain the necessary acresage they found the Standard Oil Co., already had some of the best field scouts buying leases. In speaking of the situation Mr. Stewart said he had never before heard of paying from $100 to $200 bonus an acre on wildcat property, and that ollmen would not have done so were they not convinced a vast oil bed underlies the district southeast of Anaheim. "We look to see in the very near future," he said, "several oil derricks from Ball-rd. to the county hospital, and from the boulevard to the river." "There are many other signs of oil besides the seepage. From the logs of waterwells drilled in the neighborhood, and from natural gas boiling up from a nearby well." "It is unfortunate that we cannot have more independent companies, or capital, to do at least part of the development. Why let the big fellow have it all?" QUIET RESTORED IN ALL-NIGHT RIOTING PERTH AMBOY, N. J., Aug. 31. Following an all-night riot, in which a crowd of 5000 stormed a meeting of 500 klanamen and defied police and firemen to disperse them, quiet was restored this morning when the last of the klansmen left the city under police guard. During the night many persons were injured, none seriously. Police revolvers cracked as the crowd charged upon the meeting hall, arresting the efforts of the mob with bombs, revolvers and streams of water played from a fire hose. The rioting was the worst that has attended any meeting of the klan in this section. When the police charged, the klanamen went in all directions. Many fared ill when they fell into the hands of angry citizens. They were badly beaten when rescued by police and state constabulary summoned to the scene. Other klansmen could not make their escape. There were fully 500 klansmen in the hall at daybreak, besieged by a dwindling crowd of attackers. As police saw the ranks of the besiegers being thinned with the coming of day, they urged the klansmen still in the building to flee. Police commandered a big covered automobile truck and while they stood guard some of the knights were hustled into the vehicle. Others fled in groups of twos and threes under police guard. Brickks and stones were hurled at the truck. At the county bridge leading to South Amboy another Mr. Lewis declared that the work of the institute is to promote the clarification and simplification of the law and to promote its better adaptation to social needs. "No profession in this or any other country has ever undertaken a task of greater difficulty," he said. Robert E. Lee Sander, Dallas, Texas, was elected president; F. E. Wadham, Albany, N. Y., treasurer; W. Thomas Kemp, Baltimore, secretary. The new national executive committee chosen was: Thomas W. Blackburne, Nebraska; W.B. Smith, Connecticut; S.E. Ellsworth, North Dakota; T.W. Shelton, Virginia; A.T. Stovall, Mississippi; G.E. Newlin, California; F.A. Brown, Illinois; Charles S. Whitman, New York. A resolution was adopted to hold a special meeting of the association in London just after next year's regular convention. ISSUE BONDS SOON MANILA, Aug. 31. Announcement was made today by Gov. General Wood that the ten million dollar bond issue which Philippine sugar planters have been trying to for some time will be issued shortly. Negotiations which have been under way between planters and American capitalists have up to now been in a state of deadlock because, while the plantation owners were willing to put up their properties and crops as security for the loan, they refused to surrender control of these properties. Ehmke made it five victories in as many starts against the Athletics this season by pitching the Red Sox to a 2 to 1 victory. The Tigers were shut out by Shocker who recoated his 20th victory of the season, 4 to 0, the Browns winning in spite of the absence of Williams and Severeld. NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION POSSIBLE NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—A new middleweight champion of the world will be crowned tonight or the old one re-established as the result of the meeting of Johnny Wilson and Harry Greb over the fifteen round distance at the Polo Grounds. Grab, the challenger, is favorite at odds ranging as high as 2 to 1, but Wilson, in spite of his unpopularity has gained quite a following among the betting fraternity and his supporters may reduce the odds to even money by the time the men enter the ring. The Pittsburgher is generally favored to win because it is believed that his superior speed will combine with the fact that Wilson has done little or no fighting for two years to dethrone the title holder. Greb's ceaseless punching is expected to score the points, Wilson's lack of accuracy to leave the openings. NEW YORK GIANT'S OWNER INDICTED NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Charles A. Stoneham, chief owner of the New York National League baseball club, was indicted today by the federal grand jury on a charge of perjury growing out of the investigation of the $5.000,000 failure of the brokerage firm of E. M. Fuller and company. If the girl who needs spanking had can't put it over, and if it's a sound idea, propaganda isn't necessary. FOR RESULTS—Try a Plain Dealer Want-ad.
