Salling today, he { 1 lead a hunting expedition to / Tica.

DREAM OF $3,000,000 GATE FAILS; RICKARD *" PLANS NEW RECORD A . New York, Sept, 27--Now that Tex Rickard's dream of the first $3,000,000 gate in ring history has faded In the light of financial re- turns from the Chicago battlefront, the promoter is considering a new record attempt with the third match of the Tunney-Dempsey series Very Tired" but happy that the champion's successful title defense in Soldiers' Field was the greatest of his own financial triumphs to date, Rickard arrived in New York yesterday with his promoterial team-mate, George F, Getz, nominal head of the fistic extravaganza on the shore of Lake Michigan last Thursday night. Getz will sail for Africa today to hunt big game, Who Shaves His Opinion? "Nemprey is still the greatest drawine.card in the ring." Rickard said, and is far from .through' if he wishes to continue boxing. I Fave pot heard a word from Jack directly on the subject, but I eer- tainly would match Tunney and Dampsev a~p'n if the former cham- pion is willing to box his way through the winter or spring cam- paign to prove his fitness above all "ther erntenders." Rickard announced the Madi- ron Square Garden pr on the big match as * $500, 000," The gate $2,018,660 was "t0-that figure of 'Payment of $1,485,000 to the principal combatants, $470,000 gia taxes, and $250,. 000 for rent of the stadinm and reners! expenses, he said, Financial gymnastics with the meagre figures disclosed by the promoter yesterday brought to light the possibility that the gate totalled much less than the figures announe- ed and that Rickard's estimated at- tenaance of 140,000 was rather op- timistie, The Governmental taxes, amount ing to $470,000, comprised 20 per cent of the gate. Based on that fieure, the total paid attendance would have been but $2,350,000 The total seat sale at four of the seven listed prices--$40, $30, $10 and $56--amounted to 86,330, leay- ing the customers in the $15, $20 and $25 seats to boost the attend- ance to original estimates of 140,- 000. Will Shut off Radio, Ringside admissions amounted to 40,623, Rickard said, while only 16,896. cash customers squinted at the bout from the distant $5 seec- tion; 12,300 from the $10 seats, and 26,611 from the comparatively choice $30 benches. Approximate. ly 29,000 ringside seats at $25 top were sold st Pailadelphia for the "Sesqui" bout last year. In pointing out that the sale of £40 sedls nearly totalled that of the $30, $10 and $5 paseboards combined, Rickard declared that wholesale broadcasting of the bout br radio bad hindered the disposal of the cheaper tickets. Although the promoter would make no defi- nite statement, he indicated that in future "battles of the centuries" an attempt would be made to pif some financial return from radio listeners or else eliminate broad- casting of the particulars entirely.

There were flaws detected jn the team in the exhibition game agains the collegians, but the management 1» bending every effort to strengthen the line-up, and last night made the an nouncement that "Pug" Irwin, the bes: outside wiing in the Intercollegiatc Union last season, will join the tean. at practice tonight. Quarterback Roos, also of U. of T.; Jimmy Douglas, the star middle wing, and two ncwecomers | from Petrolea are others expected to attend the workout this evening. The management also stated that a determined effort will be made to lure Howard Stollery, former star middie wing with the University of Toronto team, out of retirement, but these ef- forts seem to disappointment because only yesterday Stollery stated that he has no intention of playing th season, and his father has expressed the same definite opinion. Stollery and Irwin are products of University of Toronto Schools, where they were rated among the best who ever wore the colors of the Bloor street stitution of learning. . The return of Jimmy Douglas, also 2 former UTS. player, will be hailed with delight by the fans. He is the best middle wing Argos have had since the war. But his return will hardly be a surprise, because Douglas bas come omt of retirement oftener than most of the fans can remewber.

FOR LACROSSE HONORS Fergus, Sept. 27. t. 37.--Although the 0.A.LLA, executive are making ar- rangements for two games between Weston and Fergue, the senior and intermediate champions, there is 1it- tie enthusiasm being shown here, and it seems doubtful if the locals will be able to put a team in the field. The officers of the club de- sive to quit for the season, hut the majority of the team are willing to 80 ahead. Joe Cushing will not he able to play on Saturday for busines rea- sons and O, B, Thrown, captain of the team, may not be available. Jack and Tom Russell are in Ion- don, where they are attending the Western University. With the team not at full strength Fergus is not likely to defeat Weston when none of the 0.AL.A, senfor teams could do so and with their best men absent they would he foolish to try it, A decision 1s likely to be reached today.

WOMEN TENNIS STARS DIVIDE HONORS WITH SCORES OF 80 | Toronto, Ont., Sept. Ada Mackenzie, medallist and semi. finalist of the United States open championship and also Canadian closed and open golf champion, play- ing as an entrant from the Toron- to Women's Golf and Tennis Club, | and Miss Dora Virtue, Whitlock, di- vided the honors of the qualifying test of the Canadien women's clos- ed golf championship which opened yesterday on the course of the To- ronto Golf Club Returning scores of 80, Miss Mae. kenzie and Miss Virtue led a fleld of 202 entrants, which started off at 7.45 am., and finished in the dusk. The field included the best golfers of Quebec, Ontario, repre- septatives from elubs in Winnipeg and Mrs C. F. Armstrong of Victo- ria, B. C., who was the only play- er from the Pacific Coast The en- try estabiished a record for a Ca- nadian championship. Its propor- tions were so great that the Tour- nament Committee of the Canadian Women's Golf Union was compelled to shorten holes and adjust the par of the course to avoid congestion. In spite of these precautions, on one occasion during the day there were fourteen pairs awaiting their turn to play the short fourth hole Finishes in Brilliant Mapper. Fresh from her triumph at Cher- ry Valley, where she captured the medal of the United States cham- pionship, Miss Mackenzie started poorly, tering trouble fre- quently on the outgoing half. She reached the turn in-44 strokes. On ber way in, however, the champion commenced to score her birdies with a brillianc display of golf and add- od an eagle to her card. Miss Vir- , tue, with whom she shared the hon- . ors of the day, went out in 38 stantial lead on the field. While Miss Mackenzie was wrecking par, Miss Virtue met trouble, and finally found herself in a tie for the much prized medal.

The foremost, of course, was the Schneider Cup sca plane victory at Venice, but while Lieut. Webster was streaking through the air over Lido to defeat Italians, another speed record was made which has almost as much appeal to the av- erage Briton, This mark was made by the railway train "Royal Scot," which steamed from Carlisle to London, a distance of three hundred miles, in five hours and 45 minutes, establishing what is claim- ed as a world record. The third world record, a very odd one, was made at London Coliseum Theatre yesterday by Mme. Vera Nemchinova, ballet dancer. Unassist- ed, she spun around forty times on one toe without touching the other foot to the floor, thus heating her own previous mark of 38. No other hal- lerina, she avers, ever accomplished more than 32 such spins.

Jack expects to zo gunning for the title he lost a year ago and failed to lift last week. The method of his procedure he did not care to divulge. But he was emphatic in declaring that he was ready for anybody. "I'll take on Tunney, sure, or any- body else," he said. Asked if he would box for Tex Rickard, the former champion said he stood ready to do business with him or any other promotor who had anvthing attractive to offer. Jack was in good spirits when called from his hotel suite. The on'y apparent mark of the Tunney battle was a cut over one eye, but it had almost healed. "I have two bouts under my belt, and I'm ready to get started," Demp- sev tld newspapermen. "When 40 you expect to box?" "Any time. Anywhere." "Would you box Tunney righ: away?" "Sure--almost right away." Dempsey did not care to go into details over the measures being taken to reverse the decision in the Tunney contest. That was all up to Leo P. Flynn, his manager, Jack said. rain, | Sport Snapshots | Oshawa rugby fans will likely know what grouping the intermed- fates will be placed in late tonight or tomorrow as a meeting will he held in Toronto tonight when the various teams in the O.R.F.U. in- termediate series will be represent- od, According to morning paper pre- dictions Oshawa may be grouped in with the West Sides of Toronto. Burlington or St. Catharines, Grouping with the West Sides would be quite favorably looked up- on, no doubt, by Oshawa followers, but the jump to St. Kitt's or Bur- lington would be rather long for a team just starting out In its initial year. Travelling expenses are quite high and it would take a prety penny to fare ly twenty fellowe down to St, Catharines. The Burl- ington jump would not be so bad, although that would even be quite far enough, The West Sides won the Toron- to intermediate grouping of the O. R.F.U, last fall and now that the Ossington Athletic Club has de- cided not to enter a team, many of the playars from ghe latger club have joined the West Sides with the result that a good strong twelve has been rounded out. With a team like this for Oshawa to buck up against in the first year, would cer- tainly be a good experience for the homesters and they would have the benefit of several good strong games and thus be in good shape for a good start next year, should a team be continued and there is no douht but that one will, St. Catharines were grouped last year with Kitchener, Dundas and Galt and they were: not the weal sister of the group either, If a grouping of Oshawa, St. Catharines West Sides or Burlington was made. it should prove mighty interesting, but it is not probable that the O R.P.U, will group these teams to- gether, West Sides of Toronto, who will form part of the local intermediate OR.F.U, grouping are making ar rangements to play their home games ai either Hampden or Oak- wood parks. Both are nicely sZua- ted and the West Enders would be sure of good crowds, The team Is coached by Bert Cameron and there have been about forty men out training every night. Now that it js definitely known that Vine Monahan, smashing line- man, will not he with Queen's this season, it is quite probable that he will join the Ottawa Senators in | time to play against Argonauts in 1 the capital on Saturday. And Mopa- han's presence with the Dominion champions will more than make up for the loss of Harold Starr, who last season played the middle wing position. With Emmerson, Conne!l snd Monahan available the Senators 'wlll boast of thwpe of the bept ground gainers in the Big Four. Monahan helped Otiawa win the Grey Cup in 1925.--Toronto and Empire, It is hardly probable that vue Monahan, the prominent lineman of the Queen's rugbyists, who accord- ing to Kingston reports will not be available for this season, due tv a failure in one exam will turn out with another team. Morning papere seem to think he will jump to Ot- (awa Senators, but it is understood that Monahan has made arrange- ments to go back to Queen's this year. If he can't play for Queen's, it is hardly pmssible thal college outhorities will allow him to parti- cipate in Ottawa games. "Chairman Righeimer of the Illin- ois State Athletic Commission inu- mates that the howling of the Dempsey faciion for a reversal of the Tunney verdit at Chicago is insnired by Tex Rickard by way of a ballyhoo for another Tunney- Dempsey contest.

The teams return here for the third and fourth contests at Rison Stad- fum on Saturday and Sunday. Plans for the remaining games are tenta- tive, but probably will see the Bisons in Toledo Tuesday and Wednesday and two more games here the follow- ing week-end, much depending on how many contests the best five ou! 'of nine series require. The Bisons will be up against ¢ strange mixture of former major league greats and youngsters whe are about ready to graduate intr major league ranks. Bullet Joe Bush is one of the pitching mainstays, hav- ing recently pitched a six-hit game while Rosy Ryan, formerly of th: Giants: Barnes. old National Leag- uer: Pfeffer, Everett Scott, Veach Joe Kelly end others have seen many years of hig league service. Bevo Lebourveau, somethin: of a phenom with the Giants this Spring. plays right field and leads off for the Hens. Marriott, former Brooklyr tird secker, is next in the order and plays third base. Then comes Freddy Maguire, sensational second sacker who is reported sold to the Chicaze | Cubs for $50,000, Veach, former Detroit slugging star, plays left field and bats in ths clean-up position. Ray Grimes, an- other player with major league an- tecedents, is at first base, and seven- th in the battling order is Cote, an- other youngster who was with ths New York Giants this Spring. Cote was a whirlwind at Holy Cross Col: lege and is figured for another trij up to the big top. O'Neil is first string catcher for the Hens. It is probable that the Bisons wil' start with their regular pennant combination. This means Apdy An derson, Brainard and Taylor will re main on the bench as reserve mej. with Fisher, Carter and Tyson pa trolling the outposts. Leo Manguw will pitch the opening game.

Walker BRITAIN ELATED OVER VICTORY First Time the Nation Has Held World Record of Importance (Cable Servis to The Times by anadian Press) London, Same 27.--The foremost hope expressed by officials of the air ministry today was that next year's staged in England as a result of yes- Schneider Cup race, which will be terday's British victory will find teams from American and European coun- triies entered so that the classic event will again assume a truly international aspect, Lieut. Webster's victory has greatly cheered the air ministry and all avia- tion authorities in the country. Re- cently, they have been submitted to considerable criticism because until yesterday Great Britain held none of the world's records of importance in aviation, DAVIS CUP GOES TO FRANCE; PASSES Paris, Sept. 27.--The Davis Cup, to- ward which Frenchmen have long looked with yearning, and which their racquets finally won, has vaulted, after seme difficulty, the barrier of the new drench tariff, The cup, emblematic of internation- al supremacy in tennis, arrived at Havre Friday, and there its journey came to an unexpected halt. It had met the new tariff, and the Customs Department was, for the. moment, the victor, Sixty per cent, of value is now the duty on silver articles, they said, and here was one of sterling silver import- ed from the United States, with a val- ve of several hundred thousand francs, Who will pay the duty? queried the Customs officials, The Welcoming Committee, Henri Cochet of the French team that wrested the cup from the United Sta- tes, and Captain Gillon, pleaded in vain, Ne money, no cup, was the ans- wer. And so the Welcoming Com- mittee and the players departed for Paris and the cup went into the Cus» toms Department safe, Yesterday afternoon, however, the embargo was lifted. Director of Cus= toms Cochrane simply ignored tariff rules and ordered the cup admitted luty free He telegraphed his subors liinates at Hayre to permit its entry, and the cup is expected to emerge 'rom their safe today.

Monahan nissed one examination, that of nathematics, and though desirous f continuing his studies, he was 'ust as anxious to play rugby.
