Wilhelm shot an approximate 75 In the forenoon and an idea of Egan's 'games may be gained from the fact that the former national champion then stood 3 up on . Wilhelm.

Three other stellar bouts will com plete the bill. McCarthy and Trambitas met in a ten round main event in Portland not many months ago and put up a great scrap, McCarthy winning by a close shade. Gorman and Baird fought eight of the fastest rounds ever put up in the Northwest at the Milwaukie arena a while back and a 10 round go between these two gamesters would be worth traveling miles to see. The other banner bill will be staged in Astoria July 30 during the state convention of fhe American Legion, and will find Muff Bronson of Port land meeting Eddie Shannon of Los Angeles in the 10 round main go. Bronson is going at the fastest pace or his career while Shannon was rated as the best lightweight on the Pacific coast up to his match with Joe Ben jamin. With, both men in great shape the fans can look for a sizzler when they clash. Frankie Murphy, the agressive Den ver welterweight, will meet Stanley Willis in the eight round semi-final. Murphy and Willis fought in Portland to a draw, many of the fans thinking that the Denver boy should have had the decision. A return go will give them a chance to settle .the question of superiority for once and all. Three other matches will round out the card which is being arranged by Billy Foy of the Portland office of the American Legion. Foy is well acquainted with all of the angles in the boxing game and set out to give Astoria a regular card and has suc ceeded. He will clinch the rest of the matches this week.

ABERDEEN. Wash.. July 10. (Spe cial.) A bout between Bobby Harper and Archie Stoy of Aberdeen this month,, is a project upon which local promoters are setting their hopes, in answer to a persistent demand from the fight fans that th two light- weights be again brought together at the Aberdeen Athletic club, quar ters. Staging, of such a fight, the pro moters say, is not without difficul ties. Stoy, it is believed, will refuse to meet Harper if the latter refuses to make the 135-pound weight. Many fight followers claim that Harper cannot do this. Harper, the conten tion goes, outweighed the Aberdeen boy by several pounds during the re cent bout at Olympia in which Stoy went, down to defeat. ' .On the other hand, Stoy. wants, a chance at Harper. He is quoted by his friends as saying that in a return match he would employ other methods of fighting than those he used at Olympia.

The Americans will meet the Brit ish team July 15 to decide which -shall play the Dutch team, the winner of this last match earning the right to play the cupholders, the Australasian team, for the trophy. Johnston and Tilden won today's matches by -scores of 6-2, 6-3. 6-2. The match was played in fine but somewhat windy weather, before a large crowd. The Americans won th toss and Johnston opened the service, winnihg the first game. Gobert fol lowed and equaled the games after a long struggle In which deuce was called eight times. Johnston's fore hand driving was noteworthy in this struggle. Tilden took his own ser vice with fine deliveries and great cross court volleying. Laurent! dropped a service game and the Americans annexed their next, lead ing 4-1. Johnston's Play Brilliant. Gobert. again serving magnificently, secured the sixth game in which the lobbing of the' Americans was short and some drives were netted by John.ton. The French pair, however, failed to secure another game. Til den took the service to 15. and In the last game Johnston scored on per fect lobbing and fine volleying. The first four games of the second set went against the servers. Then Johnston, serving, took the fifth game. He played wonderfully, scor ing with a sensatioral' half vollev. another loj volley and some shoulder height volleys. With Tllden's next service game America led, 5-2. Here again Johncton played a brilliant all-ar-und game. Laur-ntz, serving next. won a love game. Johnston did like wise, taking the second set. Americana Prove Superiority. In the third -id fir 1 set. ths Americans played a great game and in all departments proved superior to their opponents. Throughout th match Johnston was wonderful, "is forward drives frequently killed ths ball, while when serving he got right up to tne net and punched volleys with tremendous po-ver. Today Tilden was not so outstand ing and brilliant as hitherto, but this was due merely to the super-brilliance of Johnston who played his finest game in England. Gobert played fiercely nd Laurentz served well, iiut as a pair they were outmatched today. Nevertheless, Go bert sometimes stood up to Johns ton's hardest drives and scored on them. Johnston dropped a service game in the second set, owing to a succession of grand service ret rni and Tilden did likewise in this set. Otherwise the. Americans always kept the service games and took several to love. The An-jricans combined admirably, Tilden being exceedingly clever in playirrg volleys anI never once misctng an overhead smash. Th match was over in 55 minutes. MILLERS WANT HONORS KERR-GIFFORD TEAM IS AFTER WHITE SALMON CRACKS. Local Aggregation Has Won " Out of 8 Games Played to Date and Issues Challenge.
