Rickard Wants It Clear That He Has the Market in Title Bouts Cornered SOME EXPERTS CLAIM HEENEY WILL GET CALL Others Say It Will Be Johnny Risko Paulino and Sharkey Also in Running By AI.AX J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK. March 22. The heavyweight elimination game has turned into a guessing contest. Tex Rickard doesn't care how many guesses the boys take so long as they maKe it clear that the New York promoter has the market in title bouts cornered.

There is no limit to the number of chances on this merry go round. Maybe Rickard himself doesn't know the answer, but the experts pre dom? the best they can to help i out. Some insist Tom Heenev, te Anzac. will get the big call. Tom i the common people choice.

Khers say it will be bounding Johnny Risko. the big rough and tumble boy. Johnny is backed by the bakers and pretzel benders the "big dough' 'men. John and Tom are the finalists of the heavyweight tournament but the answer seems to be: what of it? No arrangements have been made for anv final yet. Paulino, others guess, will be called back into the Rickard fold.

The Basque has as much "color" as any of the contenders but otherwise his chief recommendation is pn ability to "take it," Even Jack Sharkey's name continues to be mentioned in some quarters. There is no doubt the sailor once wao the fair haired boy. so far as Rickard was concerned But a knockout, a draw and a defeat on points, in his last three fights have taken the logic out of the sailor's challenge. Back again, then, goes the guess that it will be Dempsey and that the one big title fight that Rickard plans this year will be held in September instead of July. Meanwhile Gene Tunney and the New York boxing commissioners are having a little guessing contest of their own.

Te commissioners aren't quite flattered by the way the champion has ignored their list of heavyweight challengers Sharkey, Heenev and Risko. They see no humor in the fact that Sharkey is at the head of a list of logical contenders even though some of the experts do. The solons will exhibit their an noyance tomorrow when they con der Tunney reply to their re ciiii i or ctennite action ana even niTiv take some drastic action ak amst the champion. Tunney, a New Yorker, hasn't yet forgotten that the commission refused to recognize him as a challenger in 1926. the year he won the title in Philadelphia, and also erected obstacles in 1927 that forced Rickard to take the second Demp sey Tunney battle to Chicago.

ri AYED FOOTBALL TOGETHER Shortstop Grant Gillis and Outfielder Emile Barnes, rookies with the Washington Senators, played football together three years at the University of Alabama. The match was a slashing, ever doubt affair from the first, the University of Michigan student turning in a dazzling exhibition of well placed service shots to take the first set and coming back in the fourth to make it two all after the Davis Cup captain had marched easily through the second and third frames. Coming up to the final and fifth set. Lott snapped into the lead by out counterin? the veteran, and It looked bad for Tilden for a time. The Chicagoan carried the games to five four and Tilden braced to make it even.

He shot over close service shots then for two straight points to take the sixth game of the set and followed it through with a decisive margin in the deciding game. Tilden. cooler today than yesterday when he was beaten by John Hennessey of Indianopolis, in a five set match, and he was steadier most of the way this afternoon. Hennessey defeated Wilmer Aiy son, Univeristy of Texas national intercollegiate champion, in the other sinjles match of the afternoon, 6 4, 6 4, 6 3. W.

F. Coen. of Kansas City, defated Arnold Jones of Providence, sixth ranking player of the country 46, 6 8, 6 3, 7 5, 6 4. Wray Brown, of St. Louis, made the count even after his defeat by Jones yesterday by beating Edward (Bud) Chandler, Harvard law student, 7 5, 6 2, 1 6, 6 4.

The racing commission's ban on Sande was lifted at a special meeting when that body met to consider the application the jockey had submitted, asking that his license be renewed.

Sande's suspension last November followed charges made by a track steward who accused him of deliberately fouling Reigh Count, the favorite, when the noted jockey was riding Bateau in the Pinilico futurity. Sande was found guilty of pulling his mount across the path of the other entry. All other tracks in the United States and Canada, which recognize the Maryland commission's ruling in banning Sande. were now expected to permit him to ride. TAKES TO BARRY'S IDEA Harold G.
