TENNIS TITLE FROM
" COMING TO THIS CITY
Three of tlm Quartet of
World's Greatest Players

PLAY FINAL TUESDAY
By SPIKE HALT,

West Side Tennis Club, Purest Hills,
L, I.. Sept. 1. Although, there are only
four men left in the tournament, picking
the winner for the American lawn tennis
title is just as easy as settling the
actors' strike. Not until-the final point
hag been played tomorrow afternoon can
anything definite be said on the subject
ot the 1010 champion. This nftcrnoon
there will be two great matches in the
Semifinals. In the upper half of the
draw Wallace F. Johnson, of Philadel
phia, will meet William 51. Johnston,
California, while in the lower half will
be staged n contest that will be the
equal of any finals that ever was played,
with William T. Tilden, 2d, of Phila
delphia, and Richard Xorris Williams,
also of the Quaker City, as the prin
cipals. Will but n quartet ot the world's
greatest left nnd three of these from
Philadelphia, it might seem an easy
guess that William Tcnn is certain to
harbor another titleholder. But it is
not tertaln because of the presence of
that little, sandy-haired fighter, Bill
Johnston, who startled the tennis world
by uncrowning the world's champion,
Gerald 1. Pattfon. As long as John
ston lingers there can be no certainly.
But the odds are with the Philadel
rhiaiis. Johnson Playing Well
V Wallace "on plajcd through the
'J tournament the semifinals without
, attracting the least notice from nnjonc.
It is true he had a rather lucky posi
tion in the draw, but the decisive man
' ncr iu which he dispoed of Walter Hall
Saturday mcanB that Billy Johnston will
hare his hands full in eliminating trie
greatest exponent of thevchop stroke
that tenniB has ever known. Wallace
Johnson is playing a better brand of
tennisMhis year than he has since he
met Mclaughlin in the finals of the all
comers rind all but defeated the Comet.
On that occasion the court was slow
nndIohnson's chop stroke won him
the first two sets, and it was only by
playing a franticT net-rushing game
that the then great Mac wasyiblc to
carve out a victory.
Of course. Johnston Is n strong fa
vorite over Wallace Johnson by Virtue
of his wins over Patterson and II. I.in
Murray, but at that the Philadelphian
g suro to give the Cnlifornian a run
for his money before the afternoon is
over. i
Williams at Top of flame .
Wharwill happen in the Williams
ttilden match is something to speculate
upon. Williams's game has improved
within the last two weeks to such an
extent that many declare his play
against Willis Davis was the finest ever
seen ou any tennis court. Add to this
the fact that he easily trounced Vincent
Rtchjrfds. Tilden's protege, defeated
.MeXoughlin without effort and put R.
V THomns out of the running and you
haye a result that must be disconcerting
to the followers of Bill Tilden.
Williams's game to all appearances
lacks nothing. He ,was never serving
wjth more deadly precision and speed
than now; his ground strokes are vir
tually perfect and his volleying from
nil narts ot the courts, both foro and
L 'back hand, are so remarkable for tfieir
;w 'pace and accuracy that there is no place
icy to pick a flaw in his playing.
Tilden Better Server

' universal opinion of tennis, experts tUat

with n perfect cross-court placement
for the point, nnd if Brookes tried to
lob It invariably went out. So It hap
pened (hat after all- the years that
Ilrookcs has been playing tennis it re
mained for Bill Tilden to discover what
would beat him.
Outgeneraled Brooks
On the Vihole, Tilden not only gave
Brookes a decidedly stiff drubbing, but
he outmaucuvered him in all depart
ments of the game. Brookes has" always
Tbccn rioted for his. wonderful court gen-
cuilship, nnd he is a great court gen
eral, but Tilden proved a better one.
Whether this had some element of luck
in it or not is n question, but the fact
remains thnt mechanically and in gen
crnlshlp Tilden played the better gairtc
and deserved towin.
There was one very regrettable inci
dent that occurred in the Tildcn
Brpokes match and one which did not
redound to the credit of American
sportjmunship. Tilden had two sets to
Hrookes's one, five gnmes to three on
the fourth set nnd 40-80 on the ninth
game. In other words, one point meant
the game, set and mntch for Tilden and
he was serving. He shot one of his
terrific serves that struck well out ot
the service court. Brookes made no
attempt to return the ball, as he always
does
when there is a close onn thnt
might be called cither way. Instead he
just waved his racket and got set for
the second service, but Tilflcn hesitated
for n decision. Umpire Coulin should
have been able to see that the ball was
out nnd declared it a fault, but instead
he asked (lie linesman, who. after
squirming in his scat nnd hesitating,
said, "Good."
Tliis gave Tilden the match. Brookes
threw up his arms, not in protest, but
in a manner which indicated that he
accepted the inevitable.
Perfect Sportsman
It is hardly within the range of pos
sibility that this decision would have
affected the ultimate result; at the same
time it was a miserable piece of work
on the part of the linesman. As for
Brookes's stand on the question, it
must be said that he ncted the part
of the perfect sportsman that he is. He
made no protest at the tiific nor nfter
waul. He rushed up to Tilden mid
congratulated him just as heartily as
though nothing out or the way had oc
curred. With this exception everything during
the tournament so far hns run off
smoothly, and it is to be hoped thnt
there wil be no repetition of this cither
through partisanship or inability to
handle the linesman's job.

Fifty-eight CrevVs Will Compete
in Middle States Regatta
on Schuylkill River
SEVENTEEN .EVENTS
Fifty-eight crews, including sonic of
the best oarsmen of the country, will
face the starter this afternoon in the
twenty-eighth annual middle states re
gatta, to be held over the one-mile na
tional course on the Schuylkill river.
The starting poit is just above the
Strawberry Mansion trolley bridge,
while the finish is above the railroad
bridge at Columbia nvenue.
The starter will send away "Jack"
Kelly. Vesper's "iron man" nnd na
tional sculling champion, nnd George
Allison, Undine's speedy little sculler,
in the quarter-mile dash at exactly 2
o'clock, and from then on races will be
held at intervals of ex cry fifteen min
utes until 0 o'clock, when the senior,
eight race, the most important of the
daj, will wind up what promises to be
one of the best afternoons of boat rac
ing that the localVfaus have seen in
many years.
A nummary of the entrants show's that
thirty-two are from the clubs along
Iloiithouse Row, while twenty-six arc
out-of-town crews.
A crew that attracted a great deal of
attentiou was thf Fisk Red Tops, of
the Fisk Tire Company, of Chicopee,
Mass. This is the first industrial eight
thnt has ever rowed on the Schuylkill,
and its appearance mnrks the beeinnlne
of a new era in the rowing game in thii"
center ot American rowing.
The Red Tops, in their nobby uni
forms of red and white nnd with white
caps with red tassels, presented a pic
tmrsqiie appearance as they paddled up
the river. They arc a gjoup'of big.
husky boys nnd appear capable of send
ing an eight through the water at a
good rate of speed. They will row in
the senior event against the Unions, of
Boston, nnd the Undines, of Philadel
phia. The Undine eight is, with a few ex
ceptions, the same eight that defeated
the Argonaut crew of Toronto, Can
ada, in the senior, eight-oared rare ou
the Fourth of July, and thc Philadel
phia fans nic backing Coach James
Bond's charges to again uphold the
honor of the Quaker City in the premier
event of the day. '
