Tills i Ills Inability or fnllurc or whatever It Is to win over Ills opponent in straight net. If it in a habit, It Is n dan gerous one; If purely u fuult, he should muWo every effort to correct It. Hut nppnreiitly lie docs not enre to do tills. It Is certain that when lie drops a ct. and It usually is the second or third, the cau-e primarily is not phlrnl. Tilden has as much .stamina as any athlete In America, consequently his physical condition cannot be blamed. lie Isn't resting because he doesn't need the rest. Iyooklnc back over Tilden's wonderful record for the last two years, it Is hard to tind where he won any match of Importance without losing n set, and In most of them the contest went the limit. Therefore It Is not surprising that Hrookes took a set jesterday in Australia. If there In any cause for surprise In that 10-S, tl-4, 1-0, 0-4 vic tory It is that Hrookes didn't take two sets. The last time TiTdcn and IUooke.s met was in the fifth round of the national tournament at Forest Hills in lM'J. That day It took Tilden five sets to win. Last summer in the natlonuls Hilly Johnston took two Mts In the final round from Tilden. lie failed to beat Wallace Johnson in ctralRht sets and he dropped one set to Vincent UK-hard, the Junior plnjer. PMV.VO t early last through the Wimbledon summer. Tilden fairly llritiih aallcrici that saw him piny, failed to win impressively in irt'crnl of Lost Many Sets in England T7OR exonilile he (lroi)iied the second JC match with Randolph Ljcctt. the Australian. .... i. n .nn.l rlnutili's nlater. is not elite of teuuitsdom ns a strong singles plajer. In that game tournament Hill lost the second and fourth sets, each 5.7, to A. R V. Klnpscote. and while lie didu't lose one to the Jap, Shiinidxu. he allowed the Oriental to carry the final set to 13-11. In the challenge round for the world s chanipiouslilp he lost n set to lutteroii. jet Johnston, who ranks below Tilden, jesterday plajed all around 1'ntter-nn at Auck land allowing him but five games in the three sets. i-erhaps uu explanation of Tilden's playing against men who are beaten by hi inferiors on the court in utraight sets is this : Tilden it temperamental and he has confidence. In the first place, he doesn't care to win in successive sets. This makes him mentally lax, which. combined with his winning confidence, often causes his game to drop to mediocrity. Another contributing factor Ik Tilden's habit of practicing difficult shot. He often does this in a hard match after he lias won a set or two. Luckily for him. his Miner-speed and uncaiinj cleverness often get him b when he takes the longest kind of chances. T IS just a caic of eccentricity gettwg the letter of judgment; an example of mental laxity af fecting the physical. .Johniton, on the other hand, altrnyi keepi his game at the pinnacle, and there fore wins moat of. his matches far more deciiircly than Tilden.

The alumni became dis couraged, decided to make a change, and after looking over a long list of applicants decided on Spears. The new coach is joung, has a lot to learn in some lines, but when it conies to football no one can deny his ability. He succeeded Frank Cnrniinugh as head coach of Dartmouth In 1D17. but did not produce results until 11)10 because of the war. Last year he had one of the beet teams In the East despite two defeats. At the end of tho season It wns good enough to give nny team In the country a stiff argument. Looking over the last month of the season-, we find that Dartmouth made a wonderful showing 0 showing which apparently has been overlooked. Getting off to a bad start against Pcnn Stntc, when Captain Robertson and other stars were injured, the team staggcTrcd through tho month of October, losing again to Sjracuse. Then came a re versal in form. Cornell, Pennsylvania and Drown were plajed on cotisecutive Saturdays and were defeated. On the following Saturday the team traveled across the con tinent nnd bent Washington by the score of 2S to 7. This game was something to be proud of. With a partisan crowd of .10.000 western fans watching them, n score of 7 to 0 ngalnst them at the end of the first quarter, the Dartmouth plajers woke up and shoved four touch downs over the line before the final whistle blew. Win ning four tough games in it row Is quite nn achievement, and although the players were directly responsible some credit must go to the coach. ' T IS reported that Harry Bankhart tcill coach Dartmou h next fall. If such is the case, it means the Green team will play some high-class football. Ilankhart is in business in -Vote VorJfc ami is said to he willing to accept the position. tournament dassltd the hut at that he his matches. set -1- tJ in his I.jcctt. considered by the White Sox will play first base. ANOTHhll home-run king Is about to make his debut in the Amerlcnn League. He Is Karl Homer Sheely of Salt Lake, and they say he is a regular fence-buster' He was purchased by the White Sot n mnnrh n .,.t Funny how Sheely has been allowed to remain in the bushes for such a long time. He has been busting the ball with vim and vigor, to say nothing of zest nnd fervor, for the last four jears, but not once has he been given u tumble by the big league scouts. Ho always hit over .:t(X). every jeur he leads the league In home runs and his fielding average is around .H00. It took the big gest baseball scandal in history to get hlui into the Ameri can League. Sheely is twenty-five year old, six feet four Inches tall and weighs over 200 pound. In 1017 he hammered nineteen homers, twelve in 1018 and in 1010 find 11 total of twenty -eight. The averages for this year have not yet been published. A hi. of which poei to show that ball players can be discovered in the minor leagues if a thorough search is made. Sharkey Is Bach Number Now YOI'NO JACK SHARKET apparently has hit the skids. The defeat handed him by Roy Moore in New York Wednesday night puts him further back on the shelf and no longer will he be considered a championship possibility. However, Jack should worry. He stepped Into fhc lime light about a year ago when ho gained a newspaper deci sion over Jimmy Wilde in Milwaukee. After that he was considered a star, received good money for hi services and should have enough aved to retire comfortably. Roj Moore is the big noise now. Wonder how long he will last?

At various times Ormaiitown nnd Philadelphia in particular nppeared with a club composed of a number of pickups while their stars were per foimlng elsewhere. Ceiiniuitowu and Philadelphia were practh ally stripped of the best plajers. The three leaders. Camden, Reading nml Trenton, re mained intact and with veternn teams had little trouble in taking a cum ninuding lead. I Oe of the drawbacks of basketball i is that it is worked on too smoll n scale. When the commission held its J first meeting It wns agreed to post n sum of S200 as good faith money on i October 1. This tnrtiio was riilieu- loush small if the body was to menu, mi) thing.
