ANDERSON-HA WKES,
AUSTRALIAN'PLA YERS,
IMPRESS TENNIS FANS
Norman Brookes' Pupils Will Make Trouble for Ameri
cans in Years to Come Success of National
Tourney Shown in First Day's Play
By nOUEUT W. MAXWELL.
Sport Kdltor Erenlm Public Ledger s
AMONG the 108 entries In the national singles tournament, there arc 107
who arc not going to win the title. Among these are J. O. Anderson
and his fellow countryman, John 11. Hnwkcs.Nof Australia, who have been
whllins-away n few hours on this side of the globe as members of the antipo
dean Davis Cup tenm. ,,. j
Neither of these successors to Norman Brookes, Gerald Patterson and
the late Anthony Wilding Is going to take our crown home, but this isn't
their last chance. As a starter, America In likely to hold several other all
comers' tournaments, and to conclude, these exponents of violin-strung bats
are moro than likely to play a return engagement. Neither Anderson nor
Hawkca has reached the top of his game far from it. Doth have
vast possibilities, and with the perennial Brookes as their coach, they aro
certain to make trouble for our gentlemen of the turfed quadrangle Booncr
Anderson is a rangy, speedy, hard-hitting Individual. Like most of the
boys from "down under," he is very serious on the courts and never allows
himself to loaf on the job. In hi" match yesterday with Lawrence Bice, the
Doston crack, Anderson did not get started well. In the first set, which ho
lost 0-1, the Australian served eight double faults and a flock of errors. Most
of his errors were on netted bulls, and the ninjorlty of these were just missing
their mark, crashing into the tape an inch or so below the top.
In the finnl three sets Anderson found himself and proceeded to win,
0-2, 0-4, 0-3. Ho went to the net nt every opportunity and killed with a
finality that reminded the spectators of Hilly Johnston.
Anderson's service is one of the features of his play, for It Is of the
Tllden cannon-ball variety. He served fifteen aces in his match with Rice,
nnd while ho had numerous doubles faults, they were more than offset by his
fine delivery In general.
llawkes is a left-handed player with even more possibilities than Ander
son. Those who have watched the play of Ichlya Kumagae quickly noto that
they stroke the ball in virtually the same manner; that Is, It is hit with a
sweeping stroke of the racquet which imparts n superabundance of "top" to
the sphere, making it very difficult to play. Hawkes conceals his direction
almost as well as Kumagae, aud whllo he Is not so steady as tho little
Oriental, his ability to get to tho net and stay until tho point is finished
makes Mai a dangerous future opponent for this country.
Hawkes has a service that is as hard to return as his drive, fqr he puts
the maximum of English on it and adds to this a further asset by placing
his delivery with Temarkablc accuracy. Ills Service also Is almost free of
double-faulting.
Oy TTIE tchole, JlateVcs has a tretl-rounded game, and one tchich
is sure to send him iccll up in the tennis world before many more
season) have leaned.
No Favoritism Shoivn
THE first day of the tournament was n big success from every viewpoint.
The attendance was surprising, there being more thnn "000 in tho
Ktands. In New York this would pass unnoticed, because big tennis event".
are common there. Here, however, it was something like n record. The huge
stands, constructed for the tournament, were almost filled, nnd today a
capacity crowd is expected. There are seats for 10,000 and standing room
for two or three thousand more. Therefore, everybody will be taken care of.
The Gcrmnntown Cricket Club officials have done wonderful work.
Everything has been run ofE without a hitch, the spectators are well taken
care of nnd no partiality or favoritism is shown. The champions are treated --'
' the same as those playing in a nntionol tourney for the first time.
There nre three courts In the nrcna where the stands have been built.
These are the very best places to play, because the largest crowd Is there to
witness the matches. Yesterday Tllden nnd Johnston were there, and today
they are playing on the outside. Dick Williams hasn't entered the inner
circle yet. and the only reason Wnshburn Is playing a return engagement Is
because he is paired with Wallace Johnson, and tho match should be the
best of the day.
One of the busiest persons In the place is William N. Morice, the old
University of Pennsylvania football star, former coach and one of the
greatest football officials in the country. Mr. Morice hns charge of tho
Tlsltlng automobiles: in fact, he Is n reception committee. He greets every
thing on four wheels nt the gate and makes their stay pleasant. He also is
taking care of the scribes, which in Itself is a wonderful accomplishment.
The tournament could not be held In a more beautiful place nor In more
pleasant surroundings. The huge stands, built of pine, which arc on three
aides of the square nrcna, the dark gree.n burlnp stretched around the sides,
- ivhlch form a wall, the color blending With n perfectly kept lawn, the colorful
frowd and the wonderful playing of the experts all combine to make the
Cricket Club a p'ace well worth seeing.
A tennis crowd Is different from any other gathering. There is plenty
of excitement, lots of cheering and noise, but never does It last more than
a minute usually less than that. Cood shots are applauded and errors are
overlooked. Plajers never arc roasted and panned for making mistakes, ns
in. the case in baseball. It bccms ns If the spectators arc sorry for tho
players who err.
Yesterday there was little chance for applause except In the Johnston -Kelleher
match, nnd that was due to the fart that the New Yorker was the
under dog nnd was battling against Insurmountable odds and making the
former champion extend himself.
LOCAL audiences alicays give credit to a game guy, ichether he
icins or loses.
Tilden "Very Nervous"
rWAS Bill Tildfn who opened the tournament on the same field on which
he started to play the game twenty-one years ago. Tilden, weighted
down with the national and world's chnmplonahip titles, took on IrTlng
Wright, the Boston veteran, and won in btraight sets. He established a
winning strenk which would get any ball club out of the cellnr, nnd the
spectators were almort speechless when they realized what was happening.
Bill won seventeen games in a row, n record not even equaled in the
American or National Leagues this year. He did this in the short space of
one-half hour. It would take a boll club a month to do the same thing. As
for our local teams, It would take them a couple of years.
Tllden was very nervous before the tournament opened. He had a
couple of titles to defend and was positive that every man entered would be
glad to get them. In this ha was right, onlj he. didn't go far enough. There
are many who weren't entered who would be pleased to be called world's
champion.
Bill arrived at the club early, and was o excited nnd nervous that
the only thing he could do was collect three friends, sit at a vacant card
table and piny auction bridge. He p'nyed all morning, and was in the midst
of an exciting hand when an attendant approached the table and said:
"Mr. Tllden, you are wanted on the courts."
"What for?" demanded BUI shortly.
"You are to play In the opening set against Mr. Wright, and they are
waiting," was the icply.
Tilden dropped hit cards wearily aud said: "Oh. jes. I almost forgot.
Wait here, boys, and I will be back in n short time. See you later."
Bill went out on the courts, remained away thirty-five minutes and
came back wearing the bnme titles. He want en worried.
"It was the fastest championship match 1 ever have seen," said Al
Iiosklns. who umpired tin- match. "Three sets lu thirty -five miuutes is
mighty fast work, and It won't happen again for n long time."
But Hoskins did not know that Tilden wanted to get back to that
bridge game.
AXD they say tennis is a strenuous sport.

but lewksbury needed two nutts to

fourth Tewksbury sank a fort -foot
putt for a bird 2, squaring the mntchc.
On the fifth hole Hoffner took two
putts and lost n hole, but he won the
following onu wflie Tewksbury re
quired three putts. They halved the
seventh in 0, and Tewksbury sank
a long putt on the eighth. On the
ninth both drove the green nnd Tewks
bury sank n putt from tho edge of the
green for nn eagle 2.
It was a wonderful putt, because
he was reaclly stymied by Hoffner's
ball. The large gallery was very
liberal In its applause. Tewksbury was
out in 34, one of the best scores made
on tho outward Journey during the
tournament.
Hoffner was 4wo down nt the turn
nnd niNsed a one-foot putt on tho
tenth, making him three down. Tbey
halved the eleventh nnd twelfth in par.
nnd on the thirteenth Tewksbury's ball
trembled on the edge of the cup. but
failed to drop. Hoffner annexed the
hole nnd was only two down.
Both played the fourteenth badly,
getting in trouble for a half in six nnd
both missed a long putt for a bird on
the fifteenth. They halved the six
teenth and seventeenth nnd shock
hands, but played the eighteenth out.
The winner of the big mntch this
morning Is expected to come through
the tourney, as most of the talent,
meaning the red-hot fnvorlte. were
pulled out into the upper bracket.
Again the defaulting businc.-s has
come up. One of the requests n the
invitation in most similnr events is that
a player Is asked to play through the
tourney if he enters.
There were 200 entries at Lu Lu.
The scores which qualified were very
low, so that it was rather a hand-picked
list of survivors. Two players de
faulted In the second sixteen, nnd if
they had nnnouueed their intention In
time two of those outside looking in
could have entered.
It In an injustice to the committee
nnd to the few who would otherwise
have qualified.
The time has come when the going
is too lively in any tournament here
abouts for the leading players to count
absolutely on qualifying in the first
flight. If they don't qualify jit would
be good sportsmanship to play in the
lower sixteen or nt lenst fnil to turn
jn the card. But to wait till the morn
ing of the first round and then fall to
show up not so good.
The tourney was remarkable for the
fqct that only four strokes sepnratcd
the last man in the first flight from the
first man in the fourth. Lu Lu is
much more advanced than it wns last
year. Some highly exciting matches,
with low scores, are expected this afternoon.

in one league, were badly knotted, nnd
whllo Detroit. Cleveland, Chicago and
St. Louis in the other wero hardly .more
than n gamo apart, nut, for all that,
tlir.MD21 finish has stirred tho fanatical
pulse to n high degree, where "more than
a lew impassioned lans feci caned upon
to indict by mntl all writers not willing
to give their club 107 per cent tho best
of It.
When tho Firntcs, for example, were
seven games ahead, wc.gave vent to a
few lines concerning their, pennant as

East and West
WITH the tennis championship under

The Harrlsburg basketball Worn has
hnd time to consider the cage situation
during the summer months and hns
reached the conclusion that up-State
fans arc not just ready to be initiated
Into the ways of major league bajjkct
ball. As n result there wns n vacancy
at the fall meeting of the organization
last evening.
Several teams havo applied for ad
mittance, but there vseems to be no
hurry to nward the vacant franchise ns
n strong team Is desired. It Is hoped
before the next meeting that other cities
will be on hand to place n team In the
field besides Atlantic City nnd Wilming
ton which desire to play league ball. It
is fii id that another application will
be filed from Harrlsburg.
The success of the EnsUrn League
has been due to the fact that the long
est jump, to Reading, can be made In
two hours. Already Wllkcs-Barrc and
Hcrnnton have been ndded and another
long jump is likely to wreck the or
ganization. ;Prlor to this season there have al
vviiyt: boon two teams in this city. Ger
mantown won the pennant Inst jenr
nnd nt the close of the season the league
tlccidetl not to ward the flag, and in
stead reorganized and left Gerninn
town out. Dave Bcnnis shows no in
clination to get bnck Into the gnme,
even if he is offered the vacant berth.
and there is abrolutcly no chnnce of
his seeking admission. If the Eastern
I;cngue. wants another Philadelphia
club in the league and Bcnnis Is the
man sought, they must come to him.
It wns decided to play n fifty-six-game
schedule this year, divided into a
split layout and to be jnuimed into
twenty -five weeks. This will make two
home games per week during certain
months, while sevcrnl
