fortieth annunl tennis champiouKUin or. America is uCi ..u. lUD
crown Btlll Is rcitlng on Bill Titden's
tbe beet man won. The tournament made a big hit with tennis inrni, out mora
than that, it created an Interest in the 6mo that was nerer known before.
TWo nre more people In this fair city of ours Interested in the court game
ow than there were two weeks ago. Thta was due to the excitement caused
by all the foreign stars being here, together with the best talent of this country.
There always is added interest when International flavor is attached to any
sport, nuudreds attended the matches to sec the Americans beat tho Invaders,
and now they are real tennis fans.
The tournament was a great thing for the game generally, and particularly
in this city. It was the first time It was held hero and the attendance far
aurpassed any figures made when It was held In New York or Newport. It
1b estimated that on the eight actual playing days 84,000 persons entered the
gates of the Ocrmantown Cricket Club. That's an average of 10,500 at ach
day's matches. Any sport that can draw this way in a '0"1'0"8 run o
more thnn a week certainly must have n stranglehold on the populace.
Kvcn on opening day, when tho iccond. third and bteerago class playcrs
-mre colliding and the stars were meeting men of far inferior rank. .oOO
ternT out to 'n the matches. On the first Saturday, the day TI den met
P." GoldsborouBh. of Ualtlmoro. there o 0300 In the Mnmls. tcrduy
a week ago it rained and the tourney was all wet: but last Tuesday, when
our Will took on Shlmldni. the Jap star. 13.000 crowded the bleachers, and
everywhere. It looked an If the place couldn't hold on., more spectator but,
nevertheless, uhen Tllden and Wee Will Johnston went to the mat last
Wednesday, it was figured that 14.000 souls were present.
Tho next day the attendance flopped, which U the King s Kng Ish for
decreased. That was because the big thrill was over, but despite this thero
were 0000 on hand. This was boosted 2000 last Friday for the Tllden-Davls
wtto, and dcjplle the threatening weather, S000 turned out on Sot"
YestenlHV Tuden and Johnson played to another capacity house, which means
there we're more than 13.000 banked around tho courts.
Tho tournev was a l'hlladelphla affair from beginning to end. Our fair
city stood out like the Woolnorth Building nurrounded by n flock of German
dachshunds, riiiladelphians staged it and staged it better than it has ever
been put over before: Philadelphia won It and with two men in the final
clinched the title as it never has been clinched and rhiladelphians attended It
as It never has been attended. And there you have It.
Bam Collom, the chairman of the Tennis Committee out at Mannclm, is
deserving of all the praise that can be showered upon him. He also had an
ablo group of assistant composed of club members who pitched In with tiara
work and long hours to make it a success. Philadelphia and the Geruiantown
Cricket Club put it over and PUT IT OVEU BIG.
MOW
thnt t it all washed uv.
official! of the city to pull hard
Certainly Philadelphia m entitled to it.
New Faces in College Football
ALL OF the big football teams, with the exception of Princeton, will get
Into action next Saturday and tho 1021 season will be formally opened.
The games will not be interesting or exciting, for they are just preliminary
warm-ups: but there should be some interest In how the major elevens shape
up. Many new faces will be in the line-ups and the work of the recent
additions closely watched. ...,,.
Penn will play Delaware and, according to reports, the athletes from
Newark are now in the best of shape. They have been training In Maryland
nod the sessions havo been so strenuous that most of the players are In mid
season form. Anyway, Penn should have little trouble, for the coaches
bare the varsity men in condition and a flock of substitutes will be avallablo
en the sidelines.
Two games will be rather important, Inasmuch as they will show how f&r
advanced Pitt and Lafajette are for the big game next week. Lafayette will
take on Muhlenberg and Pitt collides with Geneva. These contests should
be won by huge tcorcs, because the big teams have been working hard for
three weeks in preparation for the October 1 struggle. It Is unusual that a
contest of such Importance is played so early in the season, but it was the
only open date on the Pitt schedule.
Yale will meet Bates and the game will be a walk-over. Tad Jones has
atlected his varsity with Dlller and Sturn. ends; Cross and Into, tackles:
Quail and Hidden, guards; Norrls, center; O'Hearn, quarterback; Mallory and
Captain Aldrlch, halfbacks, and Jordan, fullback. This Is the only team
that has a real varsity line-up and the regulars will be used until n couple
of scores are made. Then the substitutes will get a chance.
Harvard will indulge in a double-header, which, by the way, is a good
idea. The Crimson squad is oo large that it takes two games to give all of the
candidates a chance. Boston University and Mlddlebury will not offer much
opposition, but the players will get lots of exercise and learn how it fsels
to play against strangers. Penn State will entertain Lebanon Valley In one
of its easy games. Hugo Bezdek has a stiff schedule from October 13 on,
meeting Lehigh, Harvard, Georgia Tech, Carnegie, the Navy and Pittsburgh
ia, a row.
West Virginia will open with West Virginia Wcsleyan at Morgantown
and the new coach will have a chance to show some of his Dartmouth shifts.
The Mountaineers are all set for the Pittsburgh game, which takes place on
Gfetober 8.
A 'WEEK ago it was feared that tho game would haie to be tt
A back o tceek because Forbes Field itemed to be the most likely
spot for the world series. However, now that the Ptratet have folded
up, the game uill be played as per schedule.
Boxing Commissions Are Jokes
AFTETt every big boxing bout these days, It seems as If the boxing commis
sions always step into the picture with some ridiculous ruling, just to show
that they have some authority. After the Downey-Wilson thing in Cleveland,
Downey was declared middleweight champion and Referee Gardner barred from
officiating In that State. On Labor Day, when a return engagement was
staged In Jersey City, the Jersey commission held up Wilson's money. It was
claimed that the champion did not do liU best and Instead of Acting Immediately
and stopping the bout, a ruling ww made that Wilson should receive nothing
tor bis services.
Now comes the featherweight championship tilt, which was decided In
Cleveland on Saturday. Kllbane won, but the commUston has barred hlra
from further boilng In the city. This is because of n claim that the champion
did not live up to the rules and dlctuted to the commission.
This Is a very funny ruling. If the commlsMon had any power, It should
have exerted It before the match. The boxers had to observe the rules and. If
they didn't, the chairman of the commUalon hod the power to coll everything
off. Instead, he waits until It is all over, attaches the tinwuro to Kllbane
and admits he was powerlc.'B before the bout took place. All of which shows
that boxing commikilons arc big jokes, and Philadelphia Is lucky In not having
one.
But Kllbane should worry. With 503,000 added to his bonk account,
the featherweight championship safely in his grasp, Johnny Is In n position
to do as he likes. The battle he put up proves he is not a has-been and In
creased his drawing powers tremendously. Ho showed everybody that he
could fight, and now, instead of being referred to as the cheese champion and
ridiculed throughout the country as the flghtlcxs title-holder, he Is In good
standing again It doesn't take long to change public opinion. Last week
Kllbane was n bum. Now he Ik a hero
One of the outstanding features of the bout was the work of Walter C.
Kelly, the referee. Kelly Is one of the ablest arbiters In the game and Is at his
best when the situation becomes tough He handled the first round better than
ninety-nine out of a hundred referees. Instead of losing his head whin Frubh
claimed a foul, he just walked out to the fullen man, told him to get up and
then informed the crowd that real money had been paid to see a fight and
they were going to see one. Instead of a nukty situation, Kelly saved the day
rad sent every one home happy.
Jimmy Dougherty, who has seen every big light staged in this country in
the last twenty years, enjs tbe champion did better than ever before, and If
be had shonn the same aggressiveness agnlnut Leonard, the result would have
been different.
e
yd DENTALLY, Johnny fooled all of the wise ones, including
Jimmy Dunn, his manager. The bitting was against him and his
leversul in form cost Dunn $3000. The Baltimore contingent left
Cleveland absolutely broke. They had bet everything they had that a
usto champion would be crowned.
Final Open-Air Boxing at Cambria
THE liil open-air show of the season will be staged In Kensington on Friday
night when Johnny Burns will offer five all-star bouts to bis dlscrltn
. inttlng patrons. Johnny has been operating all summer and has had fair
success. Italu ruined four of his entertainments, but that was a small per
Clientage. He got away with an even dozen during the season.
' Burns does not step out and grab top-notchers for hli show. He uses
only local talent and there is more real fighting at the Cambrlu than any
- jJoce else. If tho boxers do not put up a good scrap, tbe audience takes It
upon itself to start one. Therefore, the action always is fast and furious.
On Friday night Bobby McCann, of Grays Ferry, will hook up with
'Pommy C'leary, of Manayunk. This should be an exciting fracas, as both boys
fjre very clever and rapidly climbing to the top of the division.

i' MAY
MEAN GOLF CROWN
British and American Opon
Titles Won by Players Break
ing 70 to Qualify
FIRST TEST JOLTED FIELD
IJy SANDY McNIHUCK
Mnjhe breaking 70 in the qualifying
round of a national chnmtjlonshlp mean
something tltls year. Ordinarily It Is
considered very snappy when n player
dips under the 70 mark and bowlN over
n course record, but it's not supposed
to be j;ood form for it s. metlmes nien
Hint a plnyer has put nil his best hots
in tho prf'imlnnry round nnd bus burnt
himself out. golfically speaking, for the
championship proper.
Francis Oulniet had n 00. over tht
first half tff the 30-hole test to qualify
for the rnteur golf championship of
America jestcrday. Did It mean any
thing? Considering the records in the na
tional chnmplonshlrfl so fnr this year.
It did. It means hn will be the cham
pion on Saturday night. All you have
to do Is hark back to the records of
the champions to far this year. In the
llrlthih open nt St. Andrews, Jock
Hutchison qunltfkil nnd led the field
by the kindly aid of u 00. At Colum
lln. in the Ameiicnn open, Jim Barnes
also scored a CO, which was again the
course record nnd led the field in the
two-dnv quilihing test there.
It Is now history how Jock and Jim
won thir rcHpi-ctivo titles nfter their
auspicious starts with n 09 to qualify.
The Facts
There nre a lot of superstitions in
golf, but this might as well be written
In as an unwnvorns fact this ear -ho
far. A 00 this season in n nntlonnl
qualifying round menus thnt plnjer will
win tho title.
Of "ourse. It didn't work out last
jenr when Hutchison had n CO to
qualify in tho American oton, nnd It
didn't work out in either the western
open or amateur this year. Nobody
would believe It might work out in the
play nt St. Louis this week, except for
the fact that Oulme.' mndo it.
It sens to tlnglo him out of the
"Big Thrc." Chick Evans. Bobby
Jones nnd Oulmet, ns elected. Good
ness knows, as they say, there's llttlo
elee t choose between them, except 'nt
year's national. After Oulmet soundly
defeated Jones in the semi-finals, Evans
just as soundly bent Oulmet In the
final.
With his "cnitch" putter Evans Is
now said to be very confident on the
grcenB, his main weakness of other
yearn. Jones is in thrro to bust through
nt laHt to a national title and Oulmet
Ir tho samo, having long been In what
you might call the background.
First Upsets
As usual a couple of top-notchers
took the lone count In the first elimina
tion round for the national champion
ship. The surprise is that tho toll was
not heavier. It was this elghtcen-holc
preliminary round that kept moit of
the local players from taking the long
and expensive trip to St. Louis.
J. Wood Piatt, George Hoffner and
Paul Tewksbury, oil discussed tho pos
sibilities of going, but when it enme to
the last analysis of the situation it
didn't seem worth while. It was too
much of a chance.
The main stars to fall Saturday were
Davo Herron. national champion in
1010. nnd Frank Thompson, the young
champion of Canada.
Though Rudv Knepper, Sioux City,
runner-up to Chick Evans In the West
ern, dazzled the first trail voyagcn
with a 70, his brother Tred was barred
by two strokes.
There wero 112 starters, and it
would not hnvc been so very bnrd to
send this field off for n 30-hole session
but the plan bad nlrcady been made for
the short preliminary to get down to
04 survivors and this plan held. Har
old Weber, Sherrlll Sherman, W. W.
Patten. Cameron Buxton, former Phil
adelphia amateur champion ; F. C.
Newton, once winner of tho Lynnewood
Hall cup: JImmIe Standlsh, who once
ousted Oulmet in n national, and S. W.
Stickncy, St. Louis golf mentor.
Forolgners FaJtw
Two of Great Britain's quartet of
starters in the going also failed to
make the grade. Thoy were Raymond
Swift, and W. R. McKay. The latter
is a brother of an American professional
and had won many amateur honors
abroad. He was expected to figure but
the best he could do was a drab 00.
Willie Hunter, British champion, nnd
Tom Armour, Scotland, made the first
grade.
It is snld the Etarters figured on ST.
to pass tho first barrier. There were
fourteen tied for last place nt 84 strokes
when Dave Herron came In. He played
his 83d stroke to tho green and every
r.ne cheered their heads off when hi
dropped a putt from 40 feet for an
Si.
All of those with thnt total were
congratulating themselves nnd prepar
ing to wnnh up when nn unheard of
player named L. E. Bunnlng, Chicago,
loomed over tho trails and dropped a
78. Thnt upset the beans.
It ousted all those with cards of 84
nnd he rounded out a list of 01. as after
thnt nothing worse than 83 got In.
Max Marstnn was the only Phllndrl
phlan, nnd played fine golf Saturday
with n 74.

TILDEN GREATEST OF
ALL TENNIS PLA YERS
Superhuman Play Swamps
IFally Johnson in Straight
Sets Ail-Around Game
Places Champion Above
Stars of Past and Present
"DILL TILDEN wns the essence, the
very soul, of tennis yesterday.
From his racquet came the best tho
gamo ever has seen and 14,000 per
son's marveled not so much nt tbe ease
with which he squelched Wallnco F.
Johnson nnd retained the chnmplonshlp
of Amerlcn, but nt tho heights to which
he climbed In doing so.
Tllden wns Brookes, Lamed, Mc
Loughlin. Lowe nnd all the fnmous
playors of this nnd the last generation
combined. Better still, ho wns just
Tllden, nnd that name means moro to
tennis now than any In the long history
of the court gamo.
Johnson's ambitions wero blotted out
in three straight i,cts, 0-1, 0-3, 0-1,
and tho scoro would have been the
samo If McLoughlln or nny other player
had been across the net. No human
could have stood ut) under the bervlco
that sped like a bullet, placements that
could strike n ten-cent piece on nny
part of the court, drives sent with
Ruthlan power and guided with un
canny nccurncy nnd chop cuts just
over the net that dribbled a few inches
high nnd then died.
Tilden plnved in the backcourt most
of the time nnd shot them pnst John
son, while the fleet-footed Cvnwvd nth
Irto vainly tried to plnce his racquet
on the unll, but no came to tne net
when occasion demanded nnd Hoftly
dropped them over when Wnlly wns
fnr awny or shot them to the side, where
they kicked up chalk n they bounced on
the Inside of the line,
Tllden All the Way
There wns nothing to It but Tllden
from the time he smashed his first ball
serlce in the opening name over for an
nco until he drove past Johnson when
he approached the barrier at the fng end
of the match. It wns Tilden first, Inst
and ulwu.is. nnd Tllden of the heights
that narnp him n.s tho greatest tenuis
pluycr of all time.
It was the second straight season that
our Philadelphia idol has gained tho
American pinnacle. Last year he was
crowned United States champion for the
first time when ho defentcd little Bill
Johnson, the 1010 tltlcholdcr. It was
the third ttralght year he has battled In
the final of the all-comers. Two years
ago ho was beaten by the California
star.
Johnson's championship hopes were
blighted for the second time In his
enreer. For almost thirteen consecutive
jenrs the Cjnwyd athlete hns been
ninong the first ten ranking players.
Twice h has been so nenr the national
title thnt 11 single victory would hnve
crowned him. But In HU'J he lost to
Maurice McLoughlln when within a
point and a game of the championship
and icsterdny he wns swept niildo by
the fury of TUden's play.
Wally was much doner to his goal on
Paturdav thnn h- wns jesterdny. On
th first dnv of their meeting the
weather was mado for the challenger.
'n. nrf wns not only dnmi). but soggy.
nnd his pet chop stroke would pormit
the ball to bounce n few Inches from
the ground and that's nil They were
n'most non-returnable. Then, too, the
dead bnll took the sting out of Tllden s
service nnd he had less difficulty han
dling them. ,
But just as the elements favored
Johnson on Saturday, so did they Mnile
on Tllden jestcrday. The air was cool,
but the two days of sunshine baked the
court hard. It was fast nnd enabled
Tllden's returns to flip off like golf
balls on asphalt.
Big Bill Cool
Tilden, cool, collected and calm, non
chantnntly snapped the ball hero, there
n,.,i Bvervwhero excent the nlace occu-

ragged In thut first ket. nlly wns

with n heavy, white sweater draped
over his shoulders, Becmcd to show no
more excitement. In fact. less. than he
does over his bridge.
iho mnster of them nil rnn up n total
of twenty-eight placements nnd live
scrvlco nccs, ngnlnst live placements
and one service nco off Johnson's rac
quet. He mndo forty-three errors to
Wnlly's fifty-five nnd he was not guilty
of one doublo fault, while the chal
lenger committed three. This just
about shows the dlffcrenco In the play
of the rivals. No't in jears has the
final of the all-comers been fco one
sided. Tilden went through the entire
tournament with tho loss of only ono
set. Thnt was the first set of his
mntch ngnlnst "Bill" Johnson. In suc
cession he defeated Irving Wright. Paul
fioldsborough,. Zrnr.o rlhlmldxu, the
Japanese star; Johnston, F. Gordon
Lowe, tho English expert; "Willie"
Davis, the California luminary, nnd
Johnson, nnd In all thexe matches he
lot one set. If thnt lsn't n record It
should be.
Two Legs on Cup
As Johnson watched tho Inst point
fly by him nt tho net in the finnl gnme
ho rushid to tho bnrrler and congratu
lated his lanky rival. Together thej
walked off the court with "Al" Glb
ney, of New York, who referecd tbe
match. In front of the presB box
stood the trophy table holding the na
tional chnmplonshlp cup and the famous
Davis Cup, which returned to this
country last year mainly as tho re
sult of Tildcn's tonnls, and stayed here
for another year for the samo reason.
The three stopped in front of the table,
and the national trophy was presented
to our champion by Julian S. Myrlck,
the president of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association.
Tilden now lias two legs on the
cup, and hns an equal footing with
Johnston nnd It. Norrls Williams. An
other victory will give the Germantown
hen) permanent possession.
And next jenr, other things being
equal, It's a 10-to-l bet that the big
silvir cup will go to our Will for all
time, judging from tho brand of nlax
exhibited jcbterday, when Johnson wns
otero helmed, not because of a slump
on his part, but becnube Tllden played
superhuman tennis.

RUTH AND DEMPSEY .
BOTH SUPER-SOCKERS
lust Two Years Have Developed Hardest Hitters
Sport Ha$ Ever Produced Combination
Explained
By GRANTLAND KICK
llie Guard
lie draies his tharo of hammering tciih
all its tribulations.
Where some one's alicays stalking on
his features or his spine:
He hasn't draicn the softest job within
a busy fia'ion, , , .
With crude offensives launched
against his sector of i7ic lino,
But when the cheers are offered
It's the back who makes the grade,
The back who plunges through the hole
l'he sturdy guard has made.
The guard is like a lot of men toith
annals unhcroic.
Who soak up all the hammering across
the drifting years,
Who spend their time beneath the mass,
where each remains a stole,
Who carry on the burdens where the
others get the cheers.
Hut when at last they're battered down
' Or pull up halt and lame,
Wc find the endless worth of them
In any sort of game.
flio Super- Soclicrs
IT HAS remained for tho Inst two
yenrs out of nil the ages to develop
the two hardest hitters that sport has
ever known.
We happen, as you may lmvo guessed,
to bo talking of "Babe" Ituth and
Jack DempRcy. Thcv nro the only two
that havo had nil the combinations
nci"V! to grind out the super-socker.
What nre theso combinations, In the
mnin?
First. Sheer physical power.
Second. Tho leverage I. c, resil
iency, snap, elasticity.
Third. Perfect co-ordlnntlon of mind
and muscle, producing perfect timing,
with no wasted effort.
Fourth. The skill needed to direct
bat or leather gloe In the right way.
AboteAH
FITZSLMMONS had the fevcrage,
Jeffries tho physical power. But it
remained for Dompscv to have both.
Ed. Dclehnnty had both leverage nnd
fower, but not up to the htnndnrd of n
tilth, who with nil his great strength
of wrist nnd arm can get his vast body
into tho swing as pnrt of n perfect ma
chine better than nny one else.
Thcso two can lnsh through where
every sector of tho human system Is
assisting tho operation. Their physical
nnd mental balahco Is perfect. They
have gathered together nil things needed
to build tho punch.
And mnny generations will wait to
see their equnls silhouetted against tho
skyline of competition.
The Change
A FEW years ago tho big play was
mndo upon science nnd control.
Direction wns placed nbovo distance
But as the game advanced and com
petition crew keener the Importance of
the punch In all varieties of sport wns
brought to light. Baseball, boxing, golf,
tennis all began to bring forward stars
who wore not only scientific, but nlso
lusty hitters, against whom those who
wero merely scientific had no chance.
Tho straight golfer who could drive
200 yards had no hope against tho
straight golfer who could drive 250.
And the merely nccurato tennis player

THE
BEST JUDGE
OF A SCHOOL
is the student who spends
the vital hours of his life
in its classrooms.
That's why Drexel Eve
ning School Classes are
made up of men and
women who come back
year after year for higher
training and bring others
with them.
These students are
proud of the fact that
Drexel concentrates every
energy on sound, well
rounded courses, to the ex
clusion of those short, ran
dom, experimental courses
which neither help the
student nor serve the com
munity. Complete
