TILDEN S COMEBACK A

Wizardry of Strokes, Enormous Physical Endurance and
Crafty Court Tactics Caused Johnsten's Defeat When
Victory Seemed Certain in National Tennis
"TF THERE Is only one man In thf whole field of sports who can steep himself

Hots off te the American champion, the world'? titleheldcr and the brain-
. Itst and gnmet tennis player that ever cavorted en the green of a chalked
' tnrf Bill Tilden. He beat William M. Johnsten, of San Franclsc. in five
,iet, 4-fI, 3-tl. O-'J. 0-3. tf-4. for the national crown and challenge cup en
Saturday at Manheim. and he beat him when defeat was closing in from all
ides.
i Tottering en the brink of disaster, beaten two te one in sets and "-love en
fames, the tall Phlladelphian fought his wnj back te triumph by wizardry of
trekes, court tactics of a master mind and gamene..
Never before in the long hltnr.v of tennis ha such .1 remarkable come
back been witnessed, .lohnsten was within three games of the American
championship and there a net one in that vast throng of 1.1,000 who did net
believe that n new kins of the courts would be frowned before evening shadows
blackened the emerald turf.

The Seul of a Champien
.'ST when prospects were blackest nnd defeat inevitable, the spirit of
Tilden are'e and by the might of his racquet, the speed of hi- cunning
brain and the tleetnes of his feet he carried the day. Ne human being could
have steed against the tennis of Tilden nt that point of the epic match.
Ne one, by the nmc reasoning, could have withhe'd the accurate, steady
..Johnsten except Tll''en, and where is there a mnn In this whole world, aside
from Tilden, who could spot the wizard of the West two set and win?
But the stage was set for a Tilden comeback. It Is when the critical stage
la reached, when tin- situation is nt its most Intense point nnd when strained
Brves are at breaking edgp that the great athlete of the (ierraantewn t'rlcket
Club arises te his greatest form. The soul of a real champion shines brightest
In the dnrk comers of fierce competition.
Six straight games he ran and be lifted himself from desperation te an
even position with his adversnrv. In the rush of th champion .lohnsten
Cracked. It was enough te unnerve am master of hini'elf. nnd the wirv
TVesferner. usualh stridv and ae-urire, be;an the wildest ttreak he has ever
shown In the East.
J)ALL nfer hall pre: k-i nu f" raeawt nf Johnsten fell into thr
D net, and point bu point Tilden Urekrd en te Hi fourth -set victory.
Johnsten Alse Shows Fight
INTO the fifth set they went and Tilden. riding en the crest of his new
found mastery, carried the tirsl game, bur Johnsten was net yet te be
counted out. He was weary nnd weak, for Tilden had purposely run him. but
en his own service he took a love came, but once ni"r the Tilden sweep brushed
blm aside, while the champion piled up three mere viiteries. This placed
Billy Pcnn's son in the lead at 4-1 en games.
Here "Little Bill" showed the fight for which l.e l-fimeus. He bittWl
4eperately against the drop in bit. game and he regained form. He fought.
te, against the frailness of his tmv body, and cnllin; en all the rescne left in
kls shattered nerves, his aching and cramped musdes and his !cad-beay feet,
ke staved off defeat momentarily by winning the neM two games.
However. Tilden. the ball hound, could net be denied. In the net came
lie returned Johnsten's most -feared strokes and he advanced a notch nearer
the 1022 championship. Again, the Westerner, with his bii'-k te the wall,
demanded mere of his already fraed -trength and he collected enough stamina.
te win the next game, but the eud came in the following one.
T 1TJS n magnificent struggle nn the part of both player, a
tflendid mateh. rith neither holding nvJi advantage in ttrekc
wizardry, and both di'pla'iing stamina and jemfrtp'i that hrlic their
slender builds.
Tilden
fAS A great
JT hands in the air.
True Sportsmanship
placement decided the match, he threw both
brend smile tia'hl across hi freckled face and he
shower congratulations uren the man who had eon-
rushed te the barrier
"tuered him.
His congratulations were sin're and heartv and his smile was net furred
He was happy te shake the hand of a man who could beat him fair and square
And the man who can smile in defeat and pour words of -inrerity and praise
Inte the ear of his master Is a real man and a thorough sportsman. And such
'5 la William M. Johnsten.
And there was Tilden. happy in the iey of triumph and yet bis enough te
admire the rival who could give him such a battle.
Tilden were his laurels modestly, and yet there i no one mere deserving
of praise than himself. Ne fairer or squarer opponent ever lived than th"
Man of Manheim. He wen net because of his sportsmanship, but in spite
of it.
One incident illustrate the point. One of the numerous sideline drives
by the Westerner was called out. Tilden thought It was in. However, he said
Det a word, nor did he glance in the direction of the judge, hut the next ball
he hit out deliberately, se that his opponent could gain the point he thought
he had earned.

Tilden Edge en Earned Points
TN THE matter of errors, Johnsten had the edge, but this Is net strange,
X the wee chap is n marvel of nrrurary. He committed forty outs, forty
even nets and four double-faults. Tilden had forty-two outs, forty-seven
nets and seven double .faults. These figures total ninety-one for Johnsten
against ninety-six.
But Tllden's triumph was based en earnd points, for he had Feven aces
nd fiftj-ene placements, while Johnsten compiled only thirty-five placements
and but one ace.
It was in the fourth -et that Johnsten s error column roe alnrmmglr
His netting was frequenr and eight In a row were chalked up against hint,

tere theu te the. barrier. It teas a lingular coincidence that
manu of Tilden's taee balls fell ever the cord. The "breaks seemed
te be against the IVeitcrner and icttn Tilden, and they xcere just as
fortune seems te favor a uitnninjj bajeball club and scorn a losing one.
Management of the Tournament
ANY closing story en the. forty-first annunl national lawn tennis singles
championship without a word concerning the management of the tourna
ment would be as incomplete as a fire bucket without water. It Is estimated
that mere than liO.OOO persons saw the peven days' plav. and the huge throngs
were perfectly handled. Every one was seated comfortably in their own seats
and they were guided back te them after the promenade betwpen matches or
during the intermission between sets.
The various details, nnd there were a million and mere of them, were
attended te carefully, and the efficiency of the (iermantewn Cricket Club
Tennis Committee, of which Samuel II. Colletn was the head, caused many
flattering words te be poured en the Manheim officials.

Media has long wished for a well,

Umpiring in Independent Ranks

Many of these arguments are traccnble te umpires decisions. They c

In these early foil days there isn't much te twilight nnd there is rarelr
evening when mere than six or seven Innings can be played.

If. in the opinion of the umpire, the full inning cannot be plaved bef
darkness it should never be started. Kn
The series has dragged along new te such a late date that It is doubtful It
the championship will be decided unless the games start earlier. '
If there is any element of sport connected with the series, the content,
should begin at an earlier hour. This could easily be done, for few of the athW.
