Johnston May Play.

Church. now Lieutenant in the Avia-
tion Corps, is an instructor at Barron
Field in Texas but he is not coming
North for the tourney. The United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton got him leave. but in view of the
important work in which he is engaged
he declined to take advantage OF the
furlough. Johnston is an ensign in the
navy and is on duty in American waters.
The national association expects that he
will be here tomorrow morning. but be-
cause of some little doubt as to his being
able to get leave 1t has not placed him
in the draw. There are three vacant
places on the list and they are reserved
for Johnston. Chuck Garland. Heath
Byford or any other men In the service
who may enter at the eleventh hour.
In going over the chances of the lead
ing players we must not forget that such
able experts at william T. Tilden I'd.
whom we favor for the title: Harold A.
Throckmorton of the Coast Artillery.
Fred Alexander of the Naval Reserves.
Beals c. Wright. one time champion:
Connie Doyle. who was a sensation at
Forest Hills two years ago: Lieut.. Craig
Biddle, S. Howard Voshell. Nat Niles.
who Was the finalist with Murray last
year, and Walter Hayes. the Western
champion. are among those who seek the
honors.
Tilden has been playing remarkable
tennis. Only last Saturday, with Vim
cent Richards. he defeated Alexander
and Wright in the final of the national
doubles. The lanky Philadelphia, who
by the way is in the Signal Corps, plays
a versatile game, with power at the net
one of his best assets. He has cannon
ball service, is hard and relentless
driver and a man who cannot be worn
down. Early in the season he played
five matches in two tournaments in one
day here and was a winner in every one
of them.
The sun., 1918-08-25

Let us not forget Niles either. Fol-
lowers of tennis who remember his SEN
eational progress in the national sin
giles last year are not likely to overlook
him. Niles is playing great game and
may repeat his splendid march of 1917.
Alexander and Wright, casy old hands
at the game. generals par excellence
and masters Of every stroke. may come
through too. II Johnston plays he
may be a factor. but we doubt 1t. There
is no telling what Is likely to happen.
If Murray is the Murray who won the
final last year he will win again. but il
he Is of form we do not exepect that
he will gain the last bracket
The tournament this year is unlike
that of the past. Last season saw a
break in the list Of champions for the
first time since 1881. The tournament
was held. but the winner was not
awarded the title All the receipts went
to the Red Cross. This year the re-
ceipts are to go to the War and Navy de-
partment Camp Activities Fund, which
provides our boys over here and over
there with athletic equipment and has
GONE great work in spreading the tennis
gospel In the service.
This year finds the championship re-
stored. The national association found,
sfter seasons experimentation, that
the abolition Of championships took the
nest out Of play. 1t also appreciated that
the restoration Of titles did not inter-
.ere with the military work of the ma.
zion and did a lot of good in keeping
men and women At.
So 1t is war benefit tournament we
are to have this week, with a real title
ut stake and a field well worthy of the
honor listed to fight for 1t.
Lets look over the draw. The upper
half looks stronger, with Murray, Lieut.
Biddle, Ralph Burdick OF Chicago. Vim
cent Richards, Elliott Binson, T. r.
Pell, Lieut.. L. Z. Larned, Lieut.. KEEL
leher. formerly of Harvard; Voshell

when they arrived, it is for the great
masses of troops in the trenches. The
public is perfectly willing to give in
the face of an appeal like this, but we
lack team workers. We started sew

must continue another week"
