Johnston-Tilden Match VIII
Be Staged To-day if the
Weather Permits.
az EuGENE r. o.coNNpLL.

All that was left for followers of ten
mis- to do yesterday was to discuss the
probable outcome of the final round
match for the championship, which will
be played this afternoon weather per-
hitting, and the might have beens OF
the tourney. Another topic favored by
devotees Of the sport was a comparison
OF the top notch players Of to-day with
those of other years. The tournament
for veterans, which has been running
simultaneously with the big event and
which attracted old timers from many
sections Of the country, opened up the
avenue for this talk
The rain which caused the second
postponement of the Johnston-Tilden
match fooled even the weather bureau
Julian S. Myrick acting referee OF the
tournament, and r. G. Conlin, chairman
Of the umpires association, were on hand
early to look over the courts. They
found that the extra precautions that
George Miller and the other ground
keepers had taken on Tuesday had left
the turf in pretty good condition and
had decided to stage the final round
championship match II there was any
sun at ALL
Myrick called up the weather bureau
and was informed that along about 2
pearance at Forest Hills and further
MORE would be helped by a brisk breeze
sd that the courts would be dried out in
Jig time. Myrick went out on the courts
again and looked the turf over. Then
after a consultation 1t was decided that
the best thing to do was to postpone
the play. The judgment Of the officials
was indicated by the intermittent
showers which punctuated the remainder
OF the afternoon.
Although those who favor Tilden and
those who favor Johnston are about
equally divided, the opinion is almost
universal that the battle should be a
hummer. On all sides the hope is ex-
pressed that the weather conditions will
be favorable so that no outside in
fiuence can tend to mar the contest 1t
is felt that II the courts are soft Tilden
will benefit because his low, choppy
strokes are made the harder to handle
by a soggy turf

Veterans, Tilt Interests.

The contest in which Fred Anderson
will meet Clearance Hobart for the vet
Grams title has aroused considerable in
terest even among the younger players.
Hobart was the winner Of the all Corners
In 1891. but was defeated by Campbell
in the challenge round for the title, and
with F. Fl. Hovey he won the doubles
title in 1898 and 1894. In other words,
Hobart was runner up for the cham
pionship before either Tilden or John
ston, finalists In the present big tourna-
ment, was born. incidentally Anderson
was playing high class tennis a quar-
ter of century ago.
Fred Anderson does not favor the
idea of playing the veterans tourna :
ment best two out OF three. He said
that he could go the full route and
that ne had not the slightest doubt that
all Of the old timers could last through
five set match.

Practically all Of the players who have
faced both Brookes and Patterson say
that the service of Brookes gives them
more trouble than that of Patterson.
While the delivery of the younger man
has more speed behind 1t that of the
veteran has a vicious break inward and
it is no cinch to make an accurate re-
turn from 1t.

Brookes has stated that in all OF his
experience he never has played in a
tournament that had been so well UNI
pired and lined. The officials have made
special point to have none but CON-
petent men operate in the chair or on
the lines. 1t should be very gratifying
to the men who have worked SO hard TO
perfect this feature of tournament play
to hear such compliment from a man
who has been playing tournament ten
mis- for more than twenty years on courts
all over the world.

Incidentally this leads up to the fact
that the officials for to-day's matches
were selected last night. Eddie Conlin
will be the umpire. Frederick b. Alex
