Remarkable Conditioh
Tildcns physical condition is remark
able. He could play ten sets of singles
and get away with it in good shape.
Consequently, it is not within the range
of possibility that he is apt to show
any physical effects of the match, even
II IL goes to Ave furious sets.
uus" .i,uon sots With Norris Williams
M ns.,ordar ,% bo was iust as fresh when
10 ,roIlrcd off the court ms when he
,,,adnn Tbere wasn't the slightest
trace of nhysical wear and tear. The
+ taat thot be defeated Williams in
stra;rht scts at 6-1. rs. G-3. might
ssa,r to ind;cote that Bill had an easy
+;n,o brt he didn't.
W;,I;oms was no worse Yesterday than
=. hos boon in any of the great matches
that he won. 1t was simply CdSe VI
T,,der heating down Williams's offense
,,,ith q stiIl greater one. Williams netted
Il moro halls Yesterday against Tildcn than
he aid in the two marches with Thomas
and richards. .-.
Rnt tbc reason was not that lie was
IN b;s game. but that Tilden kept ham
,,,.r;n, tho hall with such consistency
AZ w;ll;ams's feet and cross court that
ths former champion did well to get his
racouct on many of these shots. Tildcn
ysr;ed his STYLE against Williams by
r.iY;np fierce forehand drive with a
s.r;es of dazzling cross court chop
strotes both fore and back hand, that
kent Williams constantly on the run.
Tcrrihc Drives ., ...,.-,
n The ex Harvard ana o"Ss t'.'ts
never could get set iof sho,' o
clsverly did Tilden shoot the pa'i 70
wsrd the sidelines or straight down in''
deep court, Bill seemed 10 DC ao'e oi
occasions to send a siashing cross cour.
vones W;ai,.~,s .nar would make a desperat,
=, ,,,n,a for these. but the best he could dC
vas to get his racquet on them. Th'
.,.ru,beiminp ma iority found their wa,
,nto tho net and most of them wer'
not close TO ton of the net either.
fInt;l the last point was completed
xy;iliams never let up in his game ant
th;s kent Tilden going at his tastes
