T7LDEN AND JOHNSTON
EAVORITES FOR TITLE
Stage All Set for Opening of National Championship
Tourney Vest Side Tennis Club Courts
Today-PIayers ArriUe Early
BY SPICK HALL

Forest Hills. y. v, Aug. 3O.-There
was threat of showers as the players
began to assemble for the ehirty ninth
annual all cohers' national 4 tennis
championship here today.
The playing surfaces were in fine con :
dition and officials busted themselves
assigning umpires and contestants to
courts so that the first division of the
opening round got under way without
delay.
One default went IN early as the
news came from Southampton that
Hugh g. NJ. Kellcher, former Harvard
star. had broken his arm in a diving
accident while swimming, and was com
PEELED to retire
A battalion OF patrolmen was on the
scene early directing the many auto
mobile owners to the parking spaces
arranged for them and seeing to 1t that
the lines reaching from the ticket
pavilions preserved order. Many of the
players were among the first to reach
here, some hours before they were
scheduled to take the courts, as the
first matches were not booked until /
O'Clock.
Two Favorites
Last night at the Vanderbilt Hotel
were gathered host of the greatest
tennis PLAYERS in the world discussing
the tournament. Opinion is divided on
the likely winner, although il is gen
orally agreed that William r. Tiiden.
I'd. of PHILADELPHIA, the worlds cham
pion. and William NJ, Johnston, pres
ent American titleholder, are the best
bets.
There are many who still believe.
despite the fine showing Tilden made
in Europe in the tournaments at the
Queens Club and Wimbledon and the
Davis cup preliminaries. that he never
will be able to beat Johnston in an
American competition for the national
crown.
There are others equally certain that
the tall member Of the Germantown
Cricket Club has gained sufficient con
,,uence Gy n,s many victorles aDroan
find Johnston n rather easy victim in
case both of them meet in the final
round.
Lucky IN Draw
Tilden has been fairly lucky in the
draw. His name appeared in the last
block of thirty two. In that section
Vincent Richards and Leonard Beck.

American people to handle this hum

"Some countries, such as Roumania,
Serbia and Czecho-S lovakia have
made some progress, so that relief
work could be lowered, but in Poland
and Austria conditions are as bad as

thrown Poland back to where It was

We have almost 100000 children In
Vienna at the present time and by the
middle Of winter there will probably
be 100000 American charity will then

there will also probably be a million

JEWISH PRESS AGAINST JEWISH
DEPUTIES.

Warsaw: by /. ]. P. b. Local
Jewish newspapers contain attacks
against the Jewish deputies, DR.. Osias
Thon and Hartglass on account Of
their attitude to Yiddish, which they
have expressed in the Polish Diet
while defending Yiddish.
Both deputies have declared them
selves personally against Yiddish and
that they did not believe the language
would survive they said that the real
Jewish language was Hebrew, but, in
asmuch as twelve million Jews use
Yiddish it must be recognized.
Jewish newspapers declare that
such viewpoint is against Jewish in
terests in Poland.
