Champion % Years Old

Ttlden is far from veteran himself
| being only q years of age, but hf
has always shown an admirable incli-
nation to neglect the furtherance OF
his own game in coaching along young
sters.
He is credited with making Vim
cent Richards, the eighteen-year-oid
Fordham youth whose prowess on the
courts has been the inspiration of all
kid players
A friend of the champions in Phi
adelphia recently spoke of a converse
ton in which TIlden had told him sew
eral years ago:
Tennis of the future depends upon
the youngsters of today. I figure
can do more for the game by helping
the youngsters along and getting en-
bryo champions on the way than by
campaigning for laurels myself"
He followed this policy with great
success around Philadelphia
Many branded Tilden's victory in the
Wimbledon matches as a surprise. II
was. but it should not have been.
Been Starring Two Years
FOR two years the big star has been
playing just the kind of tennis that
enabled him to overcome the pick of
the worlds players and win the cham
pionship.
He never became the American ma
tional champion but he was the hard
est opponent Champ Billy Johnston
had to defeat last summer at Forest
Hills
Tilden started his bid for fame in
1918 when he was ranked as No.
among the American players. In 1919
Nnf In n
became the champion of the Phila
delphia district. the Schuylkill Valley.
Newport. North and South, Seabright
and Delaware. Again he was rated
second in the first ten.
This spring he won the indoor ma
tIonal championship and. paired with
young vincent Richards, whom he de-
featcd for the singles title, he won the
doubles championship.
with Richards he also won the dou-
bles championship at Seabright and
the North and South tournament and
annexed the Schuylkill Valley crown
with Rodney Beck.
Williams Offers Praise
OF Tilden's game, Paul Williams.
secretary of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association has the following
to say:
"Tilden depends on a wide variety OF
strokes from a slow teasing twist to
lightning like straight ball. From the
baseline he uses both the chop ana
the drive, forehand and backhand'
When pressed he assays the net at
every opportunity depending upon MS
great reach and agility to block at
tempted passes Unusually good mead
work is the basis of his success
He studies his opponents game ana
rarely makes a mistake in judgment
On the whole he combines the most
up-to- date methods of play, possessing
as he does. sound back court game
and usual volleying ability.

RAILWAY STRIKE
SITUATION CLOUDY
REPORTS INACCURATE IN PAST
IMPROVEMENT IN THE
WEST.

Sioux City, April 29.-Statements
emanating from Chicago as respects
strike conditions and the volume of
freight that is being handled, espe-
cially in the Chicago district, are de-
clared to be inaccurate in many re-
spects by Sioux City shippers and
some rail officials. While some inn
provement has obviously been made
on the western roads, it is asserted,
conditions prevailing as to traffic
shipments from territory east of Chi
cago to the west have improved COM
paratively little.
Embargoes are still in effect in
Sioux City and other cities in this
western territory. Shipments of
freight TO points east of Chicago can
only be made by procuring a permit
and that does not afford any assur-
ance that there will not be delay in
delivery at eastern points, it is claim
ed.
An announcement was received in
Sioux City yesterday to the effect
that a committee of the Illinois Man
ufacturers' association intended to
visit Washington this week for the
purpose of urging the government to
settle the switchmens strike. The
statement asserts that the informa-
ton given out by the railway general
managers association at Chicago as
to the volume of traffic, especially to
eastern territory, is more or less ey-
aggerated.
While the conditions as respects
traffic between western points seem
to be improving and are fairly salts
factory, the chief source of complaint
seems to be the inability to get ship
ments from the east that are much
needed in manufacturing and mercan-
tile business.
Very serious handicaps are suffer
ed by the railways in addition to the
shortage of switchmen in the Chicago
district. There is reported to be an
inadequate supply of cars and motiv,
power and the financial needs of the
carriers is stressing. Offerings oi
freight continue to increase, and it is
said there would be very consider
able increase of traffic if the rail.
ways could transport it.
Another obstacle to the bettermeni
of shipping conditions is the inabil-
ity to transport the volume of coal
that is required throughout the coun-
try. AS respects the fuel supply Sioux
City and other western territory are
reported to be much better taken care
of than the region east of Chicago.
Rail men express hope of an early
settlement of the transportation trou.
bles, but it is not shared by shippers
generally.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 29.-Rev.
DR.. Edmund Mills, acting secretary

states that the conference probably

that about one-third of the preachers
want to eliminate all reference tc

with the proposition.
In view of the fact that the preach.

ALL SEEDING
IS DELAYED
RAIN LIKELY TO CAUSE HEAVY
PLANTING OF CORN.

Pierre, Apr. 29.-Reports from the
northwest portion of the state show
that it was never better soaked than
it is this spring. For the past two
years that part of the state has suf-
fered from dry weather conditions,
but this year it will start with the
ground in shape to give it an immense
grass crop. With normal rains for
the rest of the summer the settlers
feel certain of good returns for their
efforts. While the storms have been
an immense benefit to the section as
a whole, they have been hard on stock
owners in many cases. On account
of the feed shortage many owners
have been feeding oil cake. This kept
the stock through the winter, but
one of the results of this feeding
was the early shedding of the ami
mails and when the late spring storms
came the stock only had its new
growth OF hair to protect it, and this
made it harder to stand the effects of
the storms.
Reports from the central and
northern parts of the state place the
percentage of crop of small grain
seeded at from 10 to SO in varying
locations. This means that either
there will be a late harvest or that
many who intended to SOW small
grain will change their acreage tc
corn. The weather the past ten DAYS
has practically put a stop to all seed.
