TILDEN ADDS HARD
! COURT TENNIS TITLE
\. TO LIST OF CROWNS

st. Cloud, June 4.-William 7.
Tilden of Philadelphia today won the
worlds hard court tennis singles cham
pionship by his defeat of the Belgian
player. M. Washer, In straight sets.
Ga, 6-S, Ga. His real superiority over
the Belgian Is not indicated by the
point score. which would make it ap-
pear that the American champion had
a harder time in disposing of his
youthful left-handed opponent than he
really did. Tilden's 80 to Washers 1O7
does not tell the story of the match,
as Tilden was the winner all the way.
Tilden had only II placements
against % for Washer but this is ac-
counted for by the fact that the
American saved himself whenever pos
sible, he never went after the ball I'M
less he was sure of returning it.
Washers service, with no aces and
eight double faults, was far weaker
than that of Tilden, who served seven
aces, but matched them with seven
double faults. Tilden made only 23
nets to Washers 80.

DEMPSEY PUTS IN
HEAVY DAY WITH
SPARRING MATES

Atlantic City, N. j., June 4.-Jacis
Dempsey ended his front porch cam.
paign today when he resumed training
after four days layoff by boxing six
rounds in his open air arena with
three heavyweight sparring partners.
Between 600 and 700 spectators filed
into the arena to watch the workout
after paying dollar admission instead
of SO cents, the price charged fo,
training. D.
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
said admi ssion of 81 would be charged
On Saturdays and Sundays and perhaps
on week days for the final two weeks
of training.
AS result of his layoff Dempsey
was in condition to set fast pace, but
he did not open up until Larry Will
liams faced him for the final two
rounds of boxing. Martin Burke, the
New Orleans heavyweight, made his
first appearance with the champion,
boxing the first two rounds. Burke
is faster than either Williams or Jack
Renault and a clever boxer. He forced
Dempsey to extend himself in boxing
skill and had the champion warmed up
when Renault crawled under the rope
for the third and fourth rounds.
Jacks Shift.
Dempsey employed his famous shift
against Renault and Williams feinting
them into lefthand leads and then
hooking them with solid left hooks to
the body and head. Dempsey also dis
played his cleverness in straight right
hand hitting. When Williams and
Renault led with left, Dempsey
wifi pped over his right on the inside
instead of hooking it on the outside.
Once Dempsey caught Williams flush
on the chin with left hook and then
held him up for few seconds until
williams could sweep the cobwebs out
