Spectators Get EyefuI.
Tilden and Anderson gave the $500
persons who witnessed the big battles
yesterday an example of driving pow
er in tennis. No such hard hitting,
except for Richards two winning sets
against Johnston Tuesday, has been
displayed in this or any other tour

did not confine their manhandling of
;e .he baii to any short period. but ap.
piled velocity to their stroking at all
STAGES of their winning struggles.

down the frail Californian. who went
down to defeat wearing his famous
winning smile, and at the conclusion
of the match got at least three times
the applause accorded the victorious
player.

the fourth set Johnston was ahead at
i and had the next game 40, only
10 nave Tilden run out 5 points in q
row to even matters. In the fifth

thresoccas asions. but could not come
