TlIden and Johnston Assure
/, U. S. AS Supremacy in Ten.
/ mis- for Many Years to Come.

Ut win probably be n long time be-
fore any nation separates Uncle
Sam from his tennis honors. Tllden
and Johnston. who cleaned up abroad,
first IN England and last week IN
New Zealand. for the historic Davis
Cup, are both young men. Tho two
Bills should have at least four years
OF championship tournament service
coming 70 them. In their wake will
surely come q flock OF capable
youngsters. The country is full OF
'em now. When future national
champions are card-indexed the name
of Vincent Richards, the boy wonder,
Is invariably the first one mentioned.
Here is a lad who Is still some dis
tance from voting age. and yet his
Nizardry with a racquet has already
stamped him as being one Of the most
remarkable young stars ever devel-
oped in this country. Richards is
only one OF many who will be quail
fled to take the places Of Tllden and
Johnston when the pace begins TO
set too exRcting for them.
Increased activity among boys all
ways follows international victories
Back In 1918, when Francis Oulmet
defeated Harry Vardon and Ted Ray,
famous British golfers, in a sensa-
tional play-off at Brookline for the
national open title, countless young
sters Immediately began to switch their
attention to the links Before this
event golf was like sanslSrit to many
youths but the success OF the young
American over his veteran British
opponents had strong appeal for the
rising generation. For months after
the golf department Of sport emporl-
inns was beseiged with curious
youngsters who we're eager to buy
clubs "just like the ones ouimet
uses"
The success OF Tllden in the British
championship and the victory OF the
American team for the Davis Cup
viii fetch In a whole army Of juvenile
recruits TO the game this year. It
win be a good thing for the sport
that Is already growing tremendously.
Yet, no matter how many participate,
the ultimate success OF any sport
comes only through the development,
Of promising young players. The
United states Lawn Tennis Aasocla-
tion has been alive to this and has
rsdoubled its efforts to encourage the
game among boys.
This country has now passed Eng.
Lind in the number OF young players
snd this superiority In tho juvenile
ranks wiz result In continuing tn,
worlds mastery that is now held 81
safely by the United States.
