every ball with control. and he soon
had Tilden on the run. The latter
apparently found it difficult TO re-
vive his forcing game and in his
mixing of soft and hard stroking
piled up errors and was forced out
Of position by Shimidzu's lobbing and
side-llne tactics until ne dropped the
first two sets.
The third set, which was really
the turning point to the match.
moved steadily in Shimidzu's favor
until the Japanese challenger was
within two points OF victory.
The heat during the afternoon was
intense and both Tilden and Shimid-
zu were exhausted by their continu-
Gus footing about the turf in the
torrid atmosphere. Shimidzu, in ad-
dition, developed a slight attack of
cramps, and the American cham
pion. sensing the fact that his oppo-
nent was slowing up. forced the pace
sufficiently to win the third set at
Us and gain respite of ten minutes
In the clubhouse.
Gets Early Lead.
Refreshed by a shower, rub down
and dry clothing, Tnden ran into an
early lead in the fourth set which
he won go Shimidzu developed a
muscle cramp toward the end of this
set and was obliged to let a number
OF returns pass unplayed. There was
considera BILE delay before the fourth
and fifth sets while the Japanese
received massage treatment, but he
was unable TO resume his former
court covering pace in the fifth and
final set, which Tilden won in a
spectacular manner 6-1. The Ameri-
can champion with his deadly service
working, and renewed ability 10 get
to the net quickly. killed off his OPP
ponent's returns with smashes at the
barrier and made it two straight
victories for the American cup de-
tenders.
Remarkable Play.
Some idea Of Tilden's remarkable
play when he actually settled down
TO winning is shown by the stroke
analysis with a margin of as earned
points over Slimidzu. consisting
partly OF so placements and 20 ser
vice aces. His record in the latter
respect was marred by the double
faults. In error making Tlden al
most doubled the Japanese players

(Written for the United Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. with
the change in the coaching system
at Purdue University, interest in the
football season OF 1921 increases.
There was material for a far better
team at Purdue last year than the
record made by the Boilermakers

rial is still at the Lafayette school.
Followers OF athletics at Purdue de
clare that some OF last years fresh
man eleven was better than most

Washington, ID. G. - Removal from

to enterprise, 80 that business may go
forward and prosperity be assured, is
urged by Representative Simeon d.
Fess, of Ohio, chairman Of the Nation
al Committee. He says:
Our supreme need now, as | see it,
Is to remove the unnecessary handi-
caps on capital, so that it will seek in

in time of war, is hardly defensible

principle of all sound taxation in that

is the basis of universal controversy
The same is true on determining the
Income tax. The Treasury authorities

as far back as 1917 are still unsettled

back taxes are promised
