Witnessed a match in the spacious
sbuhding greeted Tilden. and the ova-
tfcn he received was in keeping with
the accomplishments of the lanky Phil
adelphian. He appeared keenly appre-
ciative of the reception which the local
fans gave him. and while his game was

.sinss Richards Stands Up Well
Richards stood up remarkably well
under the slashing service Of Tilden

pssess ion Richards won the plaudits of
the crowd by the manner in which he
returned the shots of Tilden. The
