warning about his condition, and he
aselared that his throat was in better
sssne than il was yesterday, and the
5sv's rest ought to bring him around
a'ss'i g. think I'll be all right" said Lit
Let US hope he Will be, for it is a
..~culean task he faces for the rest OF
,hs tournament. Tomorrow at o'clock
~ the championship court Johnston
uisvs Vincent Richards. of New York,
H. iunior champion. The Californian
sook Rithards's measure once before
his season, on the only occasion they
met. ard his terrific "stroking" and
tbe all-rouni strength OF his game is
better calculated, l think, to give the
Nav York lad trouble than a less con-
centrated fury of attack.
Richards Brilliant Player
Richards, Of course, is one of the
rost brilliant players in this country
to-dav. and he is capable of rising to
almost any heights. as witness his de-
f,ats OF Norris Williams and Tilden on
successive days at Providence last
JuIy. The junior champions ground
strokes, however, are somewhat lacking
in speed and pace, features in which
Johnston excels.
The winner of the Johnston Richards
match must face the winner of the
match between Tilden and Zenzo
Shimidzu, who meet tomorrow after
noon ct o'clock on the No. 2 court.
The national and worlds champion is
the logical victor here, for he has de-
fsated the little japanese in all their
matches to date, though in each case
pressed to the very limit.
cannot recall any tournament in
which thera has been such a truly
magnificent program of top-fight t
matches as are scheduled on the Ger
mantown courts on successive days
next week The feature match on
Tuesday should logically be betwee n
Tilden and Johnston, though twist of
tate may bring forth Richards and
Shim.dzu, otherwise known as
"Shimmy," as the contenders on that
DAY
Johnston and the playing-through
champion would provide the great match
Of the tournament and perhaps the
greatest Of all times. You have only
10 look back a year to that memorable
fiye-set struggle, in which Tilden de-
feated Johnston in the final round at
Forest Hills last September, to realize
what another meeting between these
two tennis giants promises in the way
Of spectacular features.
Matches of International Flavor
At IL O'clock noon tomorrow Dean
Of the British Isles, Davis Cup team,
viii play on court No. l, while on court
No. Q, at the same hour, the two Aus
tralians, ]. B. Hawkes. and J. 0. Ander-
son come face to face. Williams will
start play against S. Howard Voshell,
Of New York, at 3 o'clock, and these
are the feature matches for the day
It should be an afternoon of excep-
tional tennis.
The veterans national singles tour
aey is also scheduled to start to-mor-
row afternoon at 4 o'clock, with William
A. Larned. the seven times nationa.
title holder, top-heavy favorite.

The success OF the mems tournament
at Germantown is fine tribute to tbs
men who have matters in charge there
The great event is being run on line:
similar to those that have made ths
West Side Tennis Clubs annual holding
Of the event the worlds standard. Nc
higher praise could be given any tour
nament committee, and S. c. Collomb
the chairman of the Germantown com
mittee, is to be congratulated on his
achievement.
