BILL TILDEN AGAIN
 STOPS WM. JOHNSTON

Philadelphia. September l4.--t'cr the second time in two years, WI. nam T. Tilden, |, of Philadelphia destroyed all chances of William N Johnston. of San Francisco, obta'f- ing permanent possession of tht championship tennis singles cup, by defeating him here today 4-6. I-1, 6-4, 6-S. in the fourth round of th. annual titular tournament. Johnston. winner of the championship in 19l5 and 1919. staged spectacular com4- DacS but as was the case at Forest Hills, N. Y,. last September, it was Hidden vho defeated his plan to win a third ar inal leg upon the his toric trophy A year ago. Tilden wor from Johnston in the final round hy scores of 6-f. 1-6 7-5. 5-1. 6-3. To- day, on the courts of the German town Cricket club. the local player set match and apparently cleared the way for retention Of the champion ship which he won for the first time ill 1920.
 Williams Eliminated
 Johnston was not the only former title holder to be eliminated, how ever. for R. Norris Williams II. of Boston, champion in 1914 and l9lG also went down to defeat before ]. U. ADueCSpn, the AuSlTdlhSldH La ts cup player, in a hard five set match, 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, i-6, 6-4. Other survivors of the fourth round included: Wal lace F. Johnson, of Philadelphia, Francis T. Hunter. of New York, F.. Gordon Lowe of England, Willis ' Davis and Robert C. Kinsey of San Francisco.
 Tilden's victory while not entirely unexpo pocted. to a certain extent mah es the final round scheduled for Satur- day rather an ante-clmax. The holder of both the American and English titles is conceded to be the class of the remaining field and it would be a most astounding reversal and upset of tennis form if he were to be de feated during the next three days of national championship play Certain ly none of the survivors of the pres ent tournament are likely to give Tilden a battle equal to that put up by Johnston this afternoon.

only the extra steadness and fleNi bility of the victor's game that spel ed the margin between victory an defeat. Tilden, even in the face of Johnston's hardest bombardment e; placement strokes. change of pace and perfect examples of tennis tecp- nique and strategy matched skill anu brain with Johnston and fully hell his own Added to this, he had covering ability which perhaps, in the final analysis, gave him the win ming edge.
 in many respects the match lacked the sustained thrills and spec tacular play which has been associ l. ated with the game of these two players. The tennis was so well nigh perfect that there was an absence or the smashing kills and unreturnable passes which both Tilden and John ston employ against a weaker oppo- nent Today these were injected when occasion offered. but such op- portunities were few and far be- tween. Each was satisfied to return safely his rivals shot without put ting a finality into the stroke unless there was more than reasonable surety of success. In these exchanges, however Tilden always held the edge.
 Williams defeat at the hands of the tall, forceful stroking Australia sian, Anderson. was due partly tc the latteEs decisive and aggressive game andtfhe former champions own errors.
