have the field stopped. These two
stand apart with no one else fairly

has the greater variety of strokes. a
better change of pace and Il big advan-
tagc in his terrific service. But John
ston has the cool Stcadiness and the
grim fighting qualities that make n
champion, plus wonderful control of
certain essential strokes, including n
winning fOrchand drive. When they
get together it is merely matter Of
which one happens to he on top of his
game. Tilden. having broken through,
may now be harder TO beat than ever
before. His victory last year may have
given him the necessary confidence.
But no man accepts victory over John
ston as sure thing. Outside of these
two it is hard TO figure any one now
with chance to reach the main tennis
heights. An upset may bubble up,
but it will be considerable upset.

Washington, April. 25.-There has

until late last night as considerable
time would have been required for
coding it. Probably an equally long
time will be necessary for Its decod-
