RAIN too HEAVY
FOR TENNIS T|[TS
National Title Matches Post
poned Until Tomorrow-To
Play Same Schedule
TILDEN TO PLAY SHlMIDZU

The tennis tournament out nj tho
Germantown Cricket Club. Mannheim. is
all washed up for today.
The rain Of this morning put n crimp
in the play Of the national champion
ships and today's card has been post
poncd until tomorrow.
According to an announcement made
by Samuel Collom, the chairman Of the
Tournament Committee, the same
matches scheduled for today will be
played tomorrow and at the same time.
The officials held off until close to
/ 80 this afternoon before this decision
was reached. It was hoped that some
of the late afternoon matches could be
played, but the steady downpour showed
that this would be impossible.
The three grandstand courts have
been covered with tarpaulins so that
these courts will be ready for play as
soon as the rain stops.
The big noise Of the tourney to-
morrow will be the conflict between our
Will Tilden and Ienzo Shimidzu.
Tilden to Play Shimidzu
Those who saw the Sev Nippon push
our worlds champion to the limit nj
Forest Hills never will forget the
match. The Jap twice was within two
points Of victory and the biggest up
set in sport. but Tilden. by MASTER
full show of coolness, reserve, energy
and tennis ability. pulled through to II
win.
A duplicate of the Davis Cup match
is not exactly expected when Tilden
and Shimidzu take Court No. 3 in
the championship inclosure at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. On the other hand
tennis fans believe that Tilden will
win in straight sets. Our Bill is in
wonderful condition. and although he
wasn't pushed in his match with Ir-
wing Wright on Friday nor in his con-
test against Harold Goldsborough on
Saturday, yet he showed the form
which causes critics to agree that he is
ripe for a killing. It is thought that
Big Bill will endeavor to turn back
Shimidzu in straight sets. just to show
that the Forest Hills match was all
wrong. However, who thought that
Tidpn wouldn't win in three sets in
the Davis Cup tourney?
Form doesn't always run true, and
that is why some still believe Shimdzu
will give Tilden really great fight.

TO PLAY PARKESBURC

TNliE second-half champion Of the
Delaware County Baseball League
Is still undecided and there is some
doubt as to whether there will be any
series with Rockdale. first half title
holders, for the championship gonfalon.
Lansdowne had won the final series,
but n protest on the playing of Jack
Ryan In game with Media was upheld
by the Board of Directors, and on get
ting the decision Media finished the
season in a tie.
A hrce-game play-of was arranged,
and Media captured the first clash on
Saturday, 2 to /, making both tallies
in the ninth on errors. The deciding
contests were to be played at Rockdale
yesterday afternoon as a double header,

With the totals tied Mt = in the ninth
Umpire Smith called runner safe
when First Baseman Manager Neville,
OF Lansdowne, claimed he was out.
After a. protest play continued and a
moment later the Lansdowne catcher
pegged to second to get the runner.
The Media player is credited with
running six feet out OF line and the
Lnnsdowne second sacker made no at
tempt to tag him. the umpire calling
the runner ont. lie Immediately re
Ncrsed his decision and it was then that
Manager Neville took his team off the
field and protested the game.
Whether the series will be played
ana the winner meet Rockdale for the
championship are questions the fans are
now debating Some persons are of the
opinion the clubs will never get to-
gcther again. while others share the
belief that the series will be com
pleted.
Lansdowne. which is also Donovan

nlght 1t meets the Parkesburg Iron. and
on Wednesday clashes with Nativity,

The same holds forth as the dope for
the William NJ. Johnston Vincent
Richards match, which will be put on
in the inclosure on Court No. l at
p. NJ.
May Surprise johnson
According to form. Johnston should
emerge victor over his youthful rival.
He has done it before this year and
should repeat, but you never can tell
in baseball, or tennis.
Johnston has not been in very good
shape for the last few days. Shortly
after the Davis Cup matches he was
stricken with ptomaine poisoning. He
had trouble with Kclcher in his open
ing match on Friday and did not look
at his best. He had an easy match
with Ed Hall, of Merchantville. on Sat =
urday, and therefore was not called
upon TO punish himself. However, he
will have TO give his all to defeat
Richards today, for the junior champion
is at the height of his game.
Two interesting matches will b.
staged at noon tomorrow on the cham
pionship courts. In one contest, Dean
Mathcy, of New York will take on Cor
don Lowe, the Englshman. and in the
other the two Australians. J. o. Ander-
son and j. b. Hawkes., will exhibit. The
Australian pair are pupils of Norman
Brookes, and excellent tennis should
be on tap.

game is easily gauged by the fact that
both at Wimbledon, England. and
Forest Hills. y. Y. he forced Tilden
to ive-set matches before he bowed to
the worlds champion. An interchangeable
player, who makes almost unbelievable
gets and returns, his stroking possesses
peculiarities puzzlng to the average
follower of tennis.
In facing the server he holds his
racquet with the arm turned forward
until the knuckles Of his hand confront
his opponent. AS he draws back his
arm for the stroke he rapidly turns the
arm over. AT one stage Of the revolu
ton his racquet is edge on to the ball
but when completed the palm of the
hand has made a turn and half and
faces upward.
Shimidzu then reverses the movement
and hits and rolls over the ball with
his racquet, delivering q high Looping
return with tremendous top spin which
pulls tho ball Gown into court when at
first sight the return appears to be a
sure out
The rapidity with which he makes
this stroke gives the impression that
the racquet is spinning round in a loose
grip and is as deceptive as his service
In the latter delivery the ball is struck
with a peculiar right to left cross cut
and passes over the net without par
tiCular speed. After striking the turf,
however. II bounds high and with dis
conccrtings twist which makes return
stroking far harder than the spectator
conCelves.
Shimidzu's backhand play is also odd
in that he turns his arm over in strok-
ing the ball and hits the sphere with
the front of the racquet rather than the
back, as is customary among the ma
jority Of ranking players.
