Disappointed in Other Match
The Johnston Anderson match did
not produce the tennis that I had ex
pected. Seldom have I seen Little
Bill' play finer ball. IL he had been
forced l am certain that the gallery
would have been treated to one of those
exhibitions which only Johnston can
give. but. unfortunately, Anderson was
far below form.

after SO severe an illness as that from
which the Australian has Just recov-

velOp. his ordination of stroke for

"Jim' Anderson is great tennis
player, and It is most unfortunate that,
due entirely to physical reasons. he was
unable to do himself justice. r do not
mean to detract from Johnston's mag
nificent performance. as the tennis
which Little Bill" played prob
the world, but I desire to be equally
fair to Anderson.
Throughout the three sets 1t was not
Johnston's offensive play. but the ina :
bility of Anderson to control the ball,
which was the determining factor.
Johnston could at any time have taken
the offensive and thrilled the gallery
with those marvellous defense. crushing
drives for which he is famous.
Generalship Won
But finding Anderson hopelessly off,
he wisely avoided pressing him in such
n manner that the Australian star might
have regained form, but instead allowed
IN" Antipodean to make error after error
rather than win the point outright him
self. 1t was mastery generalship on
the part of the famous little Californian.
Anderson made game stand in the
third set, when Johnston led 81. and
by the only flash Of his true form which
he displayed, coupled with a momentarv
let down on the part Of Johnston, pulled
even to 3-all, but 1t proved flash in
the pan and America took her sec ond
point when Johnston ran out the set,
6-3.
A repetition Of the national doubles
final, in SO far as the personnel OF the
teams 90, will be staged in the Davis

son and Pat O'Hara Wood meet Vincent
Richards and myself.
Should we win. the cup is safe for
another year. Australia, her back to
the wall, will fight with that same
courage which has featured the play of
the team in all the ties this year. The
Antipodeans never admit defeat until
the final point has been won, and look
for one o. the greatest struggles of my
career before America can safely claim
the famous trophy.

WEST PH|LA. HIGH
MAY GET TGR|D|R0N
Speedboys Probably Will Use
Donovan-Armstrong Field for
Home Football Games
IS CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL
BY PAUL PREP
IXIEST PHILADELPHIA HIGH

u
w SCHOOL may play its home foot
ball games on new field this season.
II present plans materialize the
Donovan Armstrong field. Forty eighth
and Walnut streets. will be used by the
western gridders this fall. The D-A
lot was used by the speedboys during
the last football season.
West Philadelphia has been trying to
get field near the school for years.
And now comes the chance to get the
D-A grounds, Just across the street.
Last season the speedboys were forced
to play their home games on three diff
ferent fields. Most of the contests
were held on the +. r. r. Y. NJ. G. A.
grounds, Forty fourth street and Park
side avenue. This gridiron. however.
was unsatisfactory because of its great
distance from the school.
Houston field and Cahill field also
were used by the s2eedboys. These,
also. did not satisfy the westerncrs.
Dates conficted with Central and
Catholic, and the orange and blue was
never sure Of either grounds.
If West Philadelphia secures the
Donovan Armstrong field everything
will be set for the coming season. The
school will not have to worry about its
genes and the rootcrs will not have to
travel more than few yards to see the
games.
FrankfOrd
Out of Luck
Frankford High School is out 0;
luck. The 1921 Interscholaslic Foot
bail League champions will not be able
to play on the. new field this season.
In the later part of last spring It
was announced that the 1929 gridiron
season would be opened on Community
Field, which Is being constructed as i
war memorial, adjacent to the school.
Community Field, however, is not in
shape for football. 1t has yet to be
graded. and no real work has bcel
started on it so far. And even II tic
lot is graded this fall, it will not be
ready until spring.
Franklord, though, might secure per-
mission to play on Browns Field. homo
of the Yellow Jackets. This gridiron
is inclosed and is one Of the best in the
city. Then, too, it Is real close to the
school.
Germantown
In Same Boat
Germantown High School is in the
same boat with Frankford. The Give
dens wi II not have field.
A drive was started IN Germantown
last year for field, but none has been
secured to date. Property is sky-hgh
up the ''avenue" way, SO it Is unlikely
that Il gridiron will be secured this fall.
1t is planned, however. 10 get field
before the next baseball season rolls
around. The Green and White used
the Pencoyd diamond In the spring, but
this was too far away from the school.
