Little Bill Johnston's main pur-
pose in the summer campaign is to
take the American title away from
Big Bill Tilden.
His chances are extremely good.
He is said to be in perfect condition
and IL has been physical weakness
shown in his inability to so five
hard sets that has kept him from
winning back the title in the last
two campaigns.
In the East-West matches and the

He had to be up on his game TO do
that.
His game however. has always

WILBERT ROBINSON'S SUCCESS.
There IS one man hereabout who
could teach the Babe a great deal.
That man Is WiIbert Robinson.
manager OF the Brooklyn team.
Wilbert Robinson Is perhaps one OF
the biggest and best liked men con-
nected with baseball or any sport.
As a player he was one OF the best,
as a manager he Is very close to the
very best.
4 think that character Is the big
gest factor OF wilbert Roblnson's
success. for he Is one OF the most
successful men-sll things consid-
ered-.that know. He likes base
ball and baseball pays him a COM
Portable living. He likes TO develop
young players and to retrieve
broken down players Certainly he
has shown a wonderful capacity for
that sort OF work. There are two
kinds OF managers. the kind that
drive and the kind that lead. Robin
son leads his men and that Is the
better kind.
Best of all. away from the ball
field Wilbert Robinson Is about the
best company one could find. He is
an all around sportsman and
mans man, a fine. wholesome, jovlal
influence wherever he goes. He is
about the highest type Of man that
baseball has developed.
Robinson was a popular idol
because ne has force OF character,
a sense OF proportion and a sense OF
humor."-W. o. Mcclellan.

Omitted Press Sports Editorl

NEW YORK. July l. Omitted
Press) .-wellington Cross, Babe
Ruth's vaudeville partner, recently
told some California friends a
number Of interesting behind tho
scenes" observations about the Swat
King.
Ruth. according to Cross. has a
highly attuned nervous system that
leads him TO relieve himself Of sur
plus activity by spending money. He
has gone through several small
fortunes and has no more idea
about the value Of money than a
high school boy. He was making
$3.50 a week on the Keith circuit
and he spent nearly every cent of it..
His favorite diversion was buying
boxes and boxes Of the most expen-
sive cigars and leaving them in the
hotels behind him.
The great slugger Is a poker fiend
and he Is no home run hitter with
the cards. He is always being taken
and yet is goaded on by the lure that
the next hand will start him back.
He had a terrible time learning
his lines. In that he resembles many
actors. but in two respects. Cross
said ne was entirely different from a
stage performer-he was always on
time for his act and he didn't give
hang whether he got an ovation or
the razz.
Because he is always on time for
an appointment he has no patience
with one who is late in keeping
date for him.
When he was in Washington the
manager OF the theatre arranged an
audience with President Harding.
The President was about ten min
utes late in calling them in from the
waiting room and the BAN didn't
seem TO care that some important
tsty might be demanding the atten-
ton Of the chief executive. He be-
came more and more peeved at the
delay and when they were finally
called into the chamber he was on
crouch.
The President said he was glad
to meet Ruth and Ihat
was quite a sentence, Judge Lands
gave you. It's too bad"
Jaw, 1 don't care. What's the
diff?" the swatter replied.
Cross admits that Ruth thinks a
lot OF himself but he said 1t came
naturally and never was offensive.
From the way Ruth is going he'll
be called in some day TO get his re-
lease. He may not be peeved then II
HE hoee fe hours late calling him
