Tilden to Star With '.Doug?"
There was a persistent rumor about
the corridors Of the Official hea6quar-
fers at the Eellevue-Stratford to-day
that Tilden is going into the movies.
Along with Jack Dempsey. Doug" Fair
banks, Charley Chaplin and other
celebrities, it is reported {hat the
champion is to become a screen star.
Tilden himself coald not be reached
to-night to deny or confirm the rumor.
On what seems reliable auth GRITTY.
wS.owever, understand he has already
81 igned contract with De Mile and is
q repaired to start on his new venture
gsanext month. Whether this is true, and,
ss9lf it is, just what attitude the United
. States Lawn Tennis Association will
Eftake in the matter remain to be seen.
Tiidens Scenario" of course, would be
built around his most prominent char
1 setegistic--lawn tennis.
Every match tomorrow should de-
selop into veritable survival of the
fttest, and it is not easy to make any
thing like an accurate forecast OF the
results.
In the top bracket William Nj, John
ston and Howard Kinsey, both Cali
fornians, will be the rivals, and John
ston, with his perfect stroking and
great court generalship, should GER
tainly overcome Kinsey, clever and re-
soureeful player though the latter has
proved himself
Watson Washburn, of New York,
member of last years Davis Cup team,
will be called upon to tame a real tor
nado of speed and dynamic hitting if he
hopes to conquer Manuel Alonzo, the
Spanish basque. In erwhelmlng S.
Howard Voshell, of New York, yester-
day, Senor Alonzo played impressive,
sensational tennis. I expect to see tins
Spaniard win here, for it will need a
Wasbburn at the latter's best TO handle
Aion2o's fiery attack, and Washburn
has not been, in form this season.
Richards May Have Hands Full
Vincent Richards will meet the hard
hitting Herbert L. Bowman, of New
York. in the next match, and he must
win If only to Justify his remarkable
record on American courts. Richards
will undoubtedly bring his wizardry at
vclleying into play to turn Bowman
back, but he canot afford to take things
easily, for Bowman never comedies
point and is at the top of his game
right now.
There may be a surprise in the
match between Robert Kinsey and J.
@. Anderson, of Australia. At his best,
s Anderson is without doubt better
man than the slender Californian, but
iofrnances at Germantown so far, and
s. kinsey's soft sliced shots and his great
accuracy may prove stumbling blocks
for anderson. The Australians speed,
howsver, and his great forehand drive
ought to pull him through, after
keen struggle.
.Tilden. the playing through cham
plon, will have to eliminate Pat O'Hara
Wood. Of Australia, and all signs point

hazard guess as to how quickly the
champion will win in any match is fool

Prise me to see this macth go the limit
o. i've sets Wood has about every
sennls attribute of genius that Tilden
possesses, barring speed and endur-
snce.
zenzo Shimizu, of japan, and Wal

much IN doubt as to the result to say
more than that incline bit to john

suahsons chop and his trap shots
vsusat 70 aid him considerably against
sas marvellous court covering of the
ssapanese, but to win Wallace will have

Nofris Williams, of Longwood, twice
hoioer Of the national honors, ought
20 20 win handily from Elliott Binzen, of
wsW York, yet it would not be sur
ps'sing to see Binzen carry the issue
20 extra sets. Williams's type of game
saAs sahlaAs erratic streaks, and Binzen, a,
s.s4er user Of chop and slice, has been
a0lng splendidly here.
