NEED
ONLY One MATCH
TORETAIN TROPHY
Anzacs Must Beat Both
Bills in Singles 1
To Win.
By wEsrBRooK PEoLER

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Ameri-
can Bills. Big Bill Tilden. OF Phila-
delphia. and Little BIZ Johnston. Of
California. are now made response
BILE for the further retention Of the
big silver bowl and platter, scrib-
bled over with famous tennis names.
known as the Davis Cup, the great
est trophy in sport
II the little fellow from the West
Coast can take his match from Ger
aid Patterson, captain Of the Aus
traIisn challenge group which is to
be the first match tomorrow after
noon, the other one between Tilden
and James o. Anderxon will be a
mere exhibition. II Little Bill
should fail however. the whole re-
sponsibility will finally devolve
upon Tilden. putting it up to him
to defeat Anderson il the cup is to
remain in America.
Assuming that the honor of inal-
ly defending the cup does fail TO
Tflden, there IL more than his mar
velous strength and his mastery
tennis technique upon which to ba Sc
the hopes Of the large tennis
minded element of the United
States. which now faces East and
thumps its forehead on the turf In
the direction of Forest Hills.
Tilden has proved many times
that he has the. heart of a hghtIng
sportsman, what they call a money.
player in baseball-but he never
proved II more strikingly than in
his match with ZenZo Shimidzu last
he urff
strokes of losing his match. Shin
idzu had astonished himself and
Tilden and a crowd of nice people
by taking the first two sets. So.
IS and he had won five games OF
the third set and had almost won
the sixth game when Tilden pulled
himself together.
The Tilden came along from behind
with a rush that made the japanese
gamester limp; he won the third set.
IS and the fourth. 6-2. and over
whelmed the Jap in the final set.
81.
There is no disposition to lament
the choice OF young Vincent Richards
as one OF the co-defenders Of the cup
and his employment IN such disastrous
doubles In which Patterson and Wood
cleanly and rather easily defeated the
Americans. Richards. although he is
known as a boy wonder. clearly earned
his position as third man in the ma
tIonal ranking and just as clearly
earned his place in team in the early
summer trials which were watched
and judged by the Davis Cup COM
mittee with the unfeelinG impa rtiality
of some Industrial sorting machine.
Furthermore Tilden and his former
pupil work together better than any
other combination that was possible in
the American team. and had proved
their worth against these same chal-
lengers by defeating them in
doubles match last week at Long
wood. Boston. Richards clearly was
not playing up to championship stand
ard. but neither was Tilden.
As the Americans have already won
two singles matches and the Aus
tralians have won only the one doubles
match. the defenders need only one
more victory in two matches to win
the cup for another year. II Aus
tralia is to gain the cup both Pat
terson and Anderson must win their
matches. and II they can win two in
the same afternoon from the two
Bills their glory will be something
/ to compare with Pershing's II
would make them quite a little
/ reputation.

cided to rest to save up their
energies for the heavy week on be-

emily gone stale, needed the days
rest badly and he should be in a
much better medal play frame of
mind by Monday afternoon. Ouimet
and Jones both decided they had
enough golf for the time being and
the offday was a welcome epoch.
Only Eight Have Chance.
While anything can. happen in
golf there is a general belief that
only six or eight from this field
have a chance to win. On the
American side. the most dangerous
are Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet,
Chick Evans. Jesse Guilford, Bob
Gardner and Jesse Sweetser.
.ouimet's chance depends largely
upon his stamina over the con-
tinued 36-hole route. He Is now
down to 143 pounds and the long
grind ahead is as much a test of
physical endurance as II Is of golf
ing skill. The pressure falls with
terrific force after Wednesdays
play and the last three days may
find youth in the saddle. Guilford,
Gardner, Jones and Sweetser are
among those best qualified to meet
the grind.
On the British side the two most
dangerous match-play figures seem
to be Tolley and Hunter: but Hunter
is too far out on the ragged edge
now to be figured safely in. II
Tolley picks up these smothering
rounds he had at the national he
will be unbeatable. He is at his
best In match play golf. and the
same 10 true of Hunter. one of the
most indomitable of them all. Tor
rance II playing extremely well and
SO IL Ayimer. while Hooman showed
what he could do In his match
against Sweetser last week.
The most dangerous of all the
outside OF Bobby Jones,
Is Jesse Sweetser. the 20-year-old
Yale star from New York; He Is
getting terrific distance from the
tee and is usually straight down
the middle. winning factor over
this course. Only extremely fine
golf will beat him as he Is now
at his best. a much better golfer
than he was . year ago when he
carried Chick Evans to the thirty
sixth at green at st. Louis.

Washington, Aug. ia plan for
adjustment of the railroad strike is
understood to have been worked out
here at a lengthy conference today
between the heads of the sixteen
standard railroad unions.
1t will be taken to New York this
afternoon by Chiefs Of the four
brotherhoods and presented to the
railway executives in tOmorrow's
JOINT conference at 81 Broadway.
The brotherhood chiefs planned to
leave Washington at o'clock this
afternoon for New York. Leaders
of the six striking shop craft I'M
ions will follow on a night train so
as to be in the vicinity tomor-
rows joint conference.
Plans Secret.
Whatever the plan agreed upon,
It was a closely guarded secret
Union leaders declined to discuss
1t, some asserting they were taking
no proposals to New York. When
il was pointed out that one of the
conditions on which the executives
agreed to meet them was, that some
proposals should be advanced, the
union leaders merely shook their
heads and refused to talk.
There is reason, however, that to-
mcrrow's discussion vii hinge about
the original proposition advanced
scme weeks ago of dividing senior
ity into three classes:
% Old men to rank first, (2)-
returned strikers to rank second,
and (3)-neW men to rank accord
ing to their length of service, the
question of whether the strikers
will have first place TO be left to
an impartial tribunal.
1t is known that a majority OF
the executives would be willing to
accept such program, although
some of the die hards' would op.
pose it.
While union leaders publicly were
adamant in declaring that there
would be mo yielding" on the sen.
iority issue, it was nevertheless re-
garded by one union leader:
Remember every strike is set
tied by men getting around a table
and everybody giving little"
Washingto,, Aug, 16.-TIopes for
a settlement OF the railway strike
by mutual agreement between the
railroad executives and the strikers
themselves were running high in
Washington today as President
Harding began the preparation of a
message to Congress dealing with
tie grave situation.
Officials Of the four powerful
brotherhoods will meet the railway
executives in New York tomorrow

how serious tho situation is, and

MONSTER STILL IS
FOUND IN COUNTY;
NO ONE ARRESTED
Officers Locate One Having
Capacity Of 40 Gallons.

A monster still, believed to be
the biggest ever seized in Berkeley
county, was located about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon by Federal
Prohibition Officers Bowers, Rink
err and Derr, State Prohibition Off
Ger II. r. Stotler and Deputy Sher-
if Joseph Lloyd, hidden in the
Ganotown section of the county, a
short distance on the east side OF
Back Creek.
The stills capacity is approx
mated at forty gallons and with It
were captured about 200 gallons of
rye mash The outfit was com-
plete one and gave indications OF
having belonged to some moonshin-
er who was no embryonic at the
manufacturing of liquor.
No arrests have as yet been
made as the officers do not know
to whom the still belongs or whose
property it was located on. Ar
rests, it was said today, may fol-
low within the next few days.
