TWO BILLS TRY
FOR NET TITLE
Third Time Johnston and Tilden
Have Faced Each Other for
National HOnOrs,

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.-William
T. Tilden II of this city and Will
liam NJ. Johnston of San Francisco
meet today on the courts of the
Germantown Cricket club to decide
the national lawn tennis champion
ship of the United States for 1922.
Sole survivors Of 1853 players who
a week ago swung racquets in
quest of the title, they reached the
final round by decisively defeating
opponents of international caliber.
Johnston won from Vincent Rich
ards of Yonkers, Sc, GO, 6-1, and
Tilden eliminated Gerald Patterson
of Australia, 4-6, Ga, 6-3, 6-1.
The meeting Of big and Little
Bill" will be their third clash in
the championship final of a ma
tional tournament. Johnston won
the honor from Tilden in 1919 and
the towering Philadelphia wrest-
ed the title from Johnston a year
later. A careful study of their rec
ords against each other shows an
even closer and more interesting
angle. In tournament plays they
have met 10 times and each has
won five matches. These contests
reduced to sets, shows that Tilden
has won 20 to Johnston's 10.

VILLA ALREADY
PLANS TRIP TO 7
BATTLE WILDE
Bout for FlylDeight
Title to Go to
London.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The August
New York, Sept. 16. = Pancho
Villa, the new flyweight champion
of the United States. is considering
the idea of going to England to
fight Jimmy Wilde for the WORLDS
title, which is held by the little
Briton. 1t was proposed to have
Wilde come over here to fight the
winner of the Buff Villa bout but
the champion smothered that
scheme completely by an emphatic
cable saying he would not cross
the ocean to fight
There are two Impressions
among big promoters Of the me-
tropolis about Wilde's attitude. One
is that he realizes that he is
through as a classy artist. The
other is that his stand on a trip to
this country is merely a feint in the
interest Of pulling bigger hnah-
cial inducement.
Wilde, as a matter of fact, could
get good money for coming here to
fight Villa, but he would not by any
means receive the equivalent OF the
sums of money that England owes
the United States as result OF the
war. Little men, especially men as
diminutive as these fiyweights, are
only fair drawing cards and it is
figured that Buff would have been
more popular figure had he re-
tanned his title than the little Fill

Welcome Novelties.
On the other hand Villa could &c
to London and work up lot Of III
terest. The English fight fan likes
novelties and is bit tired OF the
eternal round of Beckett, Moran
Bloomfield and Ted Lewis and
lesser lights. Wilde is big figure
in the English fighting world, be-
cause he is the only son OF Albion
who holds a worlds title. A title
bout in London or vicinity ought
to be drawing card.
The state boxing commission
which can always be counted on tt
give the sad faced fans a laugh
has suggested that Indian Russell
i is a logical contender for villa:
title and has asked what the lattel
is going to do about giving thu
aborigine a match. Those wis

he laid on Buff during the feT
rounds he lasted.
No one has heard of any rea
bidding for a Miske-Brennan bou
as proposed by the New York ath
letic commission. And as for ;
Miske-Wills fight. that will not b.
arranged in New York for the same
reason that is preventing Dempse.

CUBAN PRESIDENT
CAN'T PAY BILLS
WITH $500 A DAY

Havana, Cuba. Congress IS
turning G. deaf ear to intimations
that the s100-a-day Cuban White
house budget is not commensurate
with the presidential cost of living.
When the 1922-1923 economy bud
get became effective last July the
major domo of the palace took
what he considered to be adequate
steps to reduce grocery and other
bills, but he was forced to an
nounce a deficit at the end OF the
month Of 81, 400. This the president
paid from his own pocket after con-
gress had failed to heed the hint ne
embodied in special message. Far
from bringing additional funds, an
intimation that he might be forced
to leave his ornate temporary resi-
dence for his modest home in
MORO street, brought only express
sions of commentator.

August deficit, the staff Of aides de

idential board. now are taking
