New-York tribune., 1922-03-28

Inc draw for tho doubles was made
late in the afternoon, with eighteen
teams in the list. William r. Tilden
Cd, of Philadelphia, worlds singles
champion, will pair off with little A. l..
Wiener, the fourteen -year-old boy from
Germantown Academy. Philadelphia,
whom he is schooling to be a future
champion OF the courts.
Tilden and his prodigy partner were
on the courts Yesterday, getting in a
little practice. and Of course. the
youngster attracted a lot OF attention
among the spectators. A remarkable
thing about this latest find" as
viewed his play yesterday, was the ex-
cellcnt form in which he executed sil
his strokes. 1t is easy to sec the hand
Of the master. Tilden, in the way the
boy hits the ball, and for one of his
tender years, his skill in this degree
is little short of unbelievable.
Naturally, young Wiener has not vet
!; acquired the tennis tactics that should
come TO him later, under Tildcns
tutelage. He is often caught out of
position and has not the knack of
anticipating an opponents next move
but these things he is bound TO ac-
qulre with experience. In the moan
time, when he gets his racquet suuarely
on the ball, the boy acquits himself
splendidly. 1t will be interesting to
watch his future progress.
