GORE PLAYING IN FINAL
OF VETERANS NET EVENT

PHILADELPHIA, September 10
Albert J. Gore of Washington, will
show his wares on a grandstand
court this afternoon. He will meet
DIR. p. B. Hawk of Philadelphia, in the
final OF the veterans national tennis
championship event which will be put
as preliminary to the all-comers
title class at the big net tourney here.
Gore reached the final yesterday by
defeating Walter Pate of New York,
81, Co. Go, while Hawk. the
playing through champion. won from
+. g. Anderson, New Yorker. 60,
4-6, 60.
Gore played exceptionally well yes

after letting him win the first game
after the Capitalize had led at 5--1.
Hawk. who is the persopification of
steadiness. yesterday dropped the first
set he has lost in two years in the

Johnson displayed the best tennis
he has shown in the tourney in de-
feating Francis T. Hunter, the New
Yorker who previously had upset the
dope twice in defeating Vincent Rich
ards and Robert Kinsey No and
no III the national rating, respec-
lively. Against Johnston's masterful
mental game Hunter was almost
powerless.
Johnston Daffes Hunter.
His weak barkhand continually
was bombarded with an accuracy that
Eelther Richards nor Kinsey could
OBTAIN, and as a consequence the los
ing racketer was either forced into
errors or to make soft returns which
Little Bill turned into placements.
Both Tilden and Johnston made
quick work of their rivals, each of
the matches requiring only fifty-fve
minutes, less time than many of the
sets in previous contests took for
decisions
Their meeting this afternoon will
he the fourth time that Tilden and
Johnston ,,haye- ClaShed in the title
final. Johnston was the winner the
first time, they met, in 1919, but ne
Succumbed to Big Bill in the ultimate
rounds in 1920 and 1922 1t was Til
den, too, that put out Johnston in
1921. but they met that year in the
fourth round, and it was this hap
pening that led the National Tennis
Association to adopt the seeded draw.
A most impressive and a highly
important point in regard to John
ston yesterday was that he appeared
TO have more power in shots than in
his previous matches here, and to be
less tired al the conclusion of the
contest than he had been before.
When on edge physically he can just
about match Tiidens game, but at
the most his tender constitution viii
stand only four sets of top-notch
tennis. and he really begins to falter
after he has gone three in which his
best brand of play is called upon.
Tnden's Strength Tells.
There was no better example of
this than last year. when he took two
of the first three sets from Tilden
and led, 50, in the fourth. Then
his arms and legs practically went
dead on him, and he was helpless
before the relentless attack of his
sturdter rival, and, we might add,
friend. For while the Bills are the
greatest of rivals OH the courts they
are buddies at other times and part
ners in many a game of bridge.
Tilden and Johnston in their
matches yesterday got just the kind
of workouts they needed to tune up
for their engagement today. john
ston tried out all his shots, now and
then mixing a well placed lob in with
his driving and short volleying in
hammer that completely baffied Hunt
lr. In fact Hunters classic forehand
drive was conspicuous by its absence,
about the only time that he was in
uosition to make his best shot being
Evening star., 1923-09-15

when he ran around the ball, as it
is almost supertiuous to state that
Johnston did not put any to that
side of him through intention and
few by mistake.
Tilden did not take off his sweater
in beating Norton. 1t was a natty-
looking piece of apparel too. being
of white with red stripes around the
neck and lower edge. Some one said
his Aunt Betsy knitted it for him,
but Big Bill was not asked as to this.
At any rate, 1t adorned him from the
start to the finish of the match, and
1t Is safe to say that he was not near
so comfortable as was Norton, who
shed his at the outset.
Holds Norton CheapIy.
Norton was credited with making
the statement on Thursday night that
he not only was going to beat Tilden
yesterday, but that he was going to
win the tournament. whether or not
this had anything to do with the
way in which Tflden nonchalantly-
and that is the right word-toyed
with the British South African is a
matter of conjecture, but our one best
bet would be that 1t did.
Had Tilden played in the manner
in which he annihilated Alfonso on
Thursday, 1t Is doubtful whether
Norton could have gotten more than
two or three games. However, Tilden
CHDS6 10 SHO" up HIS TlNdI III dnOIH-
er way He let many shots pass him
that he could have gotten, and in a
great number of games would let
Norton rush into good lead, and
then put on steam and nose him out.
1t was evident to even the greenest
tennis fan that TilduT was making
a monkey" out of his opponent, who
incidentally. shares the national dou-
bles title with him.
Near the close OF the match Norton
ran over to chair and picked up a
brown felt hat, placed ii on his head
and pulled it pretty well down over
his ears. Then some one cruelty re-
marked that his head is not so big
as it was last night: the crowd
roaTed and Norton hastily removed
the top piece. Tilden was so full of
laughter that he double-f faulted.
Johnston to Battle Early.
Safe to say there will be no mon
keyshines" in Tilden's play against
Johnston. Their matches always are
the most businesslike little tennis
affairs. Johnston, knowing the limit
of his physical power, is out to win
in short order, for he realizes it must
be in three or four sets or not at all
and Tilden has to give the very best
he has to combat Little Bills serious
and vigorous efforts.
Rega rdless of who wins this after
noon, the close to Is, 900 fans who are
sure to be on hand will see the best
tennis that it is possible to produce
Both players are geniuses at the
game. but Tflden has fifty more
pounds than Johnston with which &c
support his crafty arm and brain.

What tricks eau a backfeld man
practice that 0ViU make him a diff
fcnlt man to tackle?
Evening star., 1923-09-15

The most important thing for a
back to know, to prevent being
tackled, is how to use the straight
arm jab to push tacklers away. The
back uses this stiff arm with the
open hand, meeting the taekler on
the head or shoulder and at the
same time throwing his legs out and
away from the tackler.
Dodging is another trick that baf-
fes tacklers. The ball carrier feints
going one side of the tackler and
quickly shifts his direction.
Change of pace in the open field
also makes a back hard to tackle.
The runner stops quickly just as the
tackler is making his dive, so that
the latter will misjudge the distance
and sprawl on the ground. All
these tricks require plenty of prac-
tice.

THE FROsTs AWAKENING

One night the frost awoke
From his summer long sleep,
And tonight I'll have my joke
So he set out with lengthening leaps.
He covered the land with his silver;
He peaked in at the farms on his way
And set all the stock shivering,
And frightened the mice in the hay.
He slipped into the cupboard,
And kissed the frui ton the tray;
Then drank from the bucket his fill
Before he hurried away.
The dawn was breaking into day,
When he found his bed in the sky;
And winked and blinked his sleep
away
AS the sun warmed up on high.
