FORREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug.
27-Clear skies and bright warm
sun brought ideal conditions for
play in, the national singles tennis
championship at the west side ten
mis- club here this afternoon. The
courts were in splendid condition
after the heavy rain.
Officials Of the tournament de-
cided to carry the finals over until
Tuesday instead of Monday rather
than make the attempt to catch up
on the round lost yesterday by post
ponement. 1t was folt that some of
the star players, who have been
printing themselves for a crack at
Bill Tilden s title might go stale
with only one day S lay-off and
shat over-work in the early rounds
might throw them off their game.
The matches that were called off
late Monday because of a storm and
the second round matches postpon-
ed yesterday will be played today
William Is Dark Horse
The feature match on this after
noon program VIII be that or Blll
Tilden, the national title holder
versus Manuel Alonzo, the Spanish
star. 1t is rather stiff opener
for Tilden and is equally hard on
Alonzo who is forced to meet the
outstanding player in the tourna
ment without a chance to warm up
against easy opponents.
Tilden probably will win, although
Alonzo is the only player who has
beaten him in the last two years
The champion will then have to
beat Lucien Williams, Chicago, the
former intercollegiate champion
from Yale. Williams has been com
ing fast and is regarded as one of
the dark horses in the tournament.
