ards winning of the Olympic singles
and doubles titles and his crushing
defeat of Johnston in the East-West
matches not to mention his triumphs
over Gerald Patterson and OHara
Wood in the Davis Cup matches and
il may be realized how closely he is
approaching Tilden in point Of skill
Were Richards to wrest the singles
cha mpionship from Tilden within the
next two or three years that would
do much to heighten interest all over
the country. for it is the young
blood" in any sport that tends to keep
that sport alive.
No Change Is Likely.
The outlook in the Davis Cup
matches. however shows no signs OF
change in the next several years.
Tlden. Richards. Johnston. Williams
and Kinsey simply outclass all other
teams in the international series, and
there are apparently no players COM
ing on among the challenging nations
who show sufficient promise Of de-
throning the United States. 1t is only
the finest sporting spirit that has in.
duced the other nations to keep on
entering in a hopeless quest.
Australia, which has been the CHIEF
contender and runner-up for the team
honors for several years. after de-
featfnE France in the final round at
Longwood this year. went down to a
crushing defeat at the hands Of the
United States in the challenge round
at Germantown
Patterson frankly admitted before
the challenge round was played that
no nation had chance of winning the
cup as long as Tilden and Johnston
continued to hold their form, and that
was before he knew that Richards
would take Johnston's place in the
singles.
1t would be an excellent thing for
the game all over the world If one Of
the other nations could break the long
domination of the United States and
carry the cup overseas, but none of
the contenders looks even dangerous
a this writing.

Two causes contribut ed 10 this The
tional champion. and the second was
the American Davis Cup team-Tilden.
Richards. Little BilI' Johnston and
Howard kinsey. captained by Richard
Norris Williams. Cd. Tilden was too
good individually. and our defending
Davis Cup team was also suffering
from the same complaint
When any one person or any one
country becomes Overwhelmingly su-
perior to all opposition in any line of
sport, it follows as natural sequence
that interest in that sport lapses.
This has been demonstrated so often
that it needs no further proof here.
Tilden has been supreme individually
IN the game the world over for the
last five years, as has America in the
Davis Cup series, and the continual
repetition of crowning Big Bilr' sin

But the possibility of Goslin as a
long-distance hitter however, does
not rest solely on his three world
series homers of 1924 He pasted
out II circuit smashes during the
season. OF course. that was long
distance removed from Ruth's 50. Hut
II must be remembered that Ruth did
not count his homers by the ito
score in his early days.
Soslin must be reclluned upon as
dan gerous with the stick II he pre-
serves his skill and condition. He
has earning capacity as n batter tor
at least six years under normal con
d1tions in base ball and for him TO
tie Ruth's record in his first world
series is certainly glory enough for
starter.
Another fact about GoslIns work
IN 1924 was his ability to score
Don't overlook the fact that he made
199 runs. Anybody who can bat be-
low the top in the batting order and
score 1919 runs is good ball player
Of course. he must have help to do
that. but. first of all. he must get on
