There is no more popular figure
ston. His lack of ostenation, his
willingness to make his money out
of business-he is in bank in San
Francisco-and not out of tennis, his
aloofness from anything that smacks
of self-advertising have long placed
him in the minds of tennis followers
generally as the ideal amateur sports
man.
There was disappointment in the
East and down right Indignation on
the West Coast when little Bill was
removed from the Davis cup singles
in favor of Richards, and later rated at
No. 8, with Richards at No. 2, in
the national ranking.
But these setbacks had at least
one good result; they influenced
Johnston not to retire from tourna-
ment play and to participate in the
important tournaments this year in
an effort to re-establish his prestige
in official quarters.
Johnston would be the last one to
say that the Davis cup committee
and the ranking committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton went out of their way to press
him down in their selections. In
fact, no one could say this justifiably,
for Richards made a better show
ing against Tilden in the all-comers
than did Johnston and Winnie beat
Johnston in the East versus West
matches following the national
championships last year. Richards
also gained prestige in the Olympic
matches.
So, all in all, since those who select
teams for the great international
series and who rank players must
apply cold, hard judgment devoid of
sentiment to their tasks, Richards
preference could hardly be questioned.
But 1925 will be another season, and
with Johnston coming East in excel
lent condition, as he will do, and
conducting himself with judgment as
to how much tennis he shall play,
there is not the slightest reason why
he should not make several thrilling
bids for his old laurels as, at least,
runner up to Tilden.

Those who plan to take part in the
numerous events scheduled are hard

$500 or more of the best athletes
among both the boys and girls of the
