Tho little Californian won his way

FANS FOR WINNIE"
With over 10000 tennis fans in the
Forest Hills amphitheatcr for the biz
moment. big Bill" and Little Vim
mic" took the court. Tildcn has won
the crown five years in succcsSloh'
and now that he has Johnston to face
in the finals, it is probable he Will
make it six in n row. 1t is almost
conceded in advance that the wizard
Of the court can beat the little veteran
from California. He always has, ever
since he won the title in 1920.
Big Bill" defeated Little Bill" IN
five national finals, and in one ma.
tional scmi-final. Johnston defeated
Tildcn in 1919 for the national cham
pionship. but since that date no rae,
quet wiclder has seriously threatened
the supremacy of the present title
holder except winnie" Richards.
BIGGEST HURDLE.
Thus it was that Big Bill" found
himself faced with his biggest hurdle
in his race for a sixth successive
crown in this scmi-final match against
Richards. The big fellow with the
black hair taught the little lad with
the blonde hair how to play tennis.
And he taught him we'll. Before the
match today it was thought that Til
den had taught him too well, that the
pupil would beat the master and that
flaming youth would beat mastery
middle-age.
The crowd was with the Yonkers
youth. Apparently he had 10000
people with him, but he had Tilden
against him and his lone opponent car
