Of August %
The crest OF the tide will be reached

at Forest Hills with Tilden seeking to
regain the crown that Cochet knocked
off and LaCoste picked up in last

L. s. Women Favored.
Slanting at prospects from this
point of view, the United States ap-
pears to have better chance Of sue
cessfully repelling the women's in
vasion than 1t has the mems.
This is chiefly for the reason that
in Miss Wills, America has the star
generally recognized here and abroad
as the successor to the world title
that Suzanne Lenglen held for so
many years.
The 21-year-old California girl. in
her triumph at Wimbledon, has al
ready shown her mastery over most Of

rivals in the Wightman cup as well

but critics are unanimous in their eX.
pectation that Miss Wills will regain
the title she was forced TO default
last year.
Tilden and Johnston have written
Americas most brilliant tennis history.
They still are a formidable pair. vet
Grams though they may be, but the
conviction has grown that they cannot
much longer repel Frances threat of
greater youth as well as perhaps
equal skill.
Together Tilden and Johnston won
three out Of four singles matches in
the Davis Cup challenge round last
year. enough to clinch the defense of
tn famous trophy. They may do so
again this year. with Tilden aiming at
a comeback and Johnston conserving
his stamina for the big battle, but the
odds will be less pronounced in their
favor.
Good Against Frenchmen.
Johnston always has been a Meme
sis to the F'renChmen, but Tilden has
had to give and take in his jousts
with them.
In a five-match series. such as the
| Davis Cup challenge round, America $
veterans may uncork enough stuff to
again check the French thrust, but il
/ win be more difficult for either Tilden
or Johnston 10 wade successfully
through the week Of national cham
pionship singles competition after
ward. Johnston, with his limited
store of stamina. finds it especially diff
ficult TO maintain top form in sue
cession Of keen matches.
Tilden, eager to regain his crown,
will be the main American hope in
the nationals, but even Big Bill's" re.
sources will be severely taxed. On
any one day he may be capable of dis
posing of any of Frances stars-Co-
chet, Lacoste or Borotra-but it would
take the Tilden of his super-days, in
all probability. to turn back their COM
bined attack.

SO far of the administration to work

While President Coolidge is hope
full that some way. may yet be de-
vised to obviate the two months
waiting. definite assurance was
given yesterday that the payments
could he made in July.
1t was recalled that until recently
pension payments were made on a
three months basis.
