Richards Sees Tilden as Sure
To Annex National Net HOnOrs

lenge round at Paris, pick him to win
at Forest Hills in the forty -eighth an
nual championship.
The man whom Big Bill has to fear
the most is George Lott of Chicago.
George has the game TO beat I1lden II
any one in the tourney has and II he Is
right look to see him put up great
battle. At Newport Lott carried TIL
den to five sets, and Tilden wasn't play
ing with him. Any one who can make
that kind of showing against Big Bill
must be given a serious chance OF win
ming. But one never knows just what
to expect of Lott and for that reason
pick Big Bill.
Frank Hunter is in the running and
has a chance but not as good as Lott.
John Van Ryn, John Doeg, Gregory
Mangin, Berkeley Bell and Fritz Mer-
cur also are first-class players and may
make trouble for any man in the tour
ney. In spite Of the absence OF the
French the championship should be
one of the most interesting in years, for
Tilden does not tower over the rest OF
the field as he used to.
Tilden Anxious TO Score.
I look for Big Bill to make his SUI
preme effort of all in the forthcoming
tournament. It will be remembered
that last year Tilden was barred from
competing for the title after being sus-
pended for his newspaper writings at
Wimbledon. That was the first time In
more than 10 years that the tall Phila-
delphian failed to take part in the
championship and in his absence, his
doubles partner. Frank Hunter. stole
the honors of the week, coming through
to the final, in which he carried Cochet
to five sets. :.
Tilden, back in the arena again. will
be all the keener to make q good show
ing and then he has announced that
this is the last year of international
tennis and it would make him all the
greater figure II he ended the year In
possession again of the title that ne
held from 1920 through 1875.
The tournament, which will end next
Saturday, will mark the climax OF the
amateur season, but tennis fans In New
York will have another opportunity To
see some high-class competition begin

With Jones Out, CrosOds
AT Golf Tourney DtOindle
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Septem-
Der 7.-Harrison Johnston OF st.
Paul was q slight favorite to defeat
the stubborn DR.. o. +. Willing as the
national amateur golf championship
went into the final rounds here.
Willing is man who makes Few
mistakes on q golf course. When he
is beaten it takes superlative golf to
accomplish the task. His style is un-
pleasing, but his form Is effective
and In the last analysis that is the
real test of golfer.
Bobby Jones still is golf in Amer
lea. Not only is he the greatest
player in the world, but the magnet
that pulls footsore spectators around
the green fairways.
When the amateur tournament
opened here Monday. it promised to
establish q new record for golf at
tendance, but the moment Jones
was hurled from the battle by the
shining blades of Johnny Goodman,
interest began to decline. Less than
1000 followed the semi-final matches
and the climatic duel between
Johnston and Willing today was not
expected to draw many more. Had
Jones gone into the finals the at
tendance would surely have exceeded
$4,000.

Possibly the time is at hand for the press to syS-
