player and he gives a good show. He
has entertained and thrilled thousands
on the tennis courts all over the world.
They say he has done much for tennis.

Mr.. Tilden has been responsible Tor
many of these little tennis tempeStS
and constantly has been annoying tne
solicitous gentlemen. who have peen
endeavoring most earnestly 10 goe
amateur lawn tennis the appearance
of being the most ethical of the Sports.
There was first the controversy over
Mr.. Tilden's journalistic work. Inc
United States Lawn Tennis Association
set down the dictum that an amateur
tennis player must not profit drectiy
or indirectly through participation IN
the Super-amateur game OF lawn tennis
Mr.. Tilden protested that he was a
writer by profession and a tennis player
for the love of the sport. In Wnos
Who, Mr.. Tilden is classed as an author,
but a list of his literary works shows
that he started writing just at the
time he first became the mems singles
champion. This, of course, may nave
been pure coincidence.
Naturally a championship tennis
player must have trade or pro-
feSsion, unless he has an indie
pendent income, and Mr.. Tildenis
position seemed logical enough.
But the United States Lawn Tennis
Association seem to low rate Mr..
Tilden's literary ability to Such an
entent that they felt that, If he were
player in the world, there would pc
no great demand for his literary
work.
A compromise was reached. It was
agreed that Mr.. Tilden might write
concerning tennis as much as he
pleased so long as he did not write
accounts of the tournaments in which
he participated. Mr.. Tilden signed this
agreement with obvious reluctance, but
he signed 1t.
A little later Mr.. Tilden, preparing
to take part in an attempt to retrieve
the Davis Cup, broke the rule openly.
He was withdrawn from the Davis Cup
team Whereupon the French, who
were handling the tournament, seeing
a possible falling off in the gate re-
ceipts, started to storm. They appealed
to Ambassador Herrick, who appealed
to the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, and Tilden was restored
to the American Davis Cup team. The
Americans did not recover the Davis
Cup, but the gate receipts were very
satisfactory.
Contrast this amateur discipline with
the professional discipline of Base Ball

In Good Again.
TN ADVANCE of the last Davis Cup
| matches, William Tilden, I'd, de-
clared that he was through with Davis
Cup competition. He insisted that he
would attend the matches in the role
of reporter, since, If he competed, he
could not report. and he had his bread
and butter and the rest of 1t to con-
slider.
But lust before the Davis Cup matches
we're held in France, Mr.. Tilden staged
what the boys call comeback. Playing
as brilliant tennis as he ever played
he beat Jean Borotra at Wimbledon.
Rene Lacoste was out of Davis Cup
competition for the year. The younger
American players were performing
wonderfully well.
It began to appear that the Ameri-
cans might have a chance to recover
the cup provided Mr.. Tilden played.
and played as he played at Wimbledon.
But Mr.. Tilden had sworn that he was
through with Davis Cup play. He felt
that he had been badly treated by the
United States Lawn Tennis Association,
and the association. on the other hand,
felt that it had been annoyed sufficiently
by Tilden.
But with the chance of the Davis Cup
being brought back, the U. S. L. T. A.
swallowed pride until it choked and
pleaded with Mr.. Tilden to reconsider
the determination not to play. They
waved the Star Spangled Banner and
appealed to his patriotism. For a while
Mr.. Tilden was obdurate, but he event.
ually permitted himself to be persuaded.
The American team did not bring
back the cup. The pride-swallowing
only choked the American tennis Of
ffcials. William Tilden, I'd, must
have laughed sardonically in the sleeve
Of his sweater The u. S. L. T. A. re-
vealed the fact that nothing mattered
excepting the cup. Mr.. Tilden made the
gentlemen who took it upon themselves
to discipline him and regulate his &C
tivities sit up and beg.
The Dramatic Entrance.
A T the last minute Mr.. Tilden, who
n loves the dramatic entrance. de-
cided that he would like to play IN
the tournament at Southampton. The
program had been arranged and ap-
parently there was no place in 1t for
William Tilden, I'd, the ranking
American player. If there was a place,
of course, Mr.. Tilden would be permit
ted to play.

FEATS IN TWO BIG
JOURNEYS DECIDE
Finishing Next to Jones in
British and U. S. Opens
Insure Top Place.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

0HICAGO, August 12.-Mac-
Donald Smith is certain to
N be ranked the foremost
= professional golfer of the
year when the final returns are
made. The veteran Scot assured
himself of that honor when he
finished second to Bob Jones IN
both the United States and Brit
iSh opens, for it is upon national
championships that rankings
must be based, with performances
in minor events taken only as
supplementary evidence OF skill
and greatness.
That the national opens are the
primary test of a golfers skill Is proven
by the wide difference in the play OF
some of our best shot makers IN may
and minor tournaments. Although the
immediate monetary reward may De
much greater in some OF the sectlonal
or Winter tournaments, the players
labor under less strain and the scoring
of the field is much lower. The mental
strain in a national championship can
not be overrated. as players reaction
to it is the real test of his ability.
Displays His Grit.
Mac Smith survived the mental strain
in the two national opens better than
any of those who chased Bob Jones to
the finish line. His 20 on the maj
round at Interlachen was great bit OF
golf, for he realized that the task OF
picking up seven shots on Jones IN 10
holes was an almost superhuman task.
Yet he chung grimly to the work and
made up all but two. Too much praise
cannot be paid the veteran Carnoustie
man fol his play at Interlachen. and
It was one of the GROWING achieve
ments of a long and brilliant career.
But Smith has played consistently
we'll in most of the other champion
ships of the year. He was one OF the
stars of the Winter season; peE1ormed1
notably in the Canadian open and
events around New York. Mac may
never win a national open, for he is
getting along in years, but he has been
good enough over long period to have
captured several WIN an ordinary
break in luck and deserves place
among the great professionals of all
time It will be many years before we
see another with so perfectly grooved
q swing as that of Smith, or one with
more courage.
The tussle for second place among
the professionals still is open and likely
will not be decided until after P. @. A.
championship. Horton Smith and Leo
Diegel might be said to hold the adj
vantage at the moment. Leo tied for
second place in the British open and
Horton was third at both Hoylake and
Interlachen. If Diegel retains his P.
G. A. title he unquestionably will rank
next to Mac Smith. But If the Joplin
Pine" should win in the P. q. A. his
performances in the two national opens
along the Winter trail would place him
next to Mac and make the season
entirely a Smith-Jones affair.

playing for heavy money this week

Take Bill Mehlhorn, a long hitter.
Bill drives from a wide stance. 1t
gives him better purchase. But
when he pitches his stance Is much
narrower and it's also open. The
reasons are clear. The iron shots
are more compact. That is, the
arms are closer to the body. An
open stance permits that. AS the
irons are for direction, rather than
length, no need arises for the wider
and more bracing stance.

Watch your stance? 1t means so
much to start anything right. This
old axiom applies to golf. Ever
notice how the majority Of stars
change theirs when they leave the
tee and have a pitch to play? Usually
they drive with square stance, toes
parallel to the line they are to
wallop the ball.
But when they play the pitch up
to the green they open the stance.
That is, the left foot Is drawn far
ther away from the direction line
than the right. Usually, too, their
feet are brought closer together.
Jones almost makes his heels touch
