"A Ghost of the Past,

T LOOKED back II years to the day
that Tilden beat little Bill Johnston
at Forest Hills for the national title
I recalled the Tilden that was in
vincible in America, England and
Australia at every start from 1920 to
1927. There was only ghost at work
in this last start. The technique was
there. There were flashes of the old
skill. But the beckoning years had
called him from the court long ago
and Bill he'd never got the message.
You could sense his determination
even his desperation. But when l saw
the shining lights fall upon that bald
spot on his dome, I could read the
answer in advance He had nothing
left Of his old-tine speed. He covered
little ground. He would follow up a
fine shot by simple error. There was
neither speed nor coordination left
against an opponent at his peak
For Perry played championship ten
mis- in this match. He had everything
it takes-speed, control, confidence
and skill He overpoWered the man
once known as the greatest tennis
player that ever lived 1t was hardly
a contest After losing the third set,
Perry came back to smother TIden,
Go, in the fourth frame while an
old. bewildered. bald-headed fellow
stood around, dazed, without chance

DRIVE GONE FROM
AGING TENNIS STAR
Master of Other Years Has
, No Chance Against Fast
Game Fred Plays.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.


n YEW YORK, March 25.-The
n golden era of sports is over.
u There was a time when the
a world Of competition looked
for its thrills to Babe Ruth, Jack
Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen
and Bill Tilden.
Bill Tilden, the lone survivor of
this golden era, last night went the
way of all flesh in his match against
Fred Perry at Madison Square Gar
den, where 10000 spectators saw Big
Bill outclassed by the faster, younger
Englishman, playing against the
ghost of tennis greatness.
Perry won the first two sets in a
third set, "a. Then Perry took COM
plete command again against a leg
weary Tilden, who mixed up bril-
liancy and second-class play through
out the evening, and won the fourth
set, 60.
After more than 20 years of hard
competition, Tilden was only a shad-
ow of the Big Bill We used to know
He had nothing of his old-time speed
Here and there he produced strokes
that had the big crowd cheering
but he could never hook these fine
shots up. He would follow brilliant
charge by bad lapse. He dropped
from greatness to mediocrity in less
than 10 seconds. He not only was
battling Fred Perry, one of the best
of all time; Bill also was battling the
years that crowded in upon him. He
never had chance against younger,
faster, stronger opponent who had
the leash at hand from start to finish

Tiiden Had the Crowd.

EOR one of the few times in his
career Tilden had the crowd with
him. This crowd cheered every good
stroke But it had few chances to start
any real uproar. For Big Bill, between
Fred Perry and the croWding years,
was far away from the cid trail-far
off the reservation.
He had only few flashes left from
the Tilden We used to know Here and
there-at rare intervalS-We all got

Tilden of is years ago, when Dempsey,
Ruth, Hagen and Bobby Jones were
in their prime. But there was little
chance to keep up the applause. as
