GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 16.—Long hailed as the champion of champions, William T. Tilden, the tall Philadelphian, proved it here this afternoon when he defeated William N. Johnston, the little | Californian, in the final round for \the American tennis championship. | ‘With superior strokes, greater |power and more physical resources |at his command, Tilden won the } match in straight sets at 6-4, 6-1, and |6-4 and became the champion for the fourth straight time. It took the great Tilden only 53 minutes to dicpose of the only play- er who has been -held up as an argument against his title as the greatest court star of them all. Tilden not only became the American champion again by down- ing Johnston, but he un-officially annexed a worlds championship. | Johnston previously had won the British championship at Wimbledon |and there had been represented in the present tournament all of the |best players in Europe. |. When Tilden defeated Johnston last, year in the final round and when he had come out the winner in previous matches {t had been heralded as only a physical victory of the bigger and stronger Tilden over the smaller and weaker John- | ston. | Today, however, it was a ‘Tilden TILDEN WINS RACQUET TITLE FOURTH STRAIGHT TIME WITH DEFEAT OF CALIFORNIA STAR who won by superior tennis.

FARRELL. (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—(Unitea Press).—When Johnny Wilson was mauled out from under the middle. weight championship by Harry Greb, expert opinion was more or less vindicated, as the only com- | ment made about Wilson as a cham- pion was that he would During the reign of Mike O'Dowd and Wilson the middleweight class fell into low estate and became al- most poverty-stricken in class. It will hardly improve in the hands of Harry Greb. Greb, unfortunately, inherits a title that Dempsey, Fitzsimmons, Ketchel and others made synomon- up to aid. The new champion is a freak. He cannot hit and he cannot box. De. spite this he has become one of the most invincible fighters in the ring, because he is possessed of remark- able endurance and a crazy style of fighting that no one has been able it any better than Wilson to solve. He is also about the foulest fight- er in the business. He depends more or less on trespassing to the ragged edge of the rules if not in Seuetvantdad. “obs ote pate, open transgression.

He has not lived so that he can take off weight and retain his form, or what form he has. One very good source of argu- ment with old timers is to suggest that the modern brand of champion is as good as the champion of the past decade. Violent words were hurled back and forth recently when Jimmy |Johnston, promoter at the Yankee stadium, caused the old timers to feel deeply insulted when he ex- | Pressed the opinion that Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee were the greatest of all champions at their weights, t Johnston had the Leonard-Dundee fight in the making at the time and jhe might have had a mercenary |} motive in mind when he said that |Leonard was better than Joe Gans ever was and that Dundee had more class than Terry McGovern. These arguments can never be settled. Even some good judges who saw Gans and McGovern tn thelr prime and who have been watching Leonard and Dundee are divided in their opinion. No arguments, however, will be vanced by this generation that Harry Greb is a champion worthy to follow in the footsteps of the old middlewelght champions. Up to re- cent years the middleweight division has always produced great fighters, but now the middleweights are per- haps the worst of all the Poor fight- ers. Jack Dempsey {s hela up as the best of all the present champions and one more in keeping with the prestige of the past, but old timers cannot be convinced that he fs as good as “John 1." was in his day. Dempsey’s record does not compare with some of his predecessors, as he failed to deliver the only time he met a first class opponent. Gos- sip that he did not want to stop Tommy Gibbons and that he had business reasons for holding him up through fifteen rounds will neither be entered on the record books nor passed on to posterity. Dempsey has very iftle chance to get himself on the books even as the best fighter of his day. Had he fought Harry Wills two years ago and stopped him in a short fight he would have had an almost perfect claim to absolute superiority of his class, but if he does meet and knock Wills out it will always be said that he defeated the big negro when he was past his prime. In comparing past and present- day fighters it must be remembered that times have changed. Commer- cial motives now ‘actuate all the fighters, where once there was some glory in the name of a champion to inspire a fighter. The main {dea now fs to get the money. Plenty of cash and a life of ease after they have finished in the ring perhaps ts more to be desired than a lot of talk about thelr glori- ous deeds after they have passed out. As long as Dempsey, Leonard and the other big financiers of the game do not have to work for a living and as long as they can live ike dukes, they do not care to get peeved when they are called ham champions in comparison to thelr predecessors Send your automobile news to “Spark Plug."—Care Tribune. | Press)—The league leading Yankees | (GARDNER LEADS BIG FIELD WITH PAR 74 IN PLAY AT FLOSSMOOR Bobby Jones and Chick Evans Round Course in National Amateur Golf Tourney With Scores of 75; Others Are Low. BY EDWARD C. DERR, - (United Press Staff Correspondent) FLOSSMOOR COUNTRY CLUB, Chicago, Sept. 15.— Class asserted itself today in the cpening round of the Na- tional Amateur Golf championship. None but recognized stars found a position with the leaders for low score and only a few of the champions failed to turn in cards of eighty or better. Robert A. Gardner, former title, holder, played golf as it has seldom been played before to finish his) string at the home hole with a total! of 74—Jjust par, | Bobby Jones, Atlanta, Ga. who! won the crown of national open’ champion early this season, proved, to the gal'erfes that he had arrived to real championship form by bring-| 84 ing home a score of 75. Chick Evans, only golfer who has! held the national amateur and open titles simultaneously, equalled the! young Georgian's mark of 75. | S. D. Herron, Rudolph Knepper, Willie Hunter and James Manion— all known as serious contenders in any meet they enter—passed over) the difficult course in better than 80. Jesse Sweetser, defender of the title, and Francis Oufmet, an inter-! national star, turned in cards of} eighty flat. Jesse Guilford proved) the most disappointing among the} group of champions. His score of} 83 almost certainly will keep him} out of the magic circle of 32 quali- fiers unless he plays super-golf in the second round on Monday. Gardner and Evans, always great golfers but sometimes rather slov- enly in their play, delighted the gal- leries with their shots, which today were sometimes spectacular but al- ways considerably good. Bobby Jones, who has been a con- tender in every big tournament since he wore knee trousers, drew a) large gallery as he sallied forth to attempt to duplicate Evans’ record of both major titles in one year, He rewarded his followers with superb golf. Anyone finishing the 36 holes Mon- day night with better than 163 is almost certain to land among the 32 who will start match play Tuesday, followers of the game agreed. Scores: R. A.
