The record of s n championships, first set by Dic back in the late eighties and equalled later by Wil- liam Larned, appeared well within the grasp of Tilden until he ran into Cochet in 1926 and then La- coste in 1927. Cochet turned back Frank Hunter for the singles crown in 1928, Tilden being in of- ficial disfavor as an aftermath of his player-writer row and was ruled out of action. Now, the lanky American is back home after his last big campaign abroad with no more Frenchmen ir sight for the rest of the season. A: a consequence Eig Bill has a royal chance to wade through the field at Forest Hills, starting September 7, to recapture the national titl 1925, Big and equal the Sears-Larned mark.| Should he do so, Tilden automati- cally would clinch the No. 1 rank- ing position on the national list for the tenth time in a row. Despite his ups and downs of recent years, he has never relinquished dominating position at home, though he was re-instated just in| time to be put at the head of the class last February for the ninth | year. In the ten national singles cham- pionships he has tried for since 1918, Tilden has been champion six times, runner-up three times to R. Lindley Murray, Little Bill John- ston and Rene Lacoste, and quar- ter-finalist once, when he bowed to Henri Cochet. Little Bill was Big Bill's victim five times in the national finals and once in the semi-finals, in 1921 when Tilden’s conquest of Wallace Our job shop is as near to you as your telephone.
