SPORTS. YOUTH DOWNS CHAMPION IN RHODE ISLAND EVENT ROVIDENCE, R. I, July 23—Vincent Richards, the cighteen-year old New Yorker, rose to the greatest height of his meteoric career today by defeating World Champion William T. Tilden, 2d, in the final of the state tennis singles championshi, 6—2, 0—1, 2—6 and 6—0. It T Baltimore Regatta Honors Earned by Washington Canoce Club ‘With 8-Point Margin. BALTIMORE, July 23.—Not satisfied with having the Potomac Boat Club capture the asouthern regatta last week, Washington this afternoon sent, :as Richards’ fifth tournament victory in sfccession and Tildeu\‘s first efeat in a year. The big gallery present was so con- fident that Tilden would win that after the third set when the score stood two to one in favor of Richards, bets were placed at_three to one on Tilden. The New Yorker astounded the spectators, however, by outplaying the champion.to such an extent in the urth set that he never even had a chance to get started. Loser Is Off Form. \ While the loser was obviously off form and got the worst of the breaks, Richards showed the almost unbeat- able brand of tennis that overwheimed ‘W. Norris Willlams of Boston in the semi-final the day before. The young- ster's well rounded game wa: coupled with a variety of strokes, a magnificent service that threw Tilden completely off his stroke and a steadi- ness that was beautiful to watch. ‘Where he shone particularly, how- gver, was at the net, advancing almost invariably at the psychological mo- ment.and passing Tilden on a clever cross fire. His recovery of apparently unreturnable balls was so remarkable that he time and again caught the older man off guard. He also leaped high in the air in mid-court for many krills, and half-volleyed faultlessly. Tilden purposely batted away the S slovak Spain in the first round and Australia and Canada are now playing a match in’ that bracket. England will play the winner of the Canada-Australia atch at Pittsburgh August 4, 5 and 6. The victor in this clash will meet Denmark in the semi-finals at Cleve- land August 11, 12 13, the Danes having drawn a by the first round last garhe In the first set when Richards had five games to his credit, not caring to tire himself by trying to retrieve at such a hopeless stage. The fast pace winded Tilden by the middle of the second set, and he was also forced to concede it to his op- ponent. Tilden won the third set so impressively that the gallery thought he had not really extended himself before. Richards proved by his work in the last set, however, that he had merely been taking things easy in the third set, and events vindicated his judgment. Japanese Are Defeated. Ichiya Kumagae and Zenzo Shimidza, the Japanese Davis cup team. were beaten in the: doubles”final by H. Nor- ris Willlams, 24, and Watson M. Wash- burn, after a hard fight, 4—6 and 8—s6.

However, despite the fact that the Washingtonians finished with an eight-point lead over the Arundels. their victory was not easy by any mean: mediate double: the “Capital honors, Plerson and Kress, paddling in the colors of the Maryland Swimming 1 Club, led from the start in this event. Havens and Bruce got on the outside of the course, and not until the Wash- ington Canoe Club entry shot by the judges’ boat half a length in the lead did the spectators wake up to the fact that the local entry was defeated. A close race was the intermediate singles. which was captured by Car- son Pierson of the Maryland Swim- ming Club. Havens, sporting the col- ors of the Washington Canoe Club, gained on the leader in the closing stages of the race, but Pierson's long strokes enabled him to finish several feet ahead.

Pirates Have Fine Record. Let us take a peep at the semi- monthly standing. Pittsburgh never has been out on first place at the half month since the year began. That's a capital record. New York always has been second, except on April 30, when Brooklyn was. What- ever may have happened “between times,” the Pirates and the Gilants have always finished up on the fort- night call first and segond. Pittsburgh had a winning percent- age of 786 April 30. and May 18 it was .792. Then the Pirates began to drop, and little by little they have descended. The highest the Giants ever at- tained was .980, which they held May 15, 80 it is evident that the Pirates have been coming back to New York, and the Giants have not been mak- ing rious invasions on the Pitts- burgh's percentage, which has never been lower than .66 Nationals in Front Onmce. / In the American Leaguue Washing- ton was in front on the first semi- monthly roll call, with the fine per- centage of .714.
