September 14—The match that, according to gen- eral belief, will decide the 1921 tennis singles championship of the this afternoon at the Germantown Cricket Club, when the two Bills—Tilden, the present titleholder, and Johnston, twice winner of the honor and out to gain permanent posses-' sion of the cup—clash in what is expécted to be a court classic.

In addition to “the battle of the vear” which is part of the lower Pportion of the draw, the program for today calls for the following clashes, which will send the tourney into th fifth rounds, the stage before the semi-final: pUpper halt—Howard Kingey, San Francisco, against Wallace F.

Only two foreign players remain in ’ the competition—Anderson, the Anzac, and Lowe, the Briton—and on what they have shown the Antipodean ap- pears to be the only real menace and if he beats Willlams today almost surely will be a finalist.

Johnston and Richards gave the spectators the treat of their lives in their match, and both of the players, were given a tremendous and well de- served ovation when they left the cen-. ter court. Richards put up a valiant Battle and Johnston showed superman tennis to gain the victory. It was another case of experience winning ‘When the brilllancy of their play is considered there is hard- ly a mite’s difference, the superior ! knowledge. of court strategy turning v the tide the veteran’s way. During the first two sets Richards played unbeatable tennis. His first 11 was cutting through the service at a terrific pace and his volley- ing, both backhand and forehand, was marvelous. His game was 30 rapid- fire in nature that, while he outplaced Johnston by only the narrowest of margins in his two winning sets, he ‘was forcing the Californian to make nets and outs, for the simple reason that Johnston could not stroke the ball Johnston Switches Taetics.
