SPORTS. 'E’ight of 108 Players Left in TILDEN AND ANDERSON MAY CLASH IN FINALS Big Bill and Anzac Give 15,000 Spectators Treat in Vanquishing Little Bill Johnston and Norris Williams, Respectively. BY W. H. HOTTEL. P HILADELPHIA, September 15.—Eight players of the 108 who started play last Friday in the fortieth annual tournament for the tennis singles championship of the United States remain in competition. These will take part in the fifth round, the stage before the semi-final, at the Germantewn Cricket Club this afternoon. delphians, two are Californians, one 3 Three of them are Phila- is an Australian, another is an Eng- lishman and the other is a New Yorker. Tall Bill Tilden, who yesterday conquered his greatest rival of the courts, Little Bill Johnston, 4—6. 75, put out Howard Kinsey of California, 4—6, 8—6, 6—2, 6—3; Wallace- Johnsoii, who 6—1, and Craig Biddle, the veteran, who advanced to the fifth round.Tuesday, comprise the home-town trio. Willis E. Davis, winner over W. J.; Clothier of Philadelpkia, champion in 1906, by 9—7, 5—7, 14—12, 6—3, and Robert Kiusey, who romped away from W. G. Gallon of New York, 6—0, 6—1. 6—4. are the California survivors. _James O. Anderson of the Australian Davis cup team, who somewhat upset the dope by beating Norris Williams of Boston, former holder of the title, 6-—: 6—3. 2—6, 1—6, 6—4. and Gordon Lowe, tha English internationalist, who over- Whelmed Stanley Pearson of Philadel- hia, - 6—3, 6—3, are the invaders still in tae running for the premier Fonors. Francis T. Hunter is the surviving Gothamite He disposed of Frank T. Anderson, another racketer from the big city, 6—3, 6—3, 6—1, to stay in the fight. Anderson and Tilden Picked. Anderson and Tilden, who are in op- posite halves, are picked to coma through to the final round, which will be Saturday unless inclement Wweather should upset the schedule. Play today calls for the following matches : Upper half, Biddle.vs. Johnson and despite its power and accuracy, it was not as effective as was Anderson's. The Anzac aced Williams on his ser- vice no less than twenty times and this was not all his powerful serv- ing accomplished, as it American star into scores of nets and outs that could have been termed near service aces. While in the analysis | of their stroking Williams is credited with more placements than his rival, his errors also were much more nu- merous. This was not because Wil- liams was not playing clever tennis, but for the reason that Anderson, like Tilden, was setting such a terrific pace that the former champlon could not stand up under it. Should Tilden and Anderson reach the final and then play as they did yesterday, it surely would be a wonder match. Johnson. Hunter, Lowe, Davis and R. Kinsey all came through their matches without great trouble, al- though the first and last named had to travel four sets. Johnson was er- ratic at the outset of his contest with H. iKnsey, but once he settled down he showed marked superiority.

JUNIOR GOLF TITLE NEW YORK, September 15.—Charles L. Pierson of Montclair yesterday won the junior championship golf tourna- | ment of New Jersey when he defeated J. Ladue of Yountakah in the final round over the links of the Upper Montclair Country Club. Pierson reached the final by disposing of ‘Wayne Haley, a former student of St. Alban’s School, Washington, 4 and 2, in a morning semi-final. * : is more experienced than that which Members of the 1920 squad who ton, the stellar halfback; Loehler, Manson, halfback; Whyte, tackle; and Nilssen, halfback.

Of these, Connolly has had the most experience, as he held down ta ‘position on the Boston College eleven three years ago. H Other Vets to Return. Several players from the 1920 out- back, who sent word two days ago that he is on his way from Utah, probably is the most capable mem- ber of last year's eleven who is not back. Others are Hawley, one of the best linemen; Chesney, Barr, Vidmer, Paul Loehler, Powell, Hatcher, Stephens and Heath. Some exceptionally good material on + the squad in 1920 is not due to return. Men who played then not expected back are Sandys, Hume, McAllister, Johnson, Jones, Highes, Eskew, Gronna. Garnett and Moyle. Much had been expected this year of Sandys, Hume, McAllister and Eskew, and considerable difficulty will be ex- perienced in obtaining men to fill i it are due back within a few days.| | Kay, former University of Utah full- !in 1920, as the material of which the squad ultimately is to be composed made up the team then. already are at practice are Springs- end and fullback; Walters, guard; Richmond, guard; Daily, halfback, ; first praktice yesterday at Catholic | University, but word was received from practically all members of the 1920 squad that:they would be back by next Monday.

Spectators Get Eyeful. BIG TEN COACHES START REBUILDING OF ELEVENS C a season which finds most HICAGO. September 15—The ten western conference university foot ball squads today held their first practice in preparation for of the stronger elevens of the 1920 season faced with the task of replacing a majority of their former stars, reports from Virginia, and Virginia's officfal printed schedule, give the game as scheduled October 8, but this is a mistake, and Virginia has so as- sured the Hatchetite management. In speaking of prospects for the Buff and Blue eleven, Coach Morse yesterday expressed himself as be- a year ago. It was his opinion that the team should be much stronger and in the easier schedule it is to play make more than a creditable showing. Incidentally, it became known yes- terday that Morse is trying to get Bill Quigley, former University of Penn- sylvania player, to help coach the team.

However, Anderson and Tild ilden ed to show considerable strength, al- did not confine their manhandling of the ball to any short period. but ap- plied velocity to their stroking at all stages of their winning struggles. Tilden amazed the spectators by his “ terrific shots, not only on his service, | but in_the fight for points in the ral- lies. No other player in the world except Johnston would have been able to have gotten Tall Bill's cannonball serve back over the net with such great regularity, but all the California could do on the majority of the occa- sions was to merely return it, and in many cases would leave Tilden a chance for a killing drive. Johnston displayed all his cunning of the court for which he is duly fa- mous, mixing in the tossing lob which turned the tide against Richards with his drives along the lines, and often “crossing” his opponent, but the pow- er behind Tildens' game finally wore down the frail Californian, who went down to defeat wearing his famous winning smile, and at the conclusion of the match got at least three times the applause accorded the victorious player. Johnston’s Doughty Battle. Johnston came closer to victory, de- championship teams temporarily sub- dued by that given Chicago and Indi- ana, the two elevens which will carry western conference colors into sta- diums of the larger eastern schools for the first time in years. _ Maroons Peint for Tigers. Chicago faces Princeton at Princeton, October 22, in the first of a home-and- home series scheduled between the two schools. With only the remnants of his last year’s second division team | available, Coach Alonzo Stagg is pay- i ing little attention to the conference games, pointing his team entirely for the clash with Princeton. At Indiana University, Coach Jumbo Steihm has an even more difficuit task than Stagg. for his eleven, one of the weakest last season, and. with few of its stars back in school; must trade thuds with Harvard at Cambridge on October 8. In the conference itself Ohio State, 1in order to retain its 1920 champion- ship, may need even more good for- tune than last season, when two spite Tilden’s almost unbeatable ten-|E3Mmes were won by one point and nis, than the score indicates. After he won the first set he led at 5—4 and ‘was serving in the second, but Tilden ran out three games to even the the fourth set Johnston was ahead at 2—1#nd had the next game 4—0, only to have Tilden run out 5 points in a Tow :fo even matters. In the fifth gam& which was deuced several timefg-Johnston had the advantage on thre€ occasions, but could not come through, and Tilden, aftet getting the ! count 3—2 his way, romped on to en’'s serving was wonderful, but another by a touchdown gactually made after the final whistle iad been blown.
