Mass., July 22—Masterful in every detail was the tennis display which William T. Tilden, 2d, of Philadelphia, set off at the expense of R. Norris Williams, 2d, of Boston, in the fina‘l round of the Longwood bowl singles at Chestnut Hill today. The n.auona] champion raced through his 1921 Davis cup teammate and Wil- liams' portion was the short end of 6—1, 6—3, 7—5 sets. In the doubles final Tilden fre- quently acted in the role of a spec- tator, as his partner, Wallace F. John- gon of Philadelphia, was the target, but his team had sufdient power and steadiness to overcome the youthful Philip Bettens of San Francisco and Carl Fischer of Philadelphia, 6—1, $—6, 5—7, 6—0. Seldom has Boston been treated to a better exhibition of tennis than Tilden and Williams uncovered in their singles match. The elongated Philadelphian was at the very top of his brilliant game, yet it was a ":ub" of the easiest sort of a “sitter” that cest Williams a chance to carry the match to four sets. Leading at 5—2 in the third session, Willlams ran into a lead of 15-40 on | g Tilden's service, only to hear the call of “deuce” when he missed the range on two sizzling volleys. Even then Willlams again had the set In the hollow of his hand when Tilden made an error, for on the next point he sent the ball down into a corner and Tilden did Well to get it back. The whole court was open and Wil- liams was in position to clinch the set, but. the Longwood man fmagined that the linesman had called “out” onhis brilliant stroke and his half-hearted return found the strings. Along about that time Tilden seemed to be willing to conserve his energy for & fourth set, for the prospect of pulling out the get from a 2—5 stage was not encouraging. When Williams’ error brought the game to deuce again Til- den suddenly became a human dy- namo. ’ He rushed things with a fury, pro- duced a placement and forced Wil- liams Into an error and the games were 3—5, with Tilden trailing. Then Williams dropped his service at “30” and thereafter Tilden lost a single point—a netted return of service in the eleventh game. Willilams played excellent tennis throughout, but Tilden simply smoth- ered him. —_—— THIRD ROUND REACHED IN PUBLIC LINKS PLAY Golfers in the main flights of the East Potomac Park fol( tourney have advanced to the third round.
