SINGLES TOURNEY Both Players Appear at Peak of (‘;ame—Johnston Has Old Skill, but Is Weak Physically, Having Trouble With His Tonsils, BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, September 3.—In the.light of play in the Davis cup matches it would seem as though the two great figures in the national singles to be held at Germantown next week would be William Tilden, the title holder, and James O. Anderson of Australia. This opinion is based not so much upon the skill of Tilden and An- dersom, as compared to that of William Johnston, as upon the physical 0 tion of the three men. Just now at the peak of his game %ilden displays.every characteristic of a man abounding in energy and animil spirits.i. His poise’is that of an athlete who is on the courts as a matter of fun.| So with-Anderson, six feet two and a half inches of bone, steel and wire, who takes a sheer enjoyment in competition. Johnston, on the other hand. strikes the close observer as being physically below par.

Auderson Clever Player. A= for Anderson he looks—in fact is—the best forelgn player that hax appeared in__ this = country _since Brookes and Wilding. His one flaw is a tendency to go up in the air in the face of adversity, to let his tempera- ment take command., Otherwisée his game presents few defects. He 18 a devastating player and in the domajin of crosa-court shots from the leff- hand corner he has no equal. The inability of Gerald Patterson to make the trip this year with the Australian Davis cup team grievous- téans. . ly affected the strength of the 1623 Tendernaip o hvis Soaa® pime |team of invaders. For with ‘Ander- I i, Sup, Dlar. |son going as he s and Patterson playing in his best form there is ny telling what the complexion of events lmifihl have been at the present writ- ng. Hawkes is a young player, & left- handet, Who has some very strong strokew. He will be better as a re. sult of this year's experience and many who ha watched him pre- dict that ensuing years will sce his rise to stardom. This may prove to be the case. Youns Mclnnes and Schlesinger, the other two members of the Australian team, have a long way to go yet. (Copyright, 1923.) D. C. NETMEN FIGURE.

The follow-through is as impor: tant in tennis_as in golf, and is especially vital in the backhand. It is very important in making fore- hand drives, too. Billy Johnston, the | greatest living exponement of the forehand drive, has.an especially fine follow-through. . Of course, one cannot change the course of the ball after it has left the racquet, but it is the union of ‘the follow-through with the first part of the stroke that makes the whole thing so certain and accu- rate. A beginner wants to stop his stroke suddenly after hitting the ball, when instead he should follow- through with his racquet as far as he can normally reach. ‘(Copyright, 1028.)
