BY W. H. G HOTTEL. ERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB, Philadelphia, September 15—Big Bill Tilden of Philadelphia and Lit follower of the game of tennis believed at the start of the tourna- tle Bill Johnston, just as cvery ment, will fight it out this afternoon for the national singles champion- ship. Tilden, who has won the title three years in'a row, is the favorite. It is the general opinion that he will win in four sets, possibly three, but on the other hand, many would not be surprised if Johnston carried him the limit, as he did in 1922, Both played winning in straight sets. ish 6—2, but to many s games had he so played the best tennis in the tourney in de- | ancis T.

Tilden did not take off his sweater in beating Norton. It was a natty- looking piece of apparel too, being of white with red stripes around the neck and lower edge. Some one said his Aunt Betsy knitted it for him, but Blg Bill was not asked as to this, At any rate, it adorned him from the start to the finish of the match, and it Is safe to say that he was not near so comfortable as was Norton, who shed his at the outset. Holds Norton Cheaply. Norton was credited with making the statement on Thursday night that he not only was going to beat Tilden vesterday, but that he was going to win the tournament. Whether or not this had anything to do with the way in which Tilden nonchalantly— and that is the right word—toved with the British South African is a matter of conjecture, but our one best bet would be that it did. Had Tilden played i the manner in which he annihilated Alonso on Thursday, it is doubtful whether Norton could have gotten more than two or three games. However, Tilden chose to “show up” his rival in anoth- er way. He let many shots pass him that he could have gotten, and In a great number of games would let Norton rush into a good lead, and then put on steam and nose him out It was evident to even the greemest tennis fan that Tilden was “making a monkey” out of his opponent, who Incidentally, shares the national dou- bles title with him Near the close of the match Norton ran over to a chair and picked up a brown felt hat, placed it on his head and pulled it pretty well down over his_ears.

Martinkburg was unable to do any- thing with Willeys, box artist for the Dobbins, while Manager Earl Mack of Martinsburg sent in his staff of four pitchers in a futile effort to stem the Dover onslaught. The Dob- bins played a brilliant flelding game. MISS HOOKER NET WINNER. PHILADELPHIA, September 15— Miss Helen Hooker of Southampton, L.

Answered by GLEN WARNER Koot ball conch, University of Pitts burgh for past eight years. Teams undefented five of eight years. For- mer athletic director, Cnrlisle Indians, Successful coach for twenty-eight years. \ * ok ok The most important thing for a back to know, to prevent being tackled, is how to use the straight arm jab to push tacklers away. The back uses this stiff arm with the open hand, meeting the tackler on the head ‘or shoulder and at the same time throwing his legs out and away from the tackler. Dodging is another trick that bai- fles tacklers. The ball carrier feints. going ‘one side of the tackler and quickly shifts his direction. Change of pace in the open field also fakes a back hard to tackle. The runner stops quickly just as the tackler iy making his dive, so that the latter will misjudge the distance and sprawl on the ground. _All these tricks require plenty of prac- tice.

In the elghth, however, he broke badly and, after yielding three successive hits, gave way to Allen Russell.

IN FLOSSMOOR TOURNEY Dumphy, Champion Here, Accounted Best of Wash- ington Group—Has Been Above 80 Only Once in Trial Trip Over Chicago Links. BY W. R. McCALLU LOSSMOOR COUNTRY CLUB , Chicago, 1.7 September 15.~One hundred and forty golfers, the finest men of the brassie clan among the amateurs in the United States, bundled up in sweaters and heavy vests today and went out to battle with par over this course in the first half of the qualifying round of the national amateur championship. Included in the hopefuls were five Washington men, one the District of Columbia champion and another a youngster for whom great hope is held in the future. The other three are old and tried golfers, although, strange to say, not one of the entire group has qualified in an amateur championship. They all hope a different tale will be told Monday night, when the qualifying round will be behind them, with match play to start Tuesday morning. Chris J. Dunphy, holder of the District title, looks to be the best bet of the Washington group to qualify. Dunphy has only been over 80 once in five rounds of the Floss- moor course. Yesterday afternoon, playing in a four-ball match with Francis Ouimet of Boston as a part- ner against Jess Sweetser, the amateur champion, and John_ Ander- son, Dunphy was around In 77, with a 6 at the seventeenth, a par 5 hole. Dunphy teed off with Paul Gardner of Onwentsia just before noon today. Elder Mackenzie Away Early. Albert R. Mackenzie of Columbia, the middle Atlantic champion, was the first local man to get away, Detroit at 10:30. A pair behind Dun- | phy came Guy. M. Standifer, who has been hovering around the 80 mark in practice and should qualify. Roland R. Mackenzie, sixteen-year- old son of Albert, got away at 1:40 this_afternoon, while Donald Parson of Chevy Chase, started just after 11 o'clock. Flossmoor is a real test for the man who is not getting his tee shots on the nose. It demands distance, al- though many of the contestants claim the rough is as bad as at any course they have played. Distance and ac- curacy, the two factors that win golt tournaments, are again the dominat- ing factors at Flossmoor, and, as usual, the big four, Evans, Jones Sweetser and Ouimet, look like the men who will figure next Saturday.
