JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Mar William T. Tilden, 2d, national cham- pion, lost another tennis title here this afternoon when he went down | to defeat before the brilliant volley- ing and steady chopping of Vincent Richards, New York, America’s No. 3 player, in five bitterly fought sets, 6—8, 14—12, 4—6, 6—0, 6—4, while de- fending his honors in the Southeast- ern tournament. Richards, at the top of his form, earned his victory, matching the champlon’s drives with his chop stroke. The match consisted largely of a base line duel, with Tilden driv- ing steadily and Richards returning accurately for long rallies. | Tilden weakened visibly in the | tpurth set, and after Richards ran up a 4-love lead, tossed away the remain- ing two games rather than attempt lto overcome it. | Both Tilden and Richards slammed | over first-service balls for many aces. | either resorted tg, lobbing except | the Stroke on tries for | Both were deadly with dfficult shots. their overhead. { In a tense moment in the last set Richards turned quickly to reach a drive and fell, scraping open the el bow on his playing arm. Tilden gave him a chance to recover and continue the rally by putting-up a high lob. In the same set,; with Richards lead- ling, 5—4, Tilden leaped high in the air after & lob and came down heav- ily. He limped to position to receive service, stamped his foot and .con- tinued. 2 .

Lit, Tesas club. cleverest base thieves in b; possessing the allimportant knack of obtaining a big lead in addition to covering ground like an antelope, and whenever a_purloined hassock may spell the difference between victory and defeat he is certain to be called | on. Myer has shown to such zreat covering shortfiekd hibi- advantage in i1 r the Griffmen in their tions to date that some of the n enthusiastic seribes have dwelt on the likelihood of him winning the position as a regular. This he seems destined to do, but not this year. Peckinpaugh, ‘with the wisdom of the veteran that he is, has been tak- ing his time about settling down to strenuous work, but harring a col- lapse in his underpinning Rajah may be expected to hold forth at nis old job throughout the campaign and again prove a tower of strength on atteck as well as defense, despite the inexplicable flop he took in the title games against the Pirates. Judged by past performances, Joe Harris may fall heir to more work | this season than any of the second- string talent. Owing to his ability to fill in acceptably at first base as well as in the garden in addition to his flair ‘for walloping the ball, the former Cleveland and Boston per- former is not likely to have bench duty as a steady diet. He is assured, of frequent summons to appear at bat in the pinches and practically is certain of considerable service at the Initial station unless Judge contrives to avold the mishaps which usually crop up to put him on the shelf for considerable periods at a time. Next to Moon it would- seem gm)b-ble that Tate may prove the usiest of the reserves. Although Ruel is accorded the distinction -of being firststring receiver of the Nationals, he is none too. sturdy in builil and gets worn down too fine to show at his best when carrying the entire burden of, backstopping. 3 Reports from Tampa indicate that the condition of Ruel’s throwing arm | 18 causing some concern. - If Muddy's wing proves weak Tate will step «hij Into the breaeh with little toss vl elfectiveness Lo n’c club.

Whether his attempt to club southpaw style will be re. warded with success is problematical, but he ranks ahead of both Arch- deacon and Jeanes as a fly-chaser. Tex's forte is hitting, und the extent to which he will be used depends upon tunities. It is probable one or the other of this pair will be let slide before the time for cutting to the player limit arrives, but Boss Bucky may defer action to await develop- ments after the season opens. Archdeaton has been retarded in his training this Spring by in- different health, and a lack of pep in Jeanes, which some observers have interpreted as laziness, has militated against his chances, but regardless of whether one or both of these athletes goes, the Griff- men seem better fortifled with re- serves in their quest of a third straight champlonship than at any time since they became contend- ers in the American League.
