TENNIS TITLE | Philadelphian Downs Johnston in Brilliantly Played Five-Set Hills, N. Y., Sept. T.—In as sen- a match as has vet been played in a title tournament William T. Tilden 2d, of Philadelphia, wrested the national tennis champonship from William M. Johnston, of San Francisco, yesterd With his op- ponent fighting tenaciously to stave off de- feat, the man who swept all before him at Wimbleden rose to the height of his tennis ability, flashed dazzling speed and strokes and triumphed after five hagd sets that will live long in the memory ofthose who were fortunate_enough to be o hand to witness them. The score was 6—1, 1—6, 7—§, 5—7. 6—3, and the victory gave Tilden un- disputed right to be called the world's champion In defeat there was glory a-plenty for the little CaliforAian. He went down striving his utmost to turn the tide in his favor. He played well and daringly and it prob- ably was the best tennis he has shown this season, but his best was not good enough to beat the super-tennis that his rival yed at critical stages on the other side the net. Johnston never faced a gigantic k more courageously. Coming from be hind after being fairly overwhelmed in the first set, the Californian retaliated with just as one-sided a triumph in the second set Then in the fourth, with Tilden lcading, two sets to one, and within a single stroke of the match, Johnston turned him back. pulling the game out of the fire by the most thrilling sort of gets and the pluckiest sort of met attack in the face of tremendous strokes that the holder of the British title pounded mcross from every angle. It served only to delay defeat, however In the last set Johnston's daring proved his undoing. He rushed the net persistentl intent upon blocking Tilden's forehandes and backhanders, and while he did voliey many of them back for earned points, Tilden passed him more frequently and ended the match in convincing styl In the long run it was Tilden's bullct-like service that won the title for him. It whizzed across with aimost incredible speed. | and time and again Johnston had to stand by helplessly while the shot sped by almost t00 quickly for him to get his racquet into action. With occasional exceptions the service, whenever Tilden called upon all of the speed he could inject into the bal), was wellnigh untakable. Sixteen of them’swept across for service aces and many others barely were returned by the Californian, who did remarkaply well under the ci cumstances to hr;k through often enough to win two of the five sets. The dark d and the discolored balls that darkened up quickly as they bounded over turf made heavy by intermijtent rain all helped to make Tilden's amazing service all the more eftective.

The latter horse had th race apparently won when It went into break just before reaching the wire in the final heat. Pop Geers, the grand old man of the light harness game, was roundly applauded when he appeared on the track behind Wiki Wiki for the @irst race, the 2:15 trot. The veteran responded by win- ning the race in straight heats. Tommy Murphy piloted Sanardo home to & win over Direct C. Burnett and Goldie Todd in the free-for-all pace. The son of San Francisco had no trouble winning. leading his two rivals at all times. Dar- vester, with Billy Fleming gulding its des tinies, grabbed the honors in the final event on the program-——the 2:12 pace. The crowd was the largest at any opening day in years and the majority of racing enthusiasts staved until the final event on the program was run off. Wikl Wiki, from the stable of BEd Geers,- with the veteran In the sulky, got off in the outside position In’the first heat of the 15 trot, but by the time the final turn w reached Geers had his horse in front. - He won the heat in a hot finish, all five horses being bunched coming down the stretch. There was nothing to it but Geers in the second heat, as Wiki Wiki had the pole position and kept it all of the way. Sanardo’s Race. The free-for-all pace went the way it was expected to, Sanardo walking away with both heats. Direct C. Burnett, owned by John A. Pilgard. of this city, and driven by Billy Crosier, showed its best form of the year, but it was no match for Tommy Mue- phy lassy pacer, and Crozier had to 5" content with second place. Geers could do. litle with Goldie Todd and the bay mare finished in last place in both hea! The only race that brought the crowd to Its feet was the 2:04 trot, which Nedda won when Tommy Murphy's Charley Rex falled to stay upon its feet when it looked to have the final heat well in hand. Nedda was the smoothest working performer of the bunch, but Charley Rex appeared to hav the most speed and the better s ities, losing only because of its ma The son of Recreation broke just word was give in the opehing heat and before it recove its stride the others had too large a lead to overcome.
