DECIDES ACCOMPARNY | ing. { next and final n RICHARDS STEPS TOWARD THE T0P Youthful Tennis Star Likely to Achieve Ambition By The Assoclated Prese, New York, March 3.—Until lnst season's stirring campalgn, *the ex- perts who had been predicting an- nually that Vincent Richards would break through to the top of the tennis heap had little real cause for satisfaction, 1In fact a conviction lhad become pretty well grounded that this, blond haired, flashing youth wotlld never reach the ul- timate peak, but as though catching his second wind, Richards leaped forward in 1924 with such startling strides that he dislodged “Little Bill"” Johnston from the No. 2 rank- ing position and came perilously close to toppling “Big Bill” Tilden in the national championship singles. There remained no doubt in the minds of observers at the close of last scason that Richards had “ar- rived.” This year, with the natural expectation of further improvement in his game, he stands out as the one player having the best chance of threatening Tilden's five-year reign. Observers here do the possibillty of a come-back by Johnston, who forms the remaining link of America’s “Big Three,” but the Californian has passed his peak while Richards, young, ambitious and confident,is on the upgrade, Undertaking in 1924 the heaviest campaign he had attempted, Rich- ards came through with colors fly- He was defeated by Jean Boro- tra, French star and the ultimate victor, in the Wimbledon cham- not overlook | plonships but captured the Olympic | singles crown from a notable fleld at Paris and also took the doubles title, paired with Frank Hunter, Returning to this country, ards rose to great heights in the national singles at Forest Hills, where he fought Tilden to a stand- stil) in a five-set thriller that sup- plied the tournament's real climax, inasmuch as the champion in his match casily con- quered Johnston. A W later, Richards smothered Johnston, his old nemesis, with surprising ease in the cast-west matches. He put the crowning touch to his campaign when, selected for the first time for the Davis Cup singles, he conquered Patterson and O'Hara Wood, the Augstralian stars. Much of Richards’ improvement last season was due to development of a stronger service and the addi- tion of weight which increaged his power and endurance. These were the factors he most needed to rein- Rich- B | force the versatility he had acquired as a protege of Tilden. Most of Richards' moteoric prog- ress has been linked with the fnflu- ence of the present national cham- pion. His first national triumph came in 1917 when, as a youth of 14, he won the boys' champlonship. A year later he startled the tennis world by winning the national turf | court doubles with Tilden, a victory which was repeated in 1921 and 1922, In 1919, Richards defeated his mentor to win the national fn- door title. He has held the samc title over the past two years.
