Until Bil Tilden came along no racqueteer since the haleyon days of Larned had been able to put over such a sensatlonal string of successes, Tilden equaled Larned's record last year, This season the lanky Quaker has ince to set a new mark for modern times by going his name- sake of years ago one better, And ty sure of doing it. As we scan the net horizon we find no one looming up capable of ousting Tilden from his throne. In fact, no one possessing the ability to give him a real battle, Since the 1920 championships, when Tilden first gained the laurels by defeating Bill Johnston, the mite from California, he has ruled the | roost without a great dea lof difi- | culty, | Year after year he has hlasted his way through the flashiest field | the pastime has been able to pro- duce. And each season it has been | the same old story — Tilden wins again This time ont the situation ap- ars similar to that of other cam- paigns. For the Philadelphia monarch is due to face just about the same galaxy of stars. Richards, Johnston, Johnson, Willlams, the Kinseys and others 8 the old guard will once again strive to dethrone the King. \ Likewise, fhere will be a fow | members of the younger group vie- ing for supremacy. Ior instance, George Lott, Lucien Williams and Johnny Hennessey. But they all look alike to Tilden, who geems bent on clinging to the old olive branch for some time to come. Of course there'll he a buneh of foreign celebrities in the starting list. TRene Lacoste and Jean Boro- tra, the French aces, will be in- cluded. And so will the Australian | trio; Patterson, Anderson and | Hawkes. Manuel Alonzo, the flashy | Bpaniard, 18 another, But none of them appears to have €ven an outside chance of knocking | "Big Bill" from off his lofty perch. | Lacoste and Borotra are good pla ers but lack experience, Patterson, | Anderson and Hawkes are fairly | well-seasoned veterans, Australia’s best, no doubt, yet not in Tilden's class by a wide margin, Alonzo's | fair, that's all | True, virtually every tennis! championship has ils wpsel, But | there fsn't & contender in the lineup | appearing capable of tipping over the old dope bucket to such an ex- tent as eliminating Tilden. Other reputed stars may drop out before the onslaughts of some so-called lesser Jights, but Tilden’ is hardly likely to be one ef them. Hence the 1825 battle for the na- tional crown stacks up as a cut and dried affalr, with “Big Bill" Tilden quite certain of heating Billy| Larned's old record hy hanging up | | six championships in a row. | ENTER FOOTBALL FIELD Local Club Has Already Signed Up ! A Number of Speedy Men— First Practice Thursday | The Falcons organized a football | team for the coming season at a | | meeting last night and they expect from present indications, te put a | strong lineup in’ the field. Joseph | Venliski, who has managed the base- | ball team so satisfactorily during the past season, was elected temporary manager until the season is started. The Ifalcons have secured and signed many good playe George Kopee, former navy man who play- ed right haltback for the Rangers A. C. last season, was elected cap- fain of the eleven. Gregory, Rang- er tackle, was also signed te play i the Falcons. F. Dolly, & for- | mer navy man was also signed up, | Huft Conrad, who played in many | of the fmportant games with the | | Rangers last year, will he at quar- ferback, while the Sobiek brothers, | powerful tackles on the Ranger team last season, will be with the team |this year. Among the others who lave heen signed up are James Gur- | uitskl, Tom Heines. J. Cuba, Adam | Sulliek, William Yankas Zig- | mund Blach, Chester Burdaski, | Raymend Gunning, James Samains, | Charles Kreador, last year's end with | the Rangers and many other good | | men LEFT TO RIGHT—VINC] Here are the members of the American Davis cup team who will | defend their laurels against either Australia or ance in the challenge round early in September. Richards and Wililams will team in the doubles, with Johnson and Tilden taking part in the singles. Wil ffams, who has been captain for several years, holds a similar honor this season, (BY NEA S8ERVICE) New Yorl Sept, 4. —Will the | United States Davis cup team again triumph in the internatjonal tennis matches this season and thus excel | the five successive victories hung up by Australia 15 campaigns back or will the run of Americun suceesse be finally halted? Those questions, quite momen- | tous in the reaim of netdom, will be answered September 10 when Uncle Sammy's yacquet wielders clash with either I'rance or Australia in the challenge round. | Clean Sweep for Amerioa 8ince Bill Tilden foined the | ranks of Davis cup players the | United States has made a, clean sweep of all opponents. In other| words, this country has been de-| fending champion since Tilden | climbed into national, in fact, world wide, recognition in 1920, In the intetrvening years America has faced Australia four times and Japan once in the finals. And out side of once or fwice handed the foe a grand slam. This year the situation again looms much the same. For, with that sterling quartet Tilden, Johnston, Richards and Williams carrying the American standards to the front it surely stacks up as an- other willing fiesta, as far as Uncle | Sam's representatives are concerned. Tilden and Johnson rate pretty much by themselves in singles play, while Richards and Williams are equally eapable of putting up & worthwhile exhibition in the doubles Whether America will meet Aus tralla again or whether it will be Irance that forms the opposition will not be known until the outcome of the clash between the two zone winners early this month “Big Tour" Too Streng But regardless of Ameriea’s op- ponent, the U. §. quartet should be able to chalk up another triumph in the blue ribbon classic of the pas- time, I'or neither Australia nor France appears to have a combina- tion stout enough to hold the “Blg Four” in check. So, on paper at least, it looks like 4 1925 victory for this country, which would establish a new reeord for consecutive wins in Davis cup play, and that in itself is quits an incentive to hattle for.
