By William Abbott. HE American brand of tennis— great speed and terrific hit- ting—will be represented by its two foremost exponents to-morrow af- ternoon at Forest Hills when William Johnston’ of California and William | Tilden, Philadelphia, clash ip the finals for the thirty-eighth dll comers championship, The original field comprised 128, Brookes, Patterson, Lycett and Thomas from Australia, home of some of the world’s most notable racquet wielders; Iehiya Kumague, Japan, and practically all ranking players from the United States. Every conceivable stroke} known to the ancient sport,” first played in the old Roman days, was flashed during the Forest Hills tour- nament, Johnston and Tilden came through to the title round because they applied most skilfully the latest American game, blending of speed with hard pitting, which is now the working model for the tennis world. ‘Tilden and Johnston both have fast service, especially Tilden, who shoots ‘em over faster than McLoughlin ever | , did, Tilden favors a backhand stroke with a nasty cut to it, Jotnston de- pends mostly on strong forehand drives, which he controls with won- derfil acouracy. Both are strong overhead. Johnston excels in thw most difficult of all shots, the ground stroke, His mastery of this particu- lar stroke enables the little Califor- nian to stand in mid court and deftly handle the swiftest kind of réturns, In playing temperament there wide difference. Tilden, nervous, h strung sometimes pays the penalty of an overdose of temperament with un- steadiness. The tall Philadelphian is one of the flashiest players in game when his pet strokes are going over nicely, But Tilden is known to use poor judgment when things be- gin to break the wrong way. John- ston, both in form and temperament, is the ideal match player. He seldom becomes erratic, common fault with most tennis stars, and his judgment ‘at all times is practically perfect. There is no wasted energy in the Call- fornian’s game. He has rare ability anticipating his o ment's shots. vith smooth, cat-like movement he gildes over the court, making hard recoveries look easy. it Johnaton is ment of the Forest Park course in| | never guilty of tearing after Impos- sible shots. Johnston's game is pecu fitted to hfs frail physique, for the little Californian starts nearly every match under @ physical handi- cap. ‘To-morrow afternoon he must put his 5.4 feet and 118 pounds against Tilden, who Ups 160, stands 6.1 and has a Loses, as It Defeat of Miss Jemima, Cudgel and Sea Mint Chills Racegoers’ Enthusiasm, By Vincent Treanor.

L, Sept. 2— All tennis matches scheduled here for this afternoon, including the national singles championship between William M. Johnston and William T.

They will be played to-morrow, weather permitting. to the casual visitors who are una’ days turn out to be just the oppo- their money to the wiseacre layers. So it is that holidays and Saturdays Perlance, as “sucker days.” Such a the opening of the fall racing season. From a public viewpoint. no better programme could have been fur- nished for the occasion, made to order for the favorites, and through an unexpectedly easy victory over R.
