By William Abbott. HAT the wallop is now the win- ning stroke in tennis will be demonstrated this afternoon when the two Williams—Tilden of Philadelphia and Johnston of San Francisco—meet in the finals of the All-Comers Championship at Forest Hills, Tilden and Jobnston came through the strongest field ever en- tered for the national trophy because they could hit harder and with more accuracy than their 126 advercavies from the United States, Australia and Japan. ‘Tilden on his service and. deep fore- hand drives is the hardest hitter that ever swung @ racquet. It was erally believed the limit was reacued for powerful stroking when Maurice McLoughlin with his cannon-bail service and spectacular overhead “kills” defeated Wilding and Brookes in the 1914 Da ‘up matches at Forest Hills. The California Comst burned up so much energy in those memorable battles that he’s never been the same since. But lanky, broad-shouldered Tilden clouts a tennis ball probably 2% per cent. harder than McLoughlin ever did in his heyday. Without much straining effort ‘T:1- den gets his service over like a white flash and the second ball as fast as the first. At times these shots are practically unreturnable, Norman Brookes, the forty-two-year-old Aus- tralian, has gone up against all styles of tennis in his long career, but he sald he had never seen such wallops as the ones Tilden boomed into his court in the fifth round of the All-Comers Championship, These smashes frequently turned the Aus- tralian's racquet right in his hand, so terrific was the speed of the ball. The combination of such tremen- dous speed and accuracy so im- pressed Brooxes that he compli- mented Tilden on the development of his remarkable game. In addition to his notable hitting, Tilden has # change of pace and many other strokes, including a backhand with a wicked undercut that has baffled his opponents all season. It would seem that any one so strongly equipped would rule a de- cided favorite in a title match, put it happens that Tilden meets an op- ponent who handles the fastest played ball with the same ease that the average star would “kill” a soft, ( il : a = " sl ih ti cl R,Reynalds ™ Tobacco Co.

Bill Jobnston learned his game on the California clay courts, where speed and hard clouting were the daily tennis diet. Johnston him- self says that in those days if you didn’t soak them the bird on the other side of the net would only be waiting to smash the ball out of reach. The little Californian is an expert both in the way of receiving fast shots and how to shoot them over as well. While Tilden will at times stroke harder than Johnston, it is doubtful if bis average of driving shots will come up to the Western star's, John- ston is particularly effective with a forehand drive that he plays low over the net and with unerring ‘direo- tion. He picks his openings with rare judgment and strokes through them with the accuracy of @ markeman beppering a bull's-eye, Johnston em. ployed his line shots with remarkable success against “Hurricane” Patter- jon, for it was a lost point to play the big Australian high in the air, ‘Where Johnston excels Tilden and all other American is in mid- court, the toughest position of all to cover. To hold this position one must be sure with his ground strokes, the knack of fairly scooping the ball off your shoestrings. Johnston can take the hardest-hit. ball while in this Position and not only return but placé it about anywhere he pleases. This is a great advantage, for John- ston gets the ball on the fly and in- variably returns it go quickly that his opponent is caught out of position. Summing up the game of both finalists Tilden has a slight advan- tage in some departments and John- ston in others. They have met on the courts three times this season, Tilden winning two matches, but it must de considered that Johnston is only getting back to the courts after a two years’ absence in the Navy. Both stars are 0 evenly matched that the “breaks” will undoubtedly determine the winner. William Tilden, William Johnston, R, Norris Williams and Wallace John- son, the four semi-finalists in the national championship, have been named to represent the United States in team matches with Australia that will start to-morrow at Forest Hills. i MORE NEW CANDIDATES FOR ATHLETIC OFFICES. ‘Two new candidate were announced zosterday as having the packing ¢ ot the pw clubs of the Intersectional Athit! ue at the coming aannual electi ¢ Metropolitan Regiment Armory on Sept.
