Norris Williams 2d Wins This Time He Will Become Permanent Possessor of the Trophy, Both Having Won It Twice Already. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9. | TPARLY all the great tennis! stars of the United States and | many foreign experts are here to-day ready to participate im the fortieth All-Comers’ singles tourna- ment, which begins on the turf of the Germantown Cricket Club, here | In the opinion of many play- | ers, sensational form reversals are | bound to take place. Six former holders of the title are taking part in thie year's classic. Two of them, | William M. Johnston and R, Norris Williams 24, have two legs apiece upon the classic trophy, and a vie tory will give either of them perna- nent possession of it, From the standpoint of class the com. petition, despite the fact that ite list of 108 Is a trifle short of the usuat number, surpasses the prospects of many years, It is not alone that William ©. Tilden, R. Lindley Murray, William A. Larned, the Nestor of the American oourts, and William J. Clothier are in the lists. Every member of the top ten of the United States, witn the single | exception of Clarence J, Griffin, the Californian at No. 6, is in to give battle | against Zenzo Shimidzu, of the Japan- | ese challenging team for the Davis Cup; | | | the unbroken Australasian — fore James ©. Anderson, Norman Peach, John B. Hawke and Clarence V, Todd, as well as E. Gordon Lowe of the Brit- tah Isles, and others. In all of the important details the arrangements at the Germantown Cricket Club have followed the plans that have been so successful at Forest Hills, The pitches of the grand stand are reported to be in exceptional trim. | They have had the watchful care of | Tucker, the turf expert, for some time, | and there is little chance of any com plaint from the competitors.

When word was recetved that Webb who was playing with Stephen Ber- rien, the Upper Montclair junior, had passed the turn in 36 it was generally conceded that he had the low score prize at his mercy, This beliet be- came a conyiction when the former Englewood golfer made the next six holes in one under 4°s.
