Tilden Retains World Tennis Championship, Although Nearly Beaten by South African American Star Beats Norton In Five Sets Title Holder Loses First Two Frames But Plays Bril? liantly Toward the Last ! . WIMBLEDON, July 2 (By The Asso? ciated Press).?William T. Tilden, of Philadelphia, world's lawn tennis cham? pion, successfully defended his title in the challenge round of the British turf court championships here to-day, de? feating B. I. C. Norton, the South Afri? can star, in a five-set match. The score was 4?6, 2?6, 6?1, 6-0, 7 5. Tilden won the match by a superb up? hill struggle. The contest was one of the closest, and most sensational wit? nessed here in many a day. Beaten in the first two sets, he returned to form in the third, winning this and the fourth set by the score of 6?1, 6?0. In the fifth and deciding set the play was at first in Norton's favor, the South African leading 3?2. and then 5?4. Tilden took it to deuce, however, and then captured the set and the match by winning the next two gamer.. Tilden by his victory retains the title he won at Wimbledon last year, when by playing through the tournament and defeating Gerald Patterson, of Australia, in the challenge round he captured not only the British cham? pionship, but what is generally con? ceded to be the world's title. Players Get Ovation The other titular honors now held by the Philadelphian are the American na? tional championship and the world's hard-court championship, which last he won this year in the matches at St. Cloud, Fmnce. Both Tilden and Norton received an ovation when they entered the courts. The American opened with a Cood serv? ice, but in the subsequent returns made mistakes and lost the first game. Then Norton double-faulted and Til den captured two games. Norton took the next game, the champion overhit ting the line. The South African magnificently re? turned some of Tilden's "whiz-bane" services and led at 3 to 2. Norton playing admirably, won his own service game, bringing the score to 4 to 2. Til den netted chop strokes and double taulted, thus giving Norton the lead at 5 to 2. Tilden rallied, however, and ultimately reached 4?5, but Norton, playing brilliantly from the back court, again got a point when Tilden netted a half volley. Norton then won the_ set with a service ace. Norton captured Tilden's first serv? ice game in the second set with splen? did returning off the ground, with the champion netting or outing almost every time. Then Tilden endeavored to make an ace< but failed. Norton took the second game and the third. Tilden in the main beat himself and the score went to 4 to 0 in Norton's favor. Norton Again Leads Tilden got the next service game with two "whiz-bangs" and hard driv? ing. The next game was taken to fif? teen by the champion with grand driv? ing. Norton in the seventh cross volleyed superbly some of Tilden's hardest drives and led at 5 to 2. Til den continued his numerous errors and lost the last game on Norton's service from love forty. Here Norton half-volleyed frbm the base line one of Tilden's hurricane drives and took the second set at C?2. In the third set Tilden got the first game on his service and then won Norton's service. Tilden in the next game thrice successively beat himself, but pulled the game out with four suc? cessive ace points. Tilden now was beating Norton finely all around the court, but the latter periodically brought out fine winners. Norton next captured his opponent's service game, but Tilden realized with meant it to be a. over "whiz-bang" services and steadied himself beautifully. He played hurri? cane shots all around the court and captured a love set. In this set Nor? ton never once appeared to be trying. He hit the ball in the wildest fashion, and Tilden took the set at 6?0. Tilden Evens Score Norton captured the first game in the fifth set, but Tilden evened the score and then took the lead at 2?1. ?Nor? ton, however, drew level at two-all and forged ahead at 3-2, with Tilden one more beating himself on easy shots Norton got another point and led at 4_2 but ultimately, with the South African making most unaccountable mistakes, Tilden drew level at 4?4. Norton then went ahead to 5?4, with mediocre tennis. Norton twice got within a stroke ot the match, but Tilden evened it at 5?5 after several deuce calls. Tilden then captured Norton's service game and led at 6?5. Two fine aco points gave the American 3G-love, one being a cannon ball ace. Tilden went to 40?16. The American netted the next ball, but served a whirlwind ace for the last point, winning the set 7-?5. Randolph Lycett and Max Woosnam, England, won the final match in the men's doubles of the British turf court lawn tennis championship tournament here to-day, defeating A. /I. and P. G. Lowe, England, in straight sets, 6?3, 6?0, 7?5 Lowe Brothers Beaten Woosnam and Lycett forced the Lowe brothers away from the base line, where they are supreme, and sent them ter riiBc smashes which the Lowes could not handle, and it was this style of play that carried the victors through. In the first two sets the Lowe brothers were outclassed, but in the third set they staged a fine rally and took the lead at 5?4. Woosnam and Lycett, however, captured the next three L games, thus winning the set and the ? championship. f Randolph Lycett, of England, and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, of California, de? feated Max Woosnam and Miss F. M. Howkins, of England, in the final o? the mixed doubles in the British turf court tennis championship here to-day, 6?2. 6?1. Lycett and Miss Ryan defeated their opponents with remarkable ease. The winners played a superb all-round game, with hard driving and aggressive volleying, overpowering the British pair. Miss Ryan Wins in Doubles The final match of the women's doubles was won by Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French star, and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, of California, who de? feated Mrs. Beamish and Mrs. Peacock, of England, 6?1, 6?2. Mile. Lenglen and Miss Ryan showed far superior form to that of their op? ponents. They were always at the net attacking with vigorous volleying and Mrs. Beamish and Mrs. Peacock, on the baseline, never had a chance. In the final match for the All-Eng land chamoionhip, Mr. Gilbert defeated F. M. B. Fisher, 7?5, 4?6, 6?0. ????"??_ _ The Days of Real Sport .? : : : : : : : : ; ; By briggs I Inslee Sails Taurus To Close Victory Over Big Dipper Captures Race in Star Class of Bayside Regatta by Twenty Seconds Because of an absence of anything resembling a breeze while the yachts of three classes were waiting f/r favor i able conditions to start in the weekly I regatta of the Bayside Yacht Club yes i tei'day afternoon until after 4 o'clock, i only one round of the triangular course in Little Neck Bay was sailed, William L.

The system used in these inter sectional contests includes the organi? zation of the students according to the part of the country from which they come. While the tennis tournament is run much on the order of other con? tests of a similar nature, swimming i arrangements provide for elimination contests among the competing mem? bers from each section of the country.

Tales of a Wayside Tee -By GRANTLAND RICE Copyright. 1821, Naw ?ork Tribuno Ina Much has been written about the epochal victory of Jock Hutchison at St. Andrews, but the real miracle of that classic was Roger Wethered. Wethered first came into prominence over a year ago when he and Cyril Tolley were ranked as the stoutest members of the Oxford team. He was known as a mighty hitter and a golfer capable of good iron play, but he never seemed to get anywhere, even in minor amateur circles. When he came to the United States last September he immediately earned fame as a tre? mendous clouter but in a scoring way he was never taken seriously. In the qualifying round of the United States amateur championship he was out of it before the first round was over, with a total bordering on 90. Later on at the , invitation tourney held at Morris County he was badly beaten by Tolley I in his first test. In the recent British amateur cham ! pionship Wethered ?vas beaten, 4?3, ? in rather easy fashion by F. E. Fegler i in the first round. Naturally, when he entered the open > championship, his name was not taken with any great seriousness. The Miracle Up to the St. Andrews meeting | Wethered had only been noted for play i ing in flashes, and more often than not 1 this flash would extend to only nine i holes. After soaking a mighty wallop | from the tee, driving as far as Raynor I Mitchell?further than any amateur j now playing?he seemed to be through, ; He has never been noted as a good put j ter, and his pitching, while brilliant at I times, has never held up. When the tall young Oxford stai ; took 153 for his first two rounds ii ! the British open, six strokes back o: j Hutchison in first place, no notici j whatsoever was taken of the event ex cept a mild surprise that he had don< so well. The first real shock came when ht finished his third round with a re markablo 72, breaking the amaten record of the course held by Black well; for he was now in filth place while Hutchison had dropped back int. i eighth place with a 79. This 72 was held to be a tremendou upset, but still the Oxfordian was no ' taken seriously. The vital round, th | totting journey, was still ahead. Her ! was the round to break the souls o I the stalwarts, and Wethered had neve been noted as a mighty finisher, even in much slower company. His start was bad. For six holes he floundered and the "I-told-you-so's" proclaimed their wisdom. Then came the miracle, when Wethercd suddenly rallied and played the last twelve holes five strokes better than even 4's for one of the most remarkable stretches, consid? ering all attendant circumstances, in the history of golf. Beyond AH Dope So it happened that a young amateur with no record of achievement to speak of in his own circle played the ancient course 3 strokes better than it had ever been played before by the great? est professionals. In place of weakening he grew stronger as the finish line nearod, bio 143 for the final day being a record that had never been broken. After giving Wethercd due credit for fine skill and good fighting courage how does one explain such upsets? How could any young, untried ama? teur succeded where such stars ns Abe Mitchell, George Duncan, Jim Barnes, J H. Kirkwood. Ted Ray, Arnaud Massey, Walter Hagen and many others were unequal to the task? Anything might happen in eighteen? even thirty-six?holes. But a seventy two-hole medal test over a champion? ship course is the most searching test of them all, where only the great can survive. Wethered came forward much as Ouimet came at Brookline eight years ago, but no one before this had considered Wethered a Ouimet 01 a Tolley. It will bo interesting to see now just what eifect this amazing showing will have upon his future game. It may bring about that confidence which he had lacked before and therefore be s big factor in making him a new amateur star, another Hilton or an? other Ball. Or it may have beer merely one of those streak flashes that lead to nowhere. The story has beer printed that ho intends to como t< America shortly to take part in oui next amateur championship, and cer tainly no one will be more welcome He is a very fine sportsman in everj way and his entry will add quite j little to the occasion. Whatever hap pens for the future, he has achievei one of those golfing miracles that fo: sheer surprise must take its place nea: the ton of the list.

So light were the breezes that many of the craft found it impossible to reach the start? ing line off Sea Gate ill time to cross the line on their scheduled guns. For? tunately, the wind freshened as the afternoon advanced, and it was possi? ble for the larger craft to sail the full course. The smaller boats were all stopped at the end of the first round. John R. Brophy, chairman of the race committee of the New Rochelle Yacht Ciub, an old lower bay racing man, returned to his old cruising ground to run the race for the Brook? lyn organization. He was helped by Richard Rummeli and I. L. Beebe. The j committee picked a course that took the craft from the starting line off | Sea Gate to Fort Hamilton, Benson ! hurst and home. In a light breeze and against a head j wind and tide the yachts found con j siderable difficulty in weathering the j first mark. They were all hung up for | a good half hour. Finally the breeze ! freshened and they were able to con? tinue. Interest centered in the Victory class. Three yachts raced. The win , ner proved to be Bois de Belleau, the property of Commodore F.

Fred Anderson Beaten In Title Net Match The great surprise of the first an? nual Quensborough championship sin? gles lawn tennis tournament, which was resumed on the clay courts of the Kew Garden Country Club, at Kew Gardens, yesterday afternoon, was the defeat of Frederick C. Anderson by Dr. S. E. Davenport, jr. Anderson never had control of his shots, either off the ground or overhead, whereas Davenport was generally steady and often tricked Anderson by changing the length of his shots, Paul Martin was another favorite to fall before a supposedly weaker player, Frederick D. Powers. The latter won by a score of 9?7, 6?3. Allen Behr was the third strong contender to go down, yielding to Leonard W. Knox, of Glen Ridge, N. J., by a score of 8?6, 6?4. Behr was steady, but his shots lacked their usual finishing power. Dr. Davenport is now in the final round. The summaries follow: Queens tennis championship singles, i second round?F. D.

College Tennis Title Captured By Calif ornian Harvard Pair Victorious in Doubles; Cambridge-Ox? ford Team Loses to U. S. PHILADELPHIA, July 2.?East and West divided honors in the intercol? legiate lawn tennis championship tournament on the courts of the Merion Crickot Club at Haverford, to-day. Philip Neer, of Leland Stanford Uni? versity, California, won the singlen title, while the doubles championship went to a Harvard pair, J. B. Fenno jr.. and E. W. Feibleman. Neer defeated Fenno in the final of the singles in a five set match, 8?6, 6?1, 6?4, 1?6, 6?1. The doubles final also went to five sets, Fenno and Feibleman winning from Edmund Levy and Wallace Bates, of the University of California, 6?4, 7?5, 10?12, 8?6, 6?4. The match progressed evenly until the fourth set, which Fenno took, six games to one, and many believed his easy victory in the set assured him the title. But Neer rallied, and by employ? ing a fast service and a backhand cross court slice, won the next set and match. His cross court chop passed the Harvard player many times when he tried to fight his way to the net. It is the first time the American in? tercollegiate title ever has gone to California, Harvard has won it six? teen times. The point score: F?RST SET Near.... 4410300 5 3?20?3 Fenno... 12445443 5?32?6 SECOND SET i Neer. 5 4 4 5 4 5 4?31?8 !

In the early stages of; the match it was the fine net play of Feibleman that saved the first and sec? ond sets from going to the Pacific Coast j racquet wielders. Yet it was this same player who caused the match to be prolonged until almost sunset, for he failed to put steam enough behind easy kills, thus left openings for the Cali fornians to drive down the alleys. Levy's work, however, was the feat? ure of the match. Instead of playing! a conservative same, as the other three did, he smashed the ball whenever the opportunity presented itself. The all-American collegiate tennis team won seven out of nine matches i from the combined Oxford and Cam ! bridge ,team of England later in the | day on the same courts. The British players showed a deep ! court game in the singles, relying upon j fast driving to overcome the Amer- ! ! icans' net play. The visitors were not j ! in their best form, as they have had j ! only one workout since their arrival, nor were the courts, heavy with the recent rains, in the best condition for j ! play. II. C. McCarthy, of Cambridge, who ! ? captains the team, appeared to be the j | best player of the lot. McCarthy, whose home is in New Zealand, never- ' theless was twice defeated here this j afternoon, first in the singles by Philip ; I Neer, of Leland Stanford University, who earlier in the afternoon captured the American intercollegiate title, and ! again in the doubles, when paired with M. D. Horn, of Cambridge, he lost j again to Neer, paired *with another Leland Stanford player, James Davies. 1 One of the visiting team members who won a match is an American, now a Rhodes scholar at Oxford. He is | Clark Hopkins, of New Haven, Conn., who defeated Carl Fischer, of the Uni? versity of Pennsylvania, 1?5, 6?4. The only other member of the English team tt? Win was R. R. P. Barbour, of Oxford, an Australian, who won from W. T. Mallery, of Cornell, 6?0, 6?3. Fritz Bastian, Indiana University, de? feated J. W. Lowry, Cambridge, C?1,6?1. Andrew Morgan, University of Pennsyl? vania, defeated M. T>. Horn, Cambridge, 4?6, 6?4, 6?3. P.. N. Bradley, Harvard, defeated C. F. Hepburn, Oxford, 10?s. 6?1. McNeil Drumwright and C. E. Granger, of the University of Texas, de? feated Clark Hopkins and R. R. P. Bar? bour, of Oxford, 6?4. 6?1. J. Davies and P. Neer, Leiand Stanford, defeated H. C. McCarthy and M. J). Horn, Cambridge, 6?1, 5?7, 6?2. Car) Fisher and Andrew Morgan. University of Pennsylvania, de? feated J. W. Lowry, Cambridge, and C. F. Hepburn, Oxford. 6?8, 6?3, 6?0. ? Bowman Reaches Finals in Quaker Ridge Tennis Herbert L. Bowman reached the final round of the Quaker Ridge tennis championship at the New Rochelle Ten? nis Club yesterday by defeating Ar? mand L. Bruneau with the loss of only one game, the sets going at 6?1, 6?0. The final round will be played next! Saturday when Bowman will face Al- I fred D. Hammett. In the doubles H. M. and W. C. Rein- j hardt, after a hard three-set match j with B. Sheridan and K. Stoddart, ad- j vanced to the semi-final. They won at 1?6, 8?6, 6?3. $35,000 for" Soccer Star GLASGOW, July 2?A great sensa? tion has been caused in Scottish league circlos by the tremendous transfer fee of $35,C00 placed upon James McMul lan, of Partick Thistle, which, if paid by the Newcastle United Club of the j English league, which is very anxious j to secure his signature, will smash all j past records.

Beekmaii Wins Twice on Nassau Club Courts Advances to Round Before Semi-Final in Invitation Tourney at Glen Cove The annual invitation lawn tenr.ls J tournament of the Nassau Country ! Club, at Glen Cove, Long Island, began yesterday afternoon on sodden turf ! courts, with a total of forty-six play? ers drawn in the singles. In spit? of the two days' delay in the starting i of the tourney such fine progress was made under the able management of Walter L. Pate, chairman of the tonr j namcnt committee, th^t one player, i Leonard Beekman. reached into the j -nund before the semi-final, and almo^c ! the entire field went -through two j rounds of play before darkness called i a halt. Beekman, who drew a hyc in the I first round, defeated James D. F.wing, lof Yonkers, at 6?4, 3?-0, 6?1, in the leeond, and ther. eliminated R. Mason i Kirkland by a score of 6 3, 6?2, in I the third brackets. Beekman was quick to come up to the j net position to volley and his forehand i drives were forcing shots that gave j him many openings. Ewing put up a i stirring struggle against Beekman, winning the second set by clever volleying and driving. Washburn Beats Herndon Watson M. Washburn, member of last year's Davis ('up team, won his | first match* by defeating young E. T. ' i Herndon, of Princeton University, by? I a score of 6?3, 6?2. There was not much of a bound io the ball as Wash burn drove low and flat through his opponent's deep court. Alfred D. Hammett found his chop stroke a most puzzling offense against | his opponents in the two matches he i won yesterday. There was scarcely any '? bound to the ball after it left the ! ground, and the veteran back-court S player, G. A. L. Dionne, of the West 1 Side Tennis Club, was the first to suc? cumb, being defeated by Hammett at j 6?0, 6?3. Dr. William Rosenbaum, who had de? feated Ludlow Vanderventer, of New _ ?Jersey, in his opening match, was the' : next victim to fall befcr" Hammett, i losing at 6?3, 6?4. Hammett was I very steady, and although Rosenbaum managed to cut off many shots by tak? ing the ball on the volley, Hammett often scored the deciding points with nicely angled shots across court. The singles will be brought into the semi-final round to-day. The summaries follow: Nassau Country Club cup. mon'? singles (first round)?S. Howard Vosh?Il defeated Henrv H.
