8 4al THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1920. .Before Record Tennis Gallery Williams Meets Defeat at Hands of Johnston in National Championship JOHNSTON RISES TO . HIS BEST TENNIS fliumpion Defeats It. Norris ypniianis 2d in Spectacu lar Match. By SAMITBL J. BROOK M A N . The name domed determination, the samo steadiness In a pinch and the same ability to rise to the occasion that havs been so characteristic ofchls play since first hn readied the raaks of titular c untenders, carried William M. Johnston """ to victory over n. Norrls Williams !d In the fourth round of he national ten nis championship at Forest Hills yes terday. Williams flashed some spectac ular tennis against the champion, call ing on all his strategy and speed, hut when a stroke meant the winning or the toeing of a crucial game Johnstoa stuck to his task, clung to his control and nutsteadled him. That In a few words tella the story of a match that was wit nessed by a record tennis gallery, a throng that Jammed nearly every avail able foot of space In the staaiis and on the clubhouse porches. More than 10,000 tennis fans were on hand. Johnston had a fight on his hands from the start, for Williams, with h!s i h ii nee for the championship at stake, was goln great guna In streaks. He Wept the champion travelling at top peed, hitting hard and playing the lines with marvellous control at times, but all of his sparkling work was aullltled by his failure to come through at the criti cal stagas. by his tendency to errors when errors were most costly. Arid so the match ended in straight seta, (i 3, 84, 76. There was one period late In the tus sl when Williams appeared to bo on his way toverhaullng his rival. The latter had two sets to his credit whei the former champion staged a spirited rally and Jy some brilliant stroking marked by bold shots that dusted the sidelines or whined Into tho corners, he ran Into a lead of 5 2 In the third set. It looked almost certain then tiiat the. match would require a fourth set nt least, hut It was aot to be. The danger of losing the set served only to arouse all the pluck and light in the champion's makeup and coming from l hind he won five games In a row, crush ing Williams" hopes by his persistency ;ind daring. At one(lme In the eighth came Williams hadVantage point and was within a single stroke of the set, hut Johnston came la for a sharp volley and sent It back so forcibly that Wlll ams, In his haste, netted the ball. The champloa never gave him another chance. A Record Gallery. It was n day of tennis thrills,, nnd they evidently were anticipated, for the nttendance was nearly twice as large an on any previous day. The trains that brought In the crowd from the city fairly bulged out at the sides, nnd long before any of the matches were staged every section of the grand stand was filling up rapidly. Barring perhaps the final day the attractions were the best of the tournament, for the event had reached the interesting stage where with two or three exceptions only con tender survived. In addition to the Johnston-Williams match, which was magnet enough by itself. William T. Tllrlen ' Id, the sensation of the Brit ish chnmptonehtp at Wimbledon, was on for a match with youtrful Vincent Rlch srds. with whom he lmd won a national doubles championship two years ago, and there was promise of some great ti nnls, too. In the contest between Wat son M. Washburn and Charles 8. Car land and between Wallace V. Johnson ind Roland Roberts. All of the matches lived up to promises, and the applause that greeted the rallies was continuous. Tllden scored over his young oppo nent three sets out of four, but Richards made a great fight of it, won one set at 6 -3 and forced the internationalist to extend himself in two others. In the end, however, the superior speed of the player who stands second In na tional rank proved too much for the vouth. In the last set, when TIJden reached the height of his skill and served and drove wtlh exceptional power, Richards, despite his superb vol 1 ving, his sharp angled returns and at times sensational getting, failed to win a game. For a youth of 17 Richard's showed surprising knowledge of strategy and wonderful control of strokes. He was all confidence, too, which la characteris tic of him, no matter how gre.it the player on the other side of the net. He liegan by breaking through Tllden's ser- Ice and he had a lead of 3 1 before Tllden struck his stride and counted five Raines In a row for the set. The boy had been wary about playing his usual net game at the odLset and Tllden had outplayed him from deep court get ting more speed and better following through to his shots. In the second set, however, Richards thiew caution to the winds and began coming up to get the full benefit of his highly developed volleying game. His success was start ling. Tllden, unprepared for the spurt, found his best drives volleyed back for placement an his lpbs smashed to un guarded corners of the court. The youth also sent tho ball back at angles that inaile his volleys untakable and had Tllden sprinting from one skle to the other. There was only one break through service in the set. Tllden losing the eighth game by serving two double faults. Thau was enough to give Rich ards the Mi at 6 3. Tho third 3et was spectacular In the extreme, chiefly because of the remark able recoveries by both players. Davis (ni Player Beaten. Charles 8, Oarland, Junior member of the Davis Cup team, went down to de feat at the hnnds of Watson M. Wash burn, who stands as the only New York survivor in the tournament. The match ended in straight sets, but the score was close all the way, 7 5. 75, 7 5. Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia broke up the effectiveness of Roland Roberts's driving game by chopping from start to finish and repulaed the Callfornlan's net attack by passing him repeatedly with well directed strokes to either side. Tn beat the clay court champion could do was to take one set by the sheer speed and forcefulness of his play, setting a pace that ho was unable to maintain to the end. All these were the outstanding matches of tho day. The other winners were Clarence J. Grlflln of California. who disposed of Alan J. Lowrey In straight sets; Walter Wesbrook of De troit, who triumphed with equal ease over H. Broockmann, the New England collegian; 9. Colket Caner, the Massa chusetts champion, who had no trouble eliminating l.yle K. Mohan, and Irving C. Wright of Boston, who furnished a mild sensation by his straight set vic tory over Ralph H. Burdlck of Chicago, one of the leading players of the middle West Thus Uio tournament narrowed down to eight survivors In the round be fore the semi-final. In Justice to Wtllams It must be said that he played the latter half of his match with Johnston with a weakened ankle that he turned during the fifth game of the second set. Apparently It bothered him tg an appreciable ex tent, although he denied after the match that It affected his play at all. After the mishap Williams seemed to be fa orlng tho left ankle when serving and he did not show quite his usual speed In getting around the court. But he brought off his strokes with no-lots of To-day'a Feature TennU Matches At i r. m.-wuhm t. mm m. rMUeXtM. vs. Walter Waaksaak, pa ttest) ii. Caikes Caaer, IkwUu, vs. Irving C. Wright, Beaton.

When the rivals did come to the forward court It waa not to force a net attack but to meet a short return. From the start It was apparent that service waa to prove little or no factor. In the first six games service was broken through five times, Johnston performing the feat three times and Williams twice, which gave teh champion the lead of 4 I. Williams was trying for the corners and the side lines right from the start and was bringing off startling place ments that kept the gallery In. a high state of excitement. But Johnston was outsteadying him and winning the ma jority of his points on Williams's er rors. In every one of tho three ser vice games which he lost Williams con tributed a double fault and at least two other errors.. He rallied toward the end of the set and stroked consist ently, hut the champion had too much of a lend for him and ended the set In his favor C 3. In the second division of play, unlike the first, games went on service until the seventh, when Williams broke through lor a lead of 4 3. He was cut ting the lines, taking all sorts of chances and for a while was earning nearly two points for one. I'nfortunately he was unable to maintain the same daring play successfully, for after tho seventh game he crowded too many errors on top of spectacular shots, tripping up frequently on chances that should not have given him any trouble at all. In the eighth game he had a good opportunity of In creasing his lead to 5 3, but a costly double fault and two drives out of court checked him. Johnston broke through service and in the next game made the score i 4 In his favor. Then came the game that was either to give Johnston the set at S 4 or to enable his opponent to pull up to 5 all. It proved to be the longest game of tho match, and from flmt to Inst was repleto with fascinating tallies and startling recoveries. After being seven times within a point of the set Johnston finally won It, hut Williams threw away somn golden opitprtunllles and In the end presented the game to his opponent by double faulting at the critical mo ment. mm A Proailains Spurt. Still hopeful. Williams opened the third set with another rally and by get ting great speed and depth to his shots compelled Johnston to hasten his strokes, with a consequent loss of direction. He broke through the champion's service in the first game, yielding only one point, nnd then won the second game on his own service at love. In tho third game he forced the poltltj to deuce four times before Johnston could end It In his favor." and then resuming where he had left off in the second game Williams took two more games In a row and wes out In front, 4 L They broke through one another's service In the next two games, which were marked by the live liest sort of rallies. Both men were try ing for decisive shots nt every stroke, but remarkable recoveries kept the rallies going. With the score 5 2 against him Johnston began his task of saving the set. It looked hopeless, particularly in the next game when Williams, bringing the score to deuce on his own service, earned the vantage point snd was with in a stroke of his goal. But Johnston was fighting his hardest then, getting everytlilng back and bringing all hi speed and (.kill Into play to drive his returns home for valuable points. He never let up an Instant after that and under the pressure of the Callfornlan's attack WMrams fell Into errors and found the set slipping o.way from him. While his spurt was on Johnston varied speed and length repeatedly and came up more often than he had In the other sets to finish off a point with a smash or volley. The champion went on un checked for Ave gomes In a. row and that ended the set and match. Tho summary : Feurth Hound First Quarter 0. Colket Canei. Boston, defeated Lyle K.

Golfers having but recently held the greatest open championship In the his tory of American golf, now are invited to prepare themselves for the greatest national amateur title competition. Su perlatives) these days come aa easily in golf as they do In the anew business, yet thero is no blinking facts. The tourna ment which will run through the whole of next weak on the links of the Engi neers Club at Roslyn, L. I., will set a mark for amateur golf competition In this country far beyond the last high notch cut In mil. when Harold H. Hil ton came over from England and won the American crown, and beyond that, too, of the following year, when Hilton, in defence of his laurels, was accom panied to Wheaton by that sterling golfer and sportsman, Norman Hunter, numbered, alas, among the victims of the great war. This time Great Britain Is represented by her champion, Cyril J. H. "njlley, backed up by the Oxonian amlter, Roger Wethored : Lord Charles Hope and Thomas D. Armour of Ithlanburn, Scot land, one of the favorites to win the British laurels this year at Hulrfleld, and who later showed of what stuff he Is mado by defeating Tolley In the tlnal of the FYench championship. Never be fore has such a gathering of celebrities entered for the American amateur classic. But the British Empire's representa tion will not be eulsTsly summed up in that quartet from the mother country, for Canada Is sending a team of ten and three substitutes for the interactional match with the United States to-morrow, and this group, of course, will be entered en bloc. While it la the consensus of opinion that the homo players will win with something to spare In the team match some of the Canadians are liable to prove themselves extremely dangerous In tho championship. The majority are seasoned tournament players and In the group are no less than four who hsve won the amateur title of the Dominion. These arc C. B. drier, of Boyal Mon treal, present holder; William Mc Luckle of .Montreal, last year's winner ; Frlti Martin of Hamilton, and the grandest Roman of them all, George S. Lyon. Beymmtr Lyon, son of the vet eran George : G. H. Turpln, F. G. Hobllt zel, W. J. Thompson, Frank Thompson and Norman Scott are the remaining members of the visiting side. American Team Selected. - The team selected "by W. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg, to do battle with this array also has been announced. It is an exceedingly strong, one consisting of X Davidson Herron, Oakmont ; Frances Ou'met, Woodland: Charles Brans, Jr : Edgewater; Robert A. Gardner. On wentsia; Bobby. Jones. Atlanta: Max It. Marston. Marlon: Oswald Kirkhy. En glewood; Gardiner W. White. Nassau ; John il. Anderson. Slwanoy, nnd the captain. W. C, Fownes, Jr. it will be observed that such players as Jerome D. Travers. formerly national open amateur champion ; Jesse Guilford of Boston ; D, E. Sawyer, the metropoli tan title holder, and Jessse Sweetser, tho Intercollegiate champion, do not find a place. However, there Is not mom for til the stars on a team of ten. The main tlilrg is that It Is representative nnd fit to look after Itstlf. From the above It will be seen tha. America's answer to the foreign chal lenge has been mado in no uncertain tones. All the home talent practically has been trundles! out for the big Inter national championship, and every one Is occupied with the important business of getting Into topnotc' form. In the umt ,.r ..uirinca made yesterday at the office of the V. 8. Q. A. secretary. W- nant D. Vamlerpool. there are exru record. As a matter of fact, there are Z!9 players In line, for it was not noticed wnen me juurinn i,.ua , . 1 i, that the name of W C. Fownes. Jr., had been omiueu. me, .,.,.,. f hu ( that t ie entry or toe. Plttsburger had never arrived at the U. S. G. A. offices. Tho previous high mark for the na- chamnionshlD of the United States Golf Association was set at Brookllne In 1910, when :n names were received and 203 players competed. However, that wa before the national handicap of the U. S. Q. A. eligibility list went Into effect. When Hilton was here In 1911 1S6 entries were received for the Apawamls play. There were 86 playors at Wheaton, 111., when Hilton defended the following year, 149 at Garden City in 1913, 115 nt Ekwanok In 1914, 142 at Detroit In 1915, and 160 entries, with 157 actual starters, at Merion In 191(1. In any event, with field of more than 200 It will be necessary to start the qualifying rounds, which aro to be played simultaneously over the Engi neers and North Shore courses on Mon day, at 7 o'clock In the morning. In the pairing of tho players no favoritism was shown, all names being drawn from the hat. Not a single couple was placed. Britons Get Early Start. Among the top-notchers Lord Charles Houe nnd S. Davklson Herron, the American champion, had the luck to be drawn together and the lmd luck to get 8:12 for their starting time. They play their first round at North Shore. At that Lord Hope is no worse off than his compatriot, Roger Wethcred, who follows at 8:1, with C. L. Maxwell of Trenton. It would seem that fate has singled out the Britons as the early birds, for T. D. Armour comes on at North Shore with Gardiner W. VWilte of iassau nt 8:20, In the third couple, a ret by 9:30, on the samo course, Tolley also will l on I his wsy In company with .lames R. , Hydo of South Shore. In between these Chick fc,vans and B. Warren Corkran of Baltimore tee up at 8:56 at North Shore, while at 10:20 Francis Oulmet and James D. Htandlsh of Detroit will try out the Engineers links. Bob Gardner has drawn Reuben Bush of New Orleans as his partner, and 10 o'clock as his starting time. These two also begin the big week at North Shore. Most of the entrants were on hand yesterday, playing at one or ether of the courses to be used for the qualifying. Oulmet showed fine form for a round of 74. At that lie had a R on the short tenth and the same figure on the elgh- tnth, where he missed a putt. Jesse llford, formerly Massachusetts open 1 champion, had an 83, while Fre l Wright, i the present Bay State amateur title ; holder, had to be content with an 85. ' Among the Canadians observed osi the I Engineers' links were George Lyon and I his son Seymour, Hoblttsel, McLucklo ! snd W. J. Thompson. Tolley, Wethered and Lord Hope also were out practising on the same course. Tolley waa hitting a terrific ball off the tee and seems to be playing In excellent form.

HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT By DA9I1L. desvtuAi 1180. eat The Nun-HnraUl Corporation. DEVELOPMENTS In the national championship tennis tournament ytMderday forecaat tho meeting of William M. Johnaton and Willi'"" T. TUdon 3d, in the) final, and another triumph for the preaent holder of tho title. Our belief In theao conclusions waa Btrengthened when we aw Johnaton forehand Dick WiUlama into Buitolawlon after Tllden had taken the measure of Vlnoent Richards, In tha day" dolnga the work of Johnaton stood out like a Kohlnoor. However, let there "be no mlitake ahoM the exhibition put up by WWIeuna. When the former champion was i gooa ne wo perhaps better than the Calif ornlan. But Johnston proved far the stead ier. Williams played superfine tennis, leading up to 4polnts at wnlc tin n.lght have accomplished something. But then he fooxled his shots tlmo nnd again and tossed away an advantage which he had earned by hard and spec tacular playing. Johnston waa, as a matter of fi.ct, not quite the Johnston of champion ship form. But ho waa ateady enough to win; he was brilliant when he had to be, and above all he proved himself one of the gamest players who ryer went Into a national tournament. This fact came to the fore In a striking Way m the third set after Williams had led at 52 and had hod his man at point set In the eighth game. Johnston's chances for the set at that stage looked like thirty cents, But the gritty little Callfornlan never gave up. The result was hie running five games In succession for the set and the match. WUUams waa careless and his service was poor. He drove deeper and with greater speed and power than did his opponent But Johnston s erand old forehand, supplemented by a fine backhand, proved the more re liable and the better point getter. Williams' use of strokes was not always well thought out. Often the opening called for a soft backhand, but Williams tried a hard forehand and repeatedly netted. His mistakes helped to heat him. But Johnston forced his man Into many an error and besides he was Just Johnston. The title holder showed again that-he is tho greatest "money player" In tennis. We do not mean that he Is not on amateur of the purest ray serene. But we do mean that he la the tennis prototype of Eddie Collins of basobaJl world's series and critical pennant fights. When the urgency for starring ts greatest Johnston stars. Klchards Flays Hlmseir Bligy Jalnst Tllden. The Tllden-Rlchards match was an Interesting one, riot so much as had been expected, from the Tllden side, but from the Richards end of the argu ment. Tllden won easily enough injhe fourth set when he regalnd his con fidence and worked about everything which he tried to scdre a love set. But In the first two seta Richards gave perhaps evan more than he took. In those two sets the onlookers were treated to the speetacle of the British champion permitting a youngster of seventeen to force tho play and set the pace. And a terrific pace It was for Richards. Ho had his more renowned rival on tho run time and again Blmply because Tllden could not gather himself and take the initiative. Toward the end of the second set, which he won with a groat flash of brilliancy, Richards played himself dizzy and had very little left v;hen Tilden roused himself in the third. ItIdie youngster had taken his success more coolly ho might have lasted TcVnger. But he never would have beaten Tllden. Tllden played some beautiful tennis. Particularly was this true when he saw things go his wny. In the fourth set his forehand drives whizzed to tho corners Ilka rlflo shots. He had even more speed and more power than Williams showed later in the afternoon. He had uncanny direction and he seemed to be able to make everything count. Of course, Richards was over whelmed. Anybody who in his overenthuslasm for the young man from Fordham thinks that he has any real chance against the real Tllden is building on a foundation of straw. LEONARD'S TITLE IS NOT IN JEOPARDY No On in Sight to Give Champion a Hard Battle. Br t'lsARLKS V. MATHIflOX. With the declination of Kddle Fltz slmmons to meet Benny Lconatd In a fifteen round contest to a referee's de cision for the world's lightweight title, the champion Is once morn in a very I lonesome position. He has a chip on his shoulder, but apparently there Is no one with courage enough to knock it off. Bo much had Been said of the eager ness of Fltaslramons for a tltln match that his sudden discovery of the fact that he was not In Leonard's class came as a surprise to tho boxing enthuslutsls of tho country. As the cane stands there are hut three other nien In the division who would have a ghost of a chnnce with tho champion. They are Johnny Inindee, Willie Jackson and Low Tendlcr. All of thsie lightweights have for years de manded title bouts with tho champion, and there Is small question that If they now are of tho same mind they can be accommodated. Ho far as Dundee is concerned, there Is small doubt that he will accept a title bout, and ho would make a good show ing against Leonard, although he would be outpointed and probably stopped In a flftoen round encounter. Thero Is good roa,son for the belief that Tendlcr and .Jackson both look at the propostlon the same as Kitxslmmons does. They feel that they are outclassed by Ionard and will doubtless avoid the Issue on the ground of weight. As Dundee is the lightest of the trio, the attitude of the other two is a reflection on their courage. The Parable Aboul the Boxing Champion. Once upon a time there was a Champion of the Lightweight Class who was a very able Champion, and all the World of his Weight feared him worse than Poison (las. He carried a Terrific Clout in his itlght Mitt and his Left was Very Vengeful. In consequence he found It hard to get other boxers to enter tha King with him. Finally ho had to promise his Opponents that he would not administer to them the Famous Wallop Soporific. He boxed many Exhibitions, but had few Fights. He waxed prosperous and fa mous and all tho world admired him. Then came a Boxing Law In New York, -with fifteen round bouts to a decision. This was not to tho liking of tho Champion. Guarantees to Oo Easy no longer could be given. One "Leading Contender" dropped out of the running, while another "Leading Contender" ran out of a match. Tho Chan.-ilon wanted to box before the Home Folks, but nobody wanted to go Into tho ring without one of those Guarantees to Oo Easy. Tho Champion was disconsolate. Tho "Leading Contenders" got severe aches In their bankrolls, but they could not get themselves to yield to the Great Temptation and take a Terrific Sock on the Jaw.

They dig the worms snd keep them In a box filled with wet uarth. Twlcn a day they pour a little milk on the earth and It percolates through. Tha worms revel In tho milky mush and grow In length, fatness and frlsklness. Dr, Benjamin M. Brlggs, president of the I'nlted Anglers League, followed the ex ample of Maloney a Mrlilynn, and the doctor Is enthusiastic over home brewed mixture for -food for worms. "MUk fed worraa." says the doctor, "make the real halt for flounders, blackflsh. epots and weakflsh. It's wonderful, really wonder ful, how fat. Juicy and feroctaua a milk diet will make a worm. How worms do grow en a milk diet. Why, I fed one on milk until It grew so large I ha'd to feed It by use of a hippie and a bottle. 1 gavo the giant worm to Captain John Klein, of Ber gen Beach, ami he used It In catching a TS pound drum fish that was destroying young oysters in Jamaica Bay." "Are you raising other big worms ou a milk diet?" the doctor was aaked. "No," he replied: "it coats too much for milk. I stop feeding them on milk when they (trow to be sixteen Inches long and half an Inch In circumference." THK PltOKESSOIl. striped Bass In the l ower Part of Chesa peake Bay. Last season Jimmy Jordan of Raunt fame, and who will be recalled as the ad vocate of ootton thread fishing, located himself Just outside of Annapolis and ar ranged to take fishing parties out for striped baaa. Reports came back to New York that Jimmy had adopted the aama method to get the baaa aa that need by the Jamaica Bay guides to get weakflsh, and that he was getting them while native guides were falling, and that every one down there was wondering lust how he was managing It. It developed, according to report, that Jimmy was chumming with shrimp, using large quantities, and fishing in the regular way with one shrimp on a small hook at tached to a Jong leader. Stories came along that he was bagging asy quantity of fish while the local method of fiahtng was bring ing In but few. and that he wos getting the larger onra to take hold. The natives as a result were all upset and puzzled anil Jimmy became the envy of all the guides. One well known New York angler who will make long trips In quest of good fishing went to Annapolis last week and had a coujl of days with Jimmy. The fishing was mor or less of a disappointment to him. Tru tie did get Borne stripers, but none over a pound In weight. Perhaps tho fishing dou.i there Is erratic, the same aa here, and per haps the big fellows were off spending thi week end In deeper water outside, but, never. Ummss, they were not there. Striped bass fishing is a most uncertain game, and It takes diligent work to Induce them to take hold. Up In the Susquehanna Itlver from Cnnowlngo all the way down to the mouth they used to get many good elart bass, hut even this fishing has been av off this season. The Msrk Rock Fishing Club used to send out word to its member! many of whom are New Yorkers, when UK stag" of the river waa right. The angler would send In bait (bloodworms) from New lork and slip away to the club. It generally meant fish and fairly big ones, but 1920 haa upaet this calculation, and with the river rlRht and plenty, of bait very few fish have been brought in. Jamaica Bay always supplies a few hisi, some seasons many more than others, hut this eeaaon the bass have been rnlghtv scarce. An occasional one Is taken try trawling through the creeks and nlong tlv sedges, but nothing worth while. The "Cart Wheel," as one of the famous bass places Is known, has supplied very few flah this vear Surf ftshiltK for strlners nn flip I. shore and on the Long Island shore has btwti away under normal. Early In the season a great run of fish came along near Polnl Pleasant and a great many of them eri taken. It looked then as if we were In lm a real old faahioned striped baas reason, hut It eoon petered out. At Long Beach very fe't bass have been taken in the surf, and thei" are more aurf fishermen than ever. The Shrewsbury River fishing has gone off It was quite good for a while, and man. were taken about the bridge ut Hlithlnnd' rnero are lots of fishermen there every night, hut few baas are taken. Chesapeake Bay Is, therefore, not the on' placo that la suffering from the lack nl bass. They are acarce all over the Atlanti seaboard.
