stamina Bill is no bounding kid He is some some- somewhere somewhere where here around thirty-four thirty years old Everyone knows what hard tennis tournament tennis means It is a much more continued grind than base base- baseball baseball baseball ball or football It means a lot Jot of I sprinting and quick starting and whirling for two or three hours at a stretch I Yet Tilden has been using his legs l gs for all they th y could travel since early February They ha e been chasing tennis balls for him to hit in 11 competition competition tion from California through Florida up the Atlantic coast on through Ger Ger- Germany Germany Germany many Holland France and England England- back through the middle west and then on through the cast east again again again-a a tournament every ever ever week or almost every week for seven or eight months If I Tilden can step into the Davis cup war ar and the national champion champion- championship ship with any great amount of nerve reserve

challenger trying a comeback will lose a lot of this popularity if 1 he wins at Chicago For there will be numerous parties then who will want to know what it tt is all about and just what happened at I Philadelphia Besides Dempsey will then theis no longer be the under dog He lie will be b on top again and the populace likes a shining target silhouetted above the throng No matter who wins Mr
