Tilden Outplays Johnson to Win National Tennis Title Fifth Consecutive Year, Champ Downs Coast Net Star in Straight Sets Pliilly Crack Batters Oppo nent Into Submission in 58 Minutes—“Little Bill” Plays Great Game. B.v Associated Crr-s. FORKST HILLS. N. V., Sept. 2.— William T. Tilden, II, is still the king of American tennis. The Philadelphia racquet wizard removed any doubts on this srore when he swept to victory this afternoon over his veteran California rival, William M. Johnston, and won the national singles championship for the fifth successive year. It took Tilden 58 minutes to hatter Ills gallant hut badly beaten little opponent info submission by scores of 8-1, 0-7. 8-2 and establish not only his pre-eminent opinion among Amer ican racquet stars, but recognition also as tlic world's rliavipion, for he emerged triumphant from one of the greatest international fields ever gathered together. A- gallery of 7,000 considerably smaller than yesterday had come In expectation of a keenly fought battle Wffth "little Bil]" giving his rival a biilliant tussle. They had anticipat ed n real struggle between the cahm plon. who had been forced lo five thi<iUing rets yesterday by Vincent Rlqhards and Johnston w ho had crifished the Australian titleholder. OeJald Patterson, in a s-nsational oxlyl'ltion of skill. But instead the onlookers saw the super-TIWen, the chanipion's racquet genuls at its greatest heights. Except for a spirited rally In the second set which he forced to deuce several times and oven threatened to rapiure, Johnston wus outalrok'd. outgeneraled and outclassed. It was ♦he 'fifth time Tilden has vanquished Johnston in the six successive yeads they have met In the national cham pionships and although he allowed the Californian fewer games last year, the tltlehouler's victory today was as con vincing as any previous triumph. Dive of the encounters between the two* "Bills” who will team together to form America’s first line of defense in the Davis cup challenge round next writ have been in the finals. When Tilden completed his triumph characteristically in the final same With two smashing placements and a canlion ball service ace. he left the crowd amid a tremendous ovation. The crown that had come close to toppling yesterday under the spec tacular challenge of Richards, never rested more firmly on the tallic rham pioia's head. Gun Club Stages • Labor Day Shoot 0 _ E> J.

Kinsey Is co-holder of th* nstlons' doubles' crown with his brother Robert, and reached the fifth round In the singles tournament, being pul out by Tilden on Saturday. Selection of two players Is accepted as confirming previous reports that Tilden and Johnston, already defl nitely slated to play In the singles, also would form America's doubles combination, thus earrying the entire burden of rup defense. The Davis rup committee how ever, declined to rommit Itself de finitely on douhles selection and will not make known Its choice, definitely until Just before the chal lenge matches. This decision, as well as other plans for the rup defense, will be left In the hands of a "board of Strategy," also announced tonight, composed of R. Norris Williams, nonplaying captain of the team. Holcomb Ward and Carl Behr. for mer playing stars. They will have full charge of the team's conduct.
