Titlcholdcr Has Temperament ThatMakes Him Friends Wherever

He Competes.

The ninth and final of a series ofarticles by William UnmacR. tennis experi,nn the history of Davis cup tennis competition. The American uavis cup team,comprising Watson Washburn. SamuelHardy and William Johnston, now in NewZealand.

BY WILLIAM UNMACK."We have purposely left this final

chapter of the series to devote to BisBill Tilden, world champion tennisplayer. He won the worldtitle in England this year and is thefipst American ever so to succeed.

Tilden, like Johnston, Is a studentof the game of tennis and his great-est pleasure in life Is playing andtalking tennis with boys. Hebelieves in encouraging the youththe hope that inspiration will beRiven for the development or futurechampions.

Tilden is unquestionably the greatest volleyer on any court ."in theworld today. Prior to the Tilden era,as the present year will undoubtedlybe called, there were volleying ex- -perts, men who won by their greatground strokes. There was our owncoast famous "Comet" Maurice McLoughlln with his volleying, but itwas the Mac serve that startled theworld and led to the present day systern of service that Tilden also uses.

Strokes Are Perfected."With the games of the others from

which to draw, a naturally strong andathletic body to permit perfection, atennis head and time to practice.Tilde has perfected many of thestrokes of others to the point atwhich he now stands master of themall, though in the matter of form inexecution of shots Johnston is stillrated as the ideal.

Tilden was born In Germantown,Pa.. February 10, 1893. Although hehas been playing tennis since he wasseven years old, his early record waserratic and it was not until 1918 thatwe find him ranked In the first tenof the country. In 1913 he was rankedin class C, in 1914 he was not rankedat all, in 1915 he had to be contentwith a place In the sixth class, andin 1916 he reached the second ten. Bycompiling a brilliant record and thenfinishing as runner up to Murray inthe national championships, Tildengained second place in the 191S ranking; 1919 found him In the same posi-tion, as runner up to Johnston. Thisyear he will be ranked number oneon his victory over Johnston in thenationals.

Varied Attack Advocated.Tilden is an advocate of a varied

attack, althongh when he goes to thenet when pressed for a point be hasfew superiors at baseline play. Fromthe backcourt be chops perhaps morethan he drives, but when occasion de-mands he is capable of such terrificiorenano. anving mat it nas earneathe sobriquet, the "Tilden wallop.He has several different styles ofservice all of which he controls ex-cellently, though his main serve Isthe generally accepted McLoughlinserve. He serves a high boundingtwist with great effect and variesthis at times with a cannon ball delivery of hurricane speed.

His temperament makes him friendswherever he goes. He is a likeable,pleasant type an'd is ever popularwitn tne ooys. He 19 6 feet 1 Inchtall and weighs 155 pounds.

On this man and on Bill JohnstonAmerica is depending to "lift" theDavis cup. The full Davis team is acredit to American tennis. The man-agerial ability of Sam Hardy, theplaying ability of Tilden, Johnstonand Washburn all go to make up oneof the greatest-team- s that Uncle Samhas ever sent after the cup.

rY .

tion was stated today by Dean Car-penter, chairman of the athletic committee, as follows: '

"The difficulties regarding footballschedules in the Pacific coast confer-ence have resulted from the attemptto arrange for four conference gamesfor each Institution, a thing whichby all is admtted, as a policy, to bedesirable. However, in working-ou-

the detailed schedules, it was foundimpossible to arrange dates in sucha way as to satisfy all of the col-leges." -

It is held by the state college thateither the four-gam- e plan will haveto be abandoned or the conferenceadopt a series of schedules for thecoming four years In which the disadvantages are equitably distributedamong participating colleges. Thetate college stands for the latter

plan and earnestly desires to see sucha plan put In operation, inasmuch asthe adoption of this plan would in- -'

sure the continued success of theconference and to a large extenteliminate the anunal difficulties inschedule making.

ICE TRUST KEEPS FASTESTOF GAMES FROM PORTLAND

Hockey Forced From City by Actions of Firms Despite Popularity andBig Crowds in Attendance.

BT Jj. H. GREGORT.a shame it is that

WHAT no longer is representedthat most exciting of all

sports, ice hockey. Football Is anepic struggle of tremendous moments,baseball rightly deserves its place asthe national game, basketball issnappy and interesting. But forvivid, continuous action and sustainedexcitement, ice hockey is almost in aclass by itself.

The ice hockey season has justopened in Seattle, Vancouver and Vic- -

toria, but Portland, for the third sea-son in succession, is out of the league.Her loss of ice hockey is all the moreregrettable because the game herealways was well supported.

In fact, in the two years Portlandwas in the league, attendance actuallywas better than in any of the otherthree cities comprising the circuit.- What killed ice hockey here wasnot lack of attendance, but the

of the local ice trust. Overhead expenses are very heavy in icehockey because of the costly plantequipment necessary. It is absolutelyessential to the success of the gamethat thJce-makin- g machinery bekept- - busy .through the n

making commercial ice.Local ice dealers wouldn't stand for

this and eventually froze out thegame in Porflaiid,, That isn't Intendedas a pun, either. Now the big IceHippodrome at Twentieth and Mar-shall streets is going to ruin. Theroof is tumbling in and the buildinghas been condemned. The main structure is made of concrete, so is intact,but the roof is. of wood.

-It certainly is too bad. Portland

by every right should have icehockev. The game had built up agreat following here, and every per-son that' ever saw one game becamethereafter a permanent enthusiast.Could it be started here again thereis no question that attendance wouldbe better than ever. There still re-

mains, though, the obstacle of a hard-boile- d

ice trust that wants no com-petition.

The ice hockey league, of course,was composed of professional playersbut ice hockey also is a fine gamefor the amateur. During the time icehockey was thriving here several fastamateur teams were formed andnlaved out a schedule. Among otherteams was one from the MultnomahAmateur Athletic club, which, as werecall it, won the amateur ice hockeychampionship of the city.

In the north Ice hockey this seasonis playing to bigger crowds than everbefore. Seventy-tiv- e nunareu pcuyicattended the opening game at Van-couver, B. C-- . between Seattle andVancouver, which is said to be aloat-i.-n record. Vancouver defeatedSeattle In this game, 2 to 0. -

Even the east is sitting up to takenotice of the coming unio owe-uut-.ri- tv

nf California football clashat Pasadena on New Tear's day aswitness the following . remarks byDavit J. Walsh, sporting editor of theNew Tork World. Incidentally shed-ding a few sidelights on the past ofAndy Smith, tne taiuonna vuat"'TIT 1 V. Bnlrm 11 n BR follOWS!

"The post-seas- football clash orOhio State and California on tne Pas-adena gridiron on New Tear's daynaturally enough does not carry thesame import in the eastern eye asdid the successive trips of Pennsyl-vania and Harvard to the same bowerof the rose, but the popular appealis there nevertheless. It could hardlybe otherwise with the championshipteam's of two sections meeting to adecision. -

"But it Is of even greater momentto football men here in view of thefact that Andy Smith, an easternproduct who took the late Mr.Greeley at his word, is the Californiacoach. For this reason alone Penn-sylvania men in general will watchCalifornia's work in that game withmore than academic Interest.

(' "Smith was once a Penn hero, who

later became a Penn outcast He wasan fullback on that greatred and blue team of 1904 that pre-served its goal line inviolate througha season's schedule, including gameswith Harvard,, the Carlisle- - Indians,Cornell, Columbia, Penn State, Swarth-mor- e,

Lafayette and others."Some years after Smith- was

brought back as coach of the Pennteams. With the golden halo of hisplaying days forming an aura abouthim. Smith was lionized by l

and student body. And therein lies thetale. -

"Smith was not only a good footballcoach; he- was a good mixer, a 'goodfellow.' Everyone liked him. but. histeams couldn't win football games,and ultimately, a dispassionate foot-ball committee gave him the keys ofthe city and showed him how to lockthe gate on the outside.

v"George Brooke, another Penn alum-- ,

nus, was brought on with a big repu-tation from Swarthmore, but the play-ers never ' forgot Andy. It is saidthat during an Important signal drillbefore one of the big games Smithwas discovered on the side line byone of the players and immediatelythe. entire varsity left' Brooke toscratch, the official chin while theywent over to shake hands with Smith.

"The latter has been out on thecoast for some years, but never gotanywhere in particular with hiscoaching until he developed the present California machine. This, if therecords mean anything, is quitefootball team.

"It has, according to statistics,scored a staggering total of 482 pointsin eight games and Is easily thepride and joy of every native eonfrom Portland to Pasadena and return.

"Indeed, they set so much store bythe California team out here theymake bold to announce that Harvardand Princeton did well to decline thePasadena invitation. That, however,like the Rock of Gibraltar, remainsto De seen.

Pesky Sprott, halfback, and CortMajors, captain and guard on theUniversity . of California footballeleven, will play their last intercol-legiate football In the game againstOhio state. Both these stars gradu-ate next spring. They are both in-cluded on the coast elevennamed by George M. Varnell of Spo-kane, who picks the official team forSpalding's guide. Varnell, incident-ally., has been selected to referee thePasadena game.

Pete Stinchcomb, the Ohio Statefootball star, also will be playing hisfinal varsity football game at Pasa-dena. Pete is to enter MassachusettsInstitute of Technology next fallthat is to say, he will enter it unlesshi3 recently announced engagementto an Ohio State co-e- d causes him tochange his plans, which wo.uld benothing new in the history of theworld. After the wedding bells hemay find it a lot tougher job to rustlebeefsteak and onions for two thanto haul forward passes out of theazure and Bcore touchdowns for hiscollege.

Big Ed Walsh, who starred for somany years a.s premier pitcher of theChicago White Sox and who, was oneof the greatest spitballers of alltime, was a mightily pleased manwhen the National and Americanleagues decided recently to let recognized spitball pitchers continue touse the moist delivery for the remainder of their tenure In the majors.Walsh's arm is gone and he no longeris in oaseDan. but the big fellow hasa. fellow feeling for all moist-bea- v

"The spitball is nothing more thana curve ball,'' said Walsh in New Torkthe other day. '"It is not dangerousand it Is not a handicap to batting.Much of the effect of the spitball onthe batter is psychological."

While favoring the spitball, the oldstar is against freak deliveries.

"Russell Ford was the first to usea, freak ball," Walsh said. '"He wasputting floaters and funny twistsover the plate that were mighty hardto hit Everyone was curious to knowwhat he was doing with the ball. Theymight not have known to this day ifhe had taken care of his glove. Oneafternoon, however, one of the boyspicked up his glove and saw the palmcut out.

Bont Between Joe Egan and JimmyDarcjr Expected to Pnt tTp

Stiff Contest.

BT DICK SHARP.Evidently the Portland boxing fans

are Just beginning to see some reallights. Everyone thought that theyhad seen some good cards the pastseveral years, but the one a weekback at the Hellig theater andWednesday night's bill at the MII- -waukie arena were productive oimore action than a half a dozen usualcards.

The biggest bill of the year willhold the boards at the armory nextWednesday night with a card of 42

rounds slated. This was to be In thenature of an after Christmas treat forthe boxing fans who at times thinkthey are not getting their money'sworth. There has not been any com-

plaint from that angle for a monthanyway around here, as the battlershave certainly been putting forth allthat is in them.

Sam Langford. that ebon-hue- d Individual with the spacious verandabut a wicked wallop In either mitt.entertained Clem Johnson In an lmnromDtu engagement at MarshfleldOr., last night and got a good workout. Sam will tangle with Jim Barry,an ambitious young California heavyweight, in the ten-rou- main eventof next Wednesday nights Bin. L.angford has been working like a Trojanon the road and in the gymnasiumsince his fight against Lee Andersonand right today without a doubt Is inthe best condition that he has seenIn four or five years at least. WhenSam is right there is no wrong abouhim. It behooves whoever is battlinghim, whether it is Jack Dempsey orArt Wilson, to watch his gloves anutake care.

Barrv has a good record and is saidto be a first-clas- s fighter. He beatLee Anderson twice, which at leastentitles him to some consideration.

The d semi-fin- al bears asmuch class as the main event and Is

a, more even affair oh paper. JoeEon. the well-know- n Boston middleweight, will box Jimmy Darcywho can fleht when he will. In hislast few starts here he has foughtfrom gong to gong and In a measureredeemed himself for his lacK or ag-

gressiveness against Tommy Gibbonsand several other boys, although ona whole Darcy has put up few unsatisfactory fights here.

Egjin is a clever, shifty boxer, andhits hard enough to make his oppo-nent respect his punch and not taketoo many liberties.

Farmer Lodge, the Minneapolisheavyweight sensation, who meetsTiny Herman in the third ten-rou-

go on the card, will arrive here with-in the next few daye. He is beingsent here by Mike Collins for a littlemore seasoning.

Joe Benjamin Is a wonderful lightweight. After witnessing him In actlon Wednesday night at the.Mllwaukie arena the opinion was firmlymolded In the writer's mind, at least,that there are few men In the country better than Joe

Benjamin broke his hand anew Inthe second round of the match, theround in which he floored Schumanfor a count twice, and was on a fairway to stow Harry away when interference broke up the party.

The fans didn't know that Joebroke his hand and will hardly be-

lieve It, figuring the way In whichhe fought the rest of the bout. Buthe did, and as the result It cost himseveral thousand dollars. Matchmaker Kendall was going Jo use Benjamin against Johnny Dundee of lewTork at the Milwaukle arena NewTear's day afternoon, but Joe's handwill not permit him to box NewTear's day or for several weeks afterthat, probably.

The lanky scrapper handled himselflike a real fighter the other nightand displayed everything that goestoward the makeup of a champion.He showed that he could hit. box withthe best of them and take them ifnecessary. Benjamin will bear watch-ing, even though he may have lost toRichie Mitchell.

-

Then Harry Schuman Is anothermighty good fighter. Schuman madea comeback after being used as aring mop, that few boxers will reg-ister. He had the weight on Joe. butthat didn't avail him much after hec'ot a couple of clouts on the chin.The few pounds in weight didn't bringhim back to life and tell him to keepon fighting and taking them until hefought himself out of the daze.

Schuman weighed 143 pounds. Ifhe Is natural he will weigh 140 forhis next fight and after he takes afew bouts on may then be able toeven get down to 128 pounds. Schu-man Is only a youngster, celebratinghi 21st birthday but five days ago.He will grow some yet and may be amiddleweight before he retires from1tne ring.

Schuman put up a creditable fightand did the same against JohnnySheppard. He has a pleasing styleand the fans have him tabbed as oneboy they can depend upon to battleas long as he can stand up.

Schuman had a $500 forfeit up thathe would make 140 pounds ringside.He failed to do that, thus forfeitingthe money, which was handed over toBenjamin. In the first 'place, it Isridiculous to make a boy post such asum In a bout Involving so little, andIn which either of the principals couldonly earn not to exceed $1500. How-ever, in this case it was not Schu-man, but his handlers, who got him inthe heavy forfeit Jam. They werecocksure that he could make' theweight and tied him up for that sum.Schuman took a lacing and is out $500cash, and the poor house did not helps!his end any.

Joe Benjamin is entitled to themoney and has it. Schuman failed tolive up to an agreement that his handlers made. But it Is Christmas anait would be a big thing for Benjaminto hand back that forfeit. Not thatanyone will think any less of him Ifhe don't, as by all rights the moneyIs his. but on the other hand a lotof people would think a whole lotmore of him. They say Benjamin isbroke, or rather was up to yesterday.So was Schuman. He had a $200 doc-

tor bill staring him in the face. Bcn- -amin was not the only one to suffer

a broken hand. Schuman put his bummitt out of commission too. Howabout it, Joe?
