TILDEN KEEPS
CHAMPIONSHIP
William Johnston is Deci
sively Defeated in Final
Match of Tournament
FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept, 2.
(By The Associated Press.
William T. Tilden II. is the king
of American tennis.. The Phila
delphia racquet wizard removed
any doubts on this score when
he swept to victory , this after
noon over his veteran California
rival, William M. Johnston and
won the national singles cham
pionship for the fifth successive
year. . ' 1 -. .
It took Tilden 48 minutes to
batter his gallant but badly beat
en little opponent in submission
by scores of 6-1, 9-7, 6-2,. and es
tablish not only his pre-eminent
position among American racquet
stars, but recognition also as the
world's champion, for he emerg
ed triumphant from one of the
greatest international fields ever
gathered.
A gallery of 7.000. considerably
smaller than yesterday, had come
in expectation of a keenly fought
battle with "Little Bill" giving
his opponent a brilliant tussle.
The onlookers saw the super
Tilden, ; the, champion racquet
genius at his greatest heights.
Except for a spirited rally in
the second set which he forced
to deuce several times and even
threatened to capture," Johnston
was out stroked, out generated
and outclassed. It was the fifth
time Tilden had vanquished John
ston in the six successive years
they have met In the national
championships and although he
allowed the : California star few
er games' the last few years, the
titleholder's victory today was as
convincing as any previous trL
umph. The two' Bills' will team
together to form America's first
line' of defensee in the David cup
challenge round next week.

day In the women's national golf

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
Whatever the outcome of the labor
department's Investigation of
charges on which the deportation
of Luis-Angel Firpo, Argentine
heavyweight boxer, ; is sought, it
was believed in sources close , to
the department tonight that there
was little chance that the proceed

scheduled fight with Harry Wills,
negro fighter, Sept. 11.
. Assurance that the department
was taking every means of expe
diting its investigation of the
charges filed by thim and his as
sociates against Firpo was given
the Rev. William S. Chase of New
York, today., when ; he conferred
again i. with Acting Secretary
White. Even should the jlnvestU
gation lead to & hearing before, an
immigration board and a subse
quent order or j Firpo's deporta-

that he would have recourse to the

informed, by Mayor Giesv that th
petition had been received too late
to receive action that year, but
that the grade had- been establish
ed and the preliminary work com
pleted. The question of the street
car tracks has been responsible
for the lack of pavement this year.
It was pointed out that Walter
