He has a greater variety of stroke*- and is more versatile than any other living tennis player and prob- ably than any other player that ever lived. He has done more than any one person to riiake American tennis famous the world over. His serves and drives are terrific; his foot work is perfect; he studies his adversary's game and adjusts his own game to produce a perfect defensive and offensive style ---Otjjtefii :..,T.,:^...-fer^;.r;::- â- "â- "----^fâ€"---â- â- â- 'â- â- â- >/ -â-  : '.'

If he had Tildetfs versatility, he might rank first. Tilden has discovered the way to handle Johnston's faultless strokes and beautiful shots. Johnston lacks the versatility, to change to an- other style of j^lay, while Tilden con- tinually varies his game, so that no op- ponent is ever sure what sort of bound the next ball will have. His volleys from near the serve line are noted for 1 their• aocitracy and decisiveness; he vol- 1 |eys ^better than Tilden.

L. "Sandy" Wiener "^- A. h. ("Sandy") Wiener, "Big BiU' Tilden's boy protege, has been playing around the country with Tilden as a doubles partner for the last two years In 1922, "Sandy" played in the Illinois State Tennis Tournament at Skokie and is entered there again this year, It is sometimes complained by the spectators that "Big Bill" takes too many of the plays that "Sandy" should take himself. However, "Sandy" can take care of himself, and does Some surprising work and plays some splendid shots when they come his way. "Big Bill' Tilden is the foremost ex ponent of the development of boy ten- nis players. He takes "Sandy" around the country with him, it is believed, as a striking example of what a boy tennis player can do if he has a chance. "Sandy" is expected, to cut- a big figure at the Illinois State at Skokie this year, but tennis fans question, whether he can stand up against George Lett and some of ^ local boy players. *'*:^* wilterM' Haye|. ICS- Walter T. Hayes, of Chicago, Cham- pion of the Illinois State Tennis Tour- nament for several years, until defeated in 1922 by Tilden, ranks No. 1 in the Chicago Tennis Association rating. In 1922 he was runnerup in the Illinois State, but was beaten readily by Tilden. Hayes was also 1921 singles and doubles (with "Cliff" Hurd) National Clay Court Champion. ^'â- /':^fi0^-^:']%' Hayes is a steady, conservative and consistent player.
