Tennis or Typewriter Will Gil Could He Reign Endure
By Feg Murray analysis wonders if William M. Tilden may follow in the footsteps of Sears and Larned for seven U S National Championships or pivot to careers in film or journalism. It notes Sears held the title 1881 to 1887, Larned 1902 and 1907 to 1911, and Tilden winning the last five years with runner-up finishes elsewhere. It observes only sixteen different national champions in forty four years and questions future dominance.
