...match a lusty Irish ballyhoo startling in tennis* although routine in Mr. Curley's boxing and wrestling enterprises. He had the rivals issue derisive statements about each other which neither would under any circumstances have uttered. Curley further built up Tilden by sending him on tour with Karel Kozeluh for 37 matches, of which Tilden won 33. Then he posted $10,000 for the best three out of five matches between Tilden and Richards...

Even in the semifinal round neither had any trouble. Kozeluh eliminated famed chop-stroking Howard Kinsey of San Francisco, 6-0, 6-2, 6-3. Richards took Harvey Snodgrass 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Critics, believing Richards...
