equivalent to the worlds highest racquet
honors. From 1910 to 1913 he won the
English singles at Wimbledon, defeating
Mclaughlin in 1918 after the Californian
had won the allcomers tournament and
with it the right to challenge Wilding az
holder of the title.
Wilding, who was born in 1883, was one
of the giants of the tennis courts He
possessed great strength and endurance
and while his game lacked the finesse Of
Brooks it was wonderful combination
of strength and skill. He learned his
early play from his father, who was a
player Of much ability in the early school
of Australasian tennis, having won the
New Zealand doubles title seven times
once with his son as partner.

knocking a home run in the Bowdoin
game and bringing in the winning
run, again proved the man of the
hour by smashing out three Dagger

allowing but four hits, Hackett and
Gilman each getting two. Driscoll
had allowed but three up until the
seventh.
Names Scores
All Names scoring came in the
first. James passed Lawry, the first
man up. He reached second on a bad
throw by Deasey, and went home on
clean hit to right field by Hackett.
Gilman connected safely and sent
Hackett, who had reached second on
Campbell's error, around for another
rally. Ruffner struck out. James
gave the second pass of the inning
to Rowe. He stole second and while
the ball was being exchanged between
second and home, Gilman slid in safe
ly. 1t looked like another score for
Maine in the third when Hackett and
Gilman each got hit and Ruffner
was passed, but Hackett was caught
at second and Reardon flied to La
Fleur. Two more passes were given
in the sixth, but after that no Maine
man reached. first.
One of the distinct features of the
game was the fielding of Gorham, who
accepted five difficult chances, three
in one inning without an error.
Careful base running might have
given Colby tally in the second, but
Allen led off first too far and was
caught between bases while giving
Deasey a chance to get in home,
which he failed to do.
Aliens Smash
The game was hard fought and in
teresting from the second to the sew
enth. Then began the real excite
ment that brought the 1900 people
who witnessed the game. to their feet.
Colby's lucky seventh" filled them
with plenty of fighting spirit for the
next inning, which proved to be
Names undoing. Fraser, the first
man up placed neat single in right
field. Simpson followed with an easy
grounder to short, who made poor
throw that Gilman dropped. This put
two Colby men on. Campbell put up
an easy fly to Gilman, and DriscoH
famed LaFleur. Deasey drew pass,
and with the bases full, the crowd
begged Allen for hit. Living up to
his reputation as a pinch hitter he
smashed the, ball into center field just
a little too short for Gorham to touch
and it rolled while the three men sped
around with. Allen close on their heels.
Allen stopped on third, and a pretty
single by James enabled him to bring
in his second tally. Smith flied to
Gorham.
Maine tried hard to come back in the
NINTH sending in Baker and Phillips as
pinch hitters. The former popped up an
easy foul for Deasey and Phillips gave
Fraser his only fly of the game.

The death Of Anthony F. Wilding as
the result Of a bullet wound received
in battle in the Dardanelles, marks
the passing of one Of the worlds great
est tennis players. His ranking was,
Of course, a matter Of personal opinion,
some experts placing both Brookes and
Mel .oughlin ahead Of the New zea-
lander, but in recent years his name
never failed to appear in the lists Of
the first three tennis players OF the
world. Wilding's record in the Davis
cup matches alone stamps him as one
Of the greatest racquet wielders of all
time.
Wilding made his initial appearance
as Davis cup player in 1905, being at
that time % years Of age. From that
year until 1914 he played in six of these
