that only one set should be played.
Kinsey and Craven won the set at SIS,
so It will be noticed that the Jap did
not have much success there, and he had
less in catching the train. Kumagae
evidently has not yet become sufficiently
well acquainted with the ways OF the
country, for II he were he would have
realized that the chances OF catching a
train out Of Seabright are almost NIL.
Later the Californians hooked up with
Holcombe Ward and Bernon s. Prentice.
All Of the court craft Of the latter
veteran pair availed nothing against the
lightning play of the visiting youngsters,
with the result that Kinsey and Craven
won in straight sets at 6-3, GO.
show Lack of Aggressiveness.
In the singles match Tilden and Beck
man came out on the courts looking very
well wilted before the play even started.
The usual practice preceding the match
was somewhat of forecast of what was
to come. Both men seemed listless.
Tilden won the service and indicated
that the heat had him by the fact that
in the very opening game he failed 10
put any OF the" old power behind his
delivery. This kept up throughout the
match, and had Beekman been able to
take advantage OF It he might have
changed the result. He did not take ad-
vantage of 1t in the first game OF the
match, and 1t was seldom thereafter
that he was able to.
The opening game went to the Phila-
delphian because Beekman had no con-
| troll over his returns and made four
errors Tilden was erratic In the second
game and lost 1t love. but throughout
the remainder of the match both play
| ers were remarkably steady. Each man
/ succeeded in making his service game
! count for victory until the score was
| a tie at three all
TiIden continued the process and took
the seventh game The first break came
in the eighth game when Beekman
after getting away TO bad start.
| brought the game to deuce but gave
his adversary the first vantage point on
double fault and followed this with a
soft service which Tilden whipped across
| for a placement ace.
In the final game of the set Tilden
led at 80 love but lost the next two
| points on errors on his next service
| the Philadelphia sent over net ball
which was apparent to all Of the spec
tators but whicfp the referee failed to
call Beekman did not try to return 1t
but just slapped it into the net.
The referee called the point for Tilden
and the latter gained the next point
which should have given him the game
| and set when Beekman failed to return
his service. The attention of the referee
was called to the net ball Of two points
earlier and the latter brought the score
| back to 80 all after announcing Tilden
| as the winner of the set. Beekman came
within an ace of winning the game three
times but faltered and the game went
to the Philadelphia.
| Few Errors in Second Set.
| The second set was remarkably free
| OF errors and second or placement shots.
| The men kept on even terms up to all
| by winning on service Beekman. by
his beautiful placing, broke through TIL
denis for the first and only time of the
match in the sixth game and had the
lead at "a. He held Tilden off on his
own service and during the remainder
| OF the set and won it at 6-3.
7 In the third set Tilden gained the
| break early. Beekman showed poor
judgment in attempting to drop the ball
| short over the net on Tilden. He had
been following these tactics all through
the match and without much success
but he stuck to this style of place,

for anything better. for he has a re-

The Philadelphia had the lead at Al
in this set and took two OF the next three
games. in spite OF the fact that Beck
| man brought each one of the two that
Tilden won to deuce and had an excel
lent chance to win both of them had
he used better judgment
Take Long Rest.
With the finish of the set the mer
lost no time in getting of the courts and
into the showers to take advantage OF
the seven minutes rest allowed them
by the powers that be In tennis. The
period of rest must have been timed
with an adding machine, for about fif,
teen minutes had elapsed before the
players made their temperance.
Tilden seemed greatly refreshed and
in the fourth set showed his only rea
signs of coming to life. He came into
the net frequently and carried OFF the
first three games. Each of these game,
went to deuce. In the first two Beck
man led at 1910 but could not gel
over the ace that would have given hin
the games. and In the third the former
Princeton captain led at 40 but II
three cases failed to make the winning
point
In the fourth game Tilden led al
4o--15 but lost the game and then set
tied down to steady hard playing and
ran out the set in the next three games
