 Tennis Doubles HOnOrS

Boston, Aug. 20.-It is only a short time since those who guide the destin- fes of American tennis decided not to challenge for the Davis Cup, as it probably would be unsportsmanlike to take advantage of the tennis play CTS of the rest of the world who had been enga ged in war work for four years. Yesterday America was be- reft of her national doubles tennis championship, and it was carried off by Norman E. Brookes and Gerald l.. Patterson, a couple of Australians who were very active ir the war and who furthermore stopped off in America only casually on their way home, where they will defend the Davis Cup taken from America in s1914.
 The Australian pair defeated Will liam T. Tilden 2d of Philadelphia and Vincent Richards of Yonkers, the American champions, in the challenge round for the doubles supremacy of the United States at the Longwood Cricket club courts here yesterday in five hard sets. The scores which at tended the triumph of the visiting Antipodeans were 8-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. There is little consolation in the fact that the Yankee team put up a hard fight, for as the holders of the championship they were expected to
 do that.
 The contest was watched by one of the largest crowds that ever went to see a tennis match in this vicinity. In the old days when Boston practically was the home of American lawn ten- his some fairly large sized galleries came out to see feature matches, but the gallery yesterday was considerably greater than any ether three that has seen tennis hereabout.

wELL-BALANcED PROGRAM
Rendered at Mrs Perry's Recital in How
land Hall Last Evening.

A well-balanced program of spring
like freshness was played last evening in
Rowland hall by Mrs, Dean III. Perry.
She was assisted by Fred Inglis, tenor
soloist. and in the first number, Concerto
in d minor" by Miss Gladys n Gale at
the second piano, who played the orches-
trail parts with great insight and accur-
acy.
From beginning to end, Mrs. Perry
played from memory with an ease and a
technique wholly adequate to the differ
emit numbers which she chose Each
movement of the concerto was ably rem
dered. from the Allegro through the deli
cately beautiful Romance and on to the
Rondo.
The songs sung by Mr.. 1nglis were all
written by Mrs. Perry and enthusiastic
applause was bestowed upon both singer
and composer. They were well adapted
to the tenor voice and were interpreted
by Mr.. Inglis with fine feeling and ex-
preston.
The delightful cycle Of songs with
words from Robert H. Stevenson
"Child's Garden of Verse" were graceful
in every detail. The shimmering har
monies of THE Moon" the gaiety of
Foreign Children" the rollicking
rhythms of MY Ship and r and the
weird minor cadences of Shadow March"
were listened to with marked appreeia-
ton.
other songs in the cycle were Sing
ing" and ain Port; then followed three
pieces by French composers, the brilliant
Toccato by Chaminade, "The Waiting
Doll" by Poldini, who seems singularly
apt in this style of writing and won
derfully descriptive composition by God
ard, entitled "Trilby."
Part two of the program opened with
two pieces by American composers, the
first, Barcarolle by Neyin, very lovely
in its swing and melody and the we'll
known Shadow Dance" by Mcdowell
Mr.. Inglis sang with controlled power
and very pleasingly the two songs PRO
posal' and knowledge" written by Mrs.
Perry.
The songs in themselves were filed
with melody and BETTING harmonies
The program closed with Capriccio
Fantasia, 0p. by Mendelssohn, whose
music with that of Mozart, seems to
ever hold the spirit of springs most
fitting choice.
Only one with keen musical mind
and by the most diligent and careful
practice could have achieved the success
which came to Mrs. Perry last evening
success which she SO richly deserves.
