Weather Conditions Ideal
The largest gallery of the tourna-
rnent was clustered about the courts
when the matches that were TO decide
the various titles were put on and en-
thusiasm ran high all day. More per-
feet weather conditions could not have
peen asked, the sun being out in all
us glory from early morning until the
2st Of the events had been COMPLETED.
There were moments to-day when
Iilden played supertennis against Vo

was able TO cause more than tenn
porary halt in the champions march to
victory.
Voshell was fighting doggedly all the
way (he is fighter by nature), and in
the narrowing second set, through all
the twenty-five games, he was meeting

able to raise his game to new heights
with each bid made by Voshell, and
as the end he seemed fresh.
10 PICK out any one particular fea
ture IN Tilden's game to-day would
be difficult and would fail to give an
idea OF the all-round strength of his
play Because the overhead and uet
game is the more spectacular, perhaps
majority of those who watched
Voshell go down to defeat would be
apt to overlook Tilden's ground strokes
and place undue emphasis on the tall
champions amazing sessions at the
net.
Bat it should not be lost sight of
taa' tnese very daring rushes to the

possible by the furious drives through
