By the Associated Press.

PARIS, May 24.-William I. Tilden to-
day suffered an attack of Indigestion
after he had played three sets OF tennis
with Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory ana
one set with a professional OF the Stade
at St Cloud and was forced to abandon
his practice for the forthcoming hard
court championships. Whether Tilden
will be seen at play again before the
matches begin next Saturday viii de-
pend on his condition tomorrow.
Prior to playing to-day Tilden looked
we'll and said he was In better shape
than at any time since his arrival in
France. In playing he accorded Mrs.
Mallory his usual handicap. Remaining
on the baseline he defeated her ca.
6-3, although she displayed the best
form shown thus far In her practice.
Her driving was sharp and accurate and
her footwork good.
Tilden's Illness became somewhat ap-
parent when he began playing with the
professional. the first real opponent he
has had since his arrival. except in his
match with Colbert. The professional de-
feated Tilden. ca.

scabass Bit Well on tho Jersey Coas'
Yesterday.

Frank Hammer of Sheepshead Bay ran off
70 Long Branch yesterday with fifteen men
on the Whitby, and these early fishermen
were we'll repaid for their trip by catching
3s9 senbass. the largest Of which weighed
3n pounds. II will be noted that this Is an
average OF about twenty-six fish per man.
and Frank said the catches were distributed
evenly. The high hook was Charlie Car
nenti, the steward Mt Bristol's reStaurant.
who landed thrty-eight. The three and one
half pound bass was caught by Tom Meyer.
Gus Cook caught n five pound blackfish.
Capt Jacob Martin said he had thirty-four
men aboard the Evelyn, and that the catch
waa 52S feabass, running In weight from n
half to four and one-half pounds. IL was
rough where he fished off Seabright. with
the wind coming from the east and later
changing TO sou east, and this roughness In
terforod with good fishing. Charles Lang
took first prize. with n twelve pound pollock,
and H. r. Lemcke was high hook, with
thirty fish. Some OF the catches follow

Out of British Tourney

fight all the way and there was breath
less suspense on the home green when
his last ball curled around the cup and
finally dropped in. giving him the match
The first big sensation of the day was
the elimination of Ouimet in the second
round and on the heels of this upset
came the defeat OF Chick Evans in the
third round. Speaking of his match,
Ouimet declared 1t was won on the
greens through Hodgson's superior put
ting. He does not intend to enter any
more tour naments while abroad and ex-
poets to return to the United States
about the middle of June.
Evans lost to w. C. Fownes. Jr.. by
1 up. Fownes was dormie on Evans
al the sixteenth. but the American cham
pion at the seventeenth brought him
back to dormie /. The last hole was
halyad. Fownes thereby winning the
match. Some OF the spectators thought
that Fownes through his good play
should have won by a wider margin.
Jesse p. Guiford OF Boston, by long
driving and excellent all around play.
put up a good game against the British
champion, Cyril II. Toley. Guilford,
however. appeared to be striving to
stretch his drives and several times
hooked the ball to one side OF the course.
Al the third he was twice out of bounds.
Regardless of his debut the distance he
made in driving received much praise
and the title holders followers were OBJ
viously worried throughout the match.
There was a remarkable finish in the
contest between the American represen-
tative. Hunt, and Quilter Of Walton
Heath. Hunt was up at the four
teenth. but lost the fifteenth. At the
sixteenth Quilter put his second out OF
hi1t !. a
shot was on the green, and he holed an
eighteen yard putt to square the match.
He then won the seventeenth with a
brilliant 3 and. getting a half at the
eighteenth. beat Hunt by l up.
In the third round Jones met the Scot
tish international.st, Harris, and a great
game was expected. But Harris proved
TO be quite off color and interest in the
match soon evaporated. Harris was
pulling his shots all the time and con-
stantiy was in bunkers.
Jones was up at the eighth hole but
lost the ninth. the only hole Harris won.
Jones though having the match in hnad,
was playing well and at the twelfth was
up. At the short thirteenth Harris
was in a pot bunker at the edge OF the
green, and. putting weakly afterward.
lost the hole in ) to 8 and the match by
D up and to play.
Writing of the golf match at Hoylake,
the correspondent Of the London Times
says:
THE Americans had an off day. For
once In a while they showed some symp-
toms of nerves, and Ouimet certainly
was not at his best He was constantly
short with his approaches. and that, i
think always tells tale.
Jones made an amazing display OF
bad golf for a man OF his parts. 1t
seems churlish not to praise Hamlet for
so nearly extinguishing the great Amer
lean, but the truth compels the admis-
sion that Hamlet Is not a good player.
1T was entirely the ludicrous play OF
Jones that made any kind of match
OF It, It was really dreadful. the crowd
did rot know whether to laugh or cry"
