Americans Wind Up Davis Challenge
Cup Play With Final Defeat Of Japs
Iden Defeats kumagae and Johnson Wins Over Shmidzu
Suzanne Lengen, Playing FOR Second lime on y. 5.
Court, Makes Remarkably Good Showing :

ed much of the thrill of its predeces-
sor, but that was atoned for by the
flnesee and strategy of the CalifoI-
mans play and Shimidzu's efforts to
find a break to attack the former
American champions game.
After the Davis Cup play, Mile, Su-
zanne Lenglen, French woman cham
pion, made her second appearance on
American courts and also much
more favorable impression than was
the case when she defaulted to Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory in the sec-
ond round of the women's national
championships. She paired with Dean
Mathey of Crawford, N. j., in a mixed
doubles match against Mrs. May SUIT
ton Bundy of Los Angeles, and Willis
Davis of San Francisco. Mile. Leng-
len and partner won two straight sets
6-2, 81. She was given much applause
when she uncovered her wide repor-
toire of strokes. She wore brilliant
cerise silk sweater and a bandeau OF
the same hue.
Once the play was under way, she
removed the sweater and became a
symphony in white. She opened her
play in rather indecisive manner,
her first three returns being errors.
Once she got the swing of her rae
quet, however, Mile. Lenglen showed
remarkable ability to smash or softly
drop the ball across the net and re-
markable finesse in playing for epen-
ings. She took the cannonball strokes
off Willis Davis requet and returned
them with skill. There were serevai
individual duels between Mrs. Bundy
and the French star in which the lat
ter had much the better of the strok-
ing. In making returns to both Da-
Wis and his partner, Mile. Lenglep
showed no particularly and her vic
tory with fdatney was cue as fully to
her efforts as those of her male part
ner.

Central outplayed Bisbee Sunday,
winning rather easily by the score OF

day and played the Mascot boys off
their feet, taking six run lead almost
before the visitors got their breath.
The boys from Dos Cabezas did not
quit though, and almost tied the score
in the ninth. Four runs behind at the
beginning of the ninth, they made
three runs and had the tying score on
second base when Clifford lined out
to PERI, ending the inning and the
game.
Baugh pitched an excellent game
{. yesterday and Dave Jeffreys turned

play that position the balance of the
season.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 5. =
American Davis Cup tennis players,
defending the international trophy.
made their victory in the challenge
round over Japan complete at the
West Side CLUB today when they won
the remaining two singles matches
OF the five match program.
William I. Tiiden III, OF Philadel-
phia, defeated Ichiya kumagae, 81,
"a, 6-1.
William NJ. Johnston of San Fran
cisco, Won from Zenzo Shimidzu, 6-3,
81, 6-2, GA.
These victories, coupled with the
winning Of two singles matches Fri
day and the doubles match of Satur-
day, gave Tiiden ana johnston and
K. Norris Williams of Boston, and
Watson Nj. WashDurn of New York,
the doubles pair, five straight vic
torres IL i Concluding round vi the
1871 Davis Cup matches, which be-
ban last June with ~ nations as chal-
lengeIs. These SAME five victories
scored in Roaming the trophy gave
an ideal final count with that maui
by virtually the same team in New
zealand early this year.
w nile the outcome OF today's play
had no bearing on the retention OF the
cup winch already had been won iasl
week, more than 10000 spectators
were present. Although the players
lacked the incentive the tennis was
of the highest order Both matches
were played as though possession OF
the international trophy hung on the
result. This was particularly true in
the Tilden-Kumagae match. In fact,
fans were almost unanimous in ex-
pressing the opinion that Kumagae
during his residence here, has never
lifted his game to the heights shown
today. 1t was virtually Kumagae-s
valedictory in America, for he sails
next month for Japan, to be married
and resume banking business in
