Manager Kearns de- clared the English fans would have a chance to see the champion in action at the National Sporting club, if they could find an opponent for Dempsey.

AmeFFiGanS Take Two Matches From Japs

of tennis campaign. On his own base line the JaIanese player was steadiness personifed returning almost every ball with excellent control, and he soon had Tilden on the run. The latter apparently found it difficult to revive his forcing game and in his mixing of soft and hard stroking piled up errors and was forced out of position by Shinidzu's lobbing and side line tactics until he dropped the first two sets.
 The third set, which was really the turning point of the match, moved stead fly in Shimidzu's favor until the Jap anese challenger was within two points of victory.
 Teh heat during the afternoon was im- tanse and hqth Tilden and Shimidzp were exhausted by their continuous foot ing about the turf in the torrid atmo- sphere. Shimidzu in addition developed a slight attack of cramps and the Am erican champion. sensing the fact that his opponent was slowing up forced the pace sufficiently to win the third set at 7-5 and gain a respite of ten minutes in the club house.
 Refreshed by & shower rubdown and dry clothing, Tilden ran into an early lead in the fourth set which he won 6-2 Shinidzu developed a muscle cramp to- WdTQ the elO Ol Ln4S SSt eLlld WelS ODAA5CA to let a number of returns pass unplayed. There was considerable delay between the fourth and fifth sets while the Japanese received massage treatment, but he was unable to resume his former court cov- ering pace tu tho fifth and final set which Tilden won in a spectacular manner at 6-1 The American champion with his deadly service working and renewed ability to get to the net quickly, killed of his op1onent's returns with smashes
 at the barrier and made it two straight victories for he American cup defend- CTS.
 Some idea of Tilden's remarkable play when he actually settled down to win ming Is shown by the stroke analysis
 with a margin of 46 earned points over
 Shimidzu, consisting partly of fifty place
 ments and twenty service aces. His rec ord in the latter respect was marred l by ten double faults. In error making Tilden almost doubled the ~apanese players figures in outs but had eleven less nets.
 | In addition to the Davis Cup doubles match scheduled for tomorrow, it is planned to stage a mixed doubles ex- hibition match in which Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French woman champion will appear Paired with incent Richard the French star will play Mrs. May Sutton Bundy and Willis Davis of California.

will appear in Taftville with their regular lineup and that means that the fans will see the best that has appeared in Taftville this, season That is saying a lot, because there has been only one poor team that has appeared on the Taft vile grounets and the best in the state have been seen here. The Fisks will have such men as Jim Greenhalgh, who is manager and coach. and a former Eastern Leaguer. behind the bat, Rube Richards, Pete Woods, a brother of the famous Smoky Joe and Fenton for pitchers, Whalen 1b; Kane 2b; John son Sb; Trauske ss; Smith, Sharpe and Moriarty outhe1ders. This is the same team that has been blowing through ev- erything in New England. and expect to do the same to Taftville today.
 But the Taftville team today and the Taftville team of yesterday are strangers and Manager Benoit says that the Fisks will have to travel to win,~ as the team has several new men, and intend to keep them for the remainder Of the season. These include Hendricson of the pen nant winning American Steel and Wire of Worcester, this kid leads the league in hitting and fielding, and the man who l recommended him says that it is al most an impossibility to keep him off the bases. Dresser, another infelder, from Springfield, has seen service in the New York State League and is at the present time coach for one of the big eastern colleges. Both these men are going great at present, and will be a big help to the team, and then there l will be Hal Chase of the Ashlands, of Jewett City, on first base, and another man who will play the outfeld, his name cannot be mentioned for good reasons. but he has the goods. With Mike Morin 1 and Bill Reddy for battery and the remainder of the team to be picked from
 the best of the old Taftville team, the fans are sure to see great game. Man
 ager Benoit says that they are out to clean them all up. They are going to
 get the New London County champion ship this season. Ashlands holds this
 at the present time although Taftville | has walloped them twice this season, and l can do it again. Today will be the day
 to size them up, and see how they look
 as the coming champions.
