s-
ridden did not extend himself in his
match against Flaquer. not playing his
usual aggressive tennis. His opponent
wss consistently steady throughout the
match, but earned very few points, all
the games won by Flaquer being the
result of Tilden's errors, the worlds
grass court champion running into a
Streak of netting at one point and also
frequently hitting outside.
In the last set, with Tiiden leading,
Eve games to three, he made q success
sion OF errors which enabled the Span
lard to bring the score to deuce, but
Tilden finally won the long drawn out
set BY superior placing and court
strategy when forced to exert himself.
Tilden Wins With Ease
Tie large crowd of spectators, with
the exception Of the Americans, seemed
70 favor the Spaniard after the first
ses. which Tilden won with consum-
mate ease, cheering Flaquer each time
uoint was scored for him. Some
criticism was also heard Of Tilden, the
complaint being that he was not ex-
tending himself.
The American, hewever, was given
a great cheer when, after the Spaniard
had point called against him for an
cut when the ball in fact had struck
inside, Tilden purposely landed one
outside, TO even things up, as it ap-
pesred.
Mrs. Mallory did not encounter Sc
rious opposition from Mile. Amblard.
She displayed a better service and a
more diversified game than her oppo-
neut, consistently outplaying the Bel
glan champion. Her game marked an
Improvement over her play yesterday
In the doubles and raised the hopes
of her supporters for her chance
against Mile. Suzanne Lenglen.
Miss Sigourney had an easier time
defeating Nine. DaneJ than the score
indicates, the American woman play
iag well within her game at all times.
Her play also was an Improvement
over yesterdays, as was the case with
Mrs. Mallory. Nine. Danet is rated

Nicolas Mishu, Of Rumaria. sprang
the first surprise Of the tournament
by defeating Andre Colbert, the former
French champion, in straight sets, 6-3,

Of Spain, and Jean Samazeuilh, the
present French champion, resulted in
high class tennis, Alfonso showing a
well-rounded game and aggressive net
play.
