Cup Players
Are Defeated
Cochet, Colbert and Be-
rotra Meet Quick Fate
ON N wport Courts

Gallo team players, Andre Colbert,
Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra, entered
Newport's invitation singles to-day,
slogan famous in their history:
"Veni, vdi, vici." Instead they left
the courts after one match each, with
only "peccavi" as a motto.
The complete failure Of the French
men to live up to their reputation was
q, stunning shock to the gallery. At
the tennis luncheon given by Mrs. Will
liam G. Loew they all seemed to be in
the best of health ami spirits and
when they warmed up before their
matches they showed beautiful strokes,
sped, agility and good humor. Then
came the avalanche.
First Cochet was swept off the
grandstand court by N. w. Niles, GO,
ID. Then Borotra succumbed to the
lobbing of Arnold Jones in three SETS
Is, 2-6, e---3. Finally the great
Colbert, after taking a love set from
James Davies, went down to q defeat
by scores of lie, 6-1,
Following shortly after this series
OF disasters came the announcement
that Richard Norris Williams I'd had
defaulted ir the singles, and tonight
there is gloom in the grandstand The
doubles at least are keeping up to
traditions, with Williams and Wash
burn, Colbert and Borotra, Niles and
Cochet, the Kinseys and Davies and
Voshell among the frst-round winners.
Colbert played beautiful tennis In
his opening set against Davies and
clearly proved his right to the many
compliments that have been paid his
almost f1awless style His service
was magnificent and he hit his ground
strokes from all parts of the court
with free sweep of the racquet. But
when Davies began hitting with the
blindness of desperation in the second
set the French veterans game gradu-
ally crumbled
A long deuce sot tired him out and
when he lost it at t1--9 his courage
ana strokes seemed to desert him SIM
UNANIMOUSLY. AS the tide set strongly
against him Colbert made little effort
to check it, and Davies banged his way
through 6--1 session for the match
and place among the heroes of New
port.
Borotra fought harder against Ar
mold Jones, but he was facing a pama
fuily equal to his own, and to-day lust
ilttie better, Jones resqrted to lob
ping IN the pinches and this eventual
~ broke up the Frenchman's game.
1T was gallant but losing battle
that young CochGt fought against
Niles. With the youngster still obvi-
ously unaccustomed to grass. the
steady and we'll placed drives Of the
looStoplan proved entirely too much for
nm and he had no real chance to get
ms famous volleys into action. On
ground strokes, however, Cochet showed
natural form and an effortless style,
gaining most fhis speed by pivotal
motion of the body He lost fine
chance to break through crucial
service game by hitting into the alley
WIN the whole court open, and in the
flnal game he had little left but
courage. The summarizes:
