Hunters Tremendous Hitting
Following this singles exhibition
Tilden paired with Vincent Richards
against Shim'7c and Francis +. Hunter.
NATIONAL ;nooor champion. and, greatly
10 the surprise OF the gallery, Shlmizu
and Hunt"r won by score of 2-6,
81. o-4, the winners playing re-
markab'y good tennis. Hunter. who
rad his streaks of erratic hitting.
made amends for this by periods of
tremendous hitting and deadly placing,
ana 1t was one of his "bullet" fore
hand drives deep 20 Richards's back
hand for clean ace that marked the
!ast point in the match.
IL seemed to me that the national
doubles champions we're inclined to be
careless in the third set, while Hunter
and Shlmizu, keenly alert for any sign
Of fa.terlng, increased the power of
their attack. Tilden made more errors
IN this match than he had all through
the three sets Of the singles, and
Richaros was not much better, but it
vas stirring match from start to
inish and the winners richly earned
heir victory. e..
Tilden started the service against
Shlmizu and lost the first game st
love" making two double faults be-
'ore re got tae kinks out of his arm.
The pace began to increase gradually
II ter that. Shimizu was getting every
hlng back by amazing recoveries, and
MS control was so unerring that he
soon had Tilden racing from side TO
s!de of the court after balls that cut
the side lines. Tilden was most sue
,essful in this set with delicately
played trapshots that barely dropped
the ball over the net. Even the tire
less Shimlzu could not get to these
little masterpieces of Tilden's.
Great Playing by Tilden
In the second set Tilden again began
the service, winning his game after the
points had reached deuce There fol-
lowed in the next two games perhaps
the greatest display of tennis brilliance
that Tilden ever showed. Shimizu, play
ing every point desperately, was only
allowed one point in those two games,
Iilden scoring nine placement aces in
a row. composed of two trapshots, half
3 dozen terrific forehand drives and a
decisive smash of deep lob
The champion was up on his toes at
this period and scoring points with
shots that fairly dazzlcd the gallery

from the hard pressed Shmizu. After
