here today and the American cham
pion was defeated by Manuel Alonzo
OF Spain. in a five-set match in the
final round OF the Buffalo Tennis and
Squash clubs midwinter invitation in.
Sc. 6-4.
Tilden was inclined to favor his
angle, strained yesterday in the semi
final round of the doubles. but Alfonso
gave remarkable exhibition of tennis
and was at his best at the critical
stages OF the match when the Amer.
lean tried everything to turn the tide.
Tilden was erratic throughout. es-
pecially at the net. where he fire.
quently netted the hall on seemingly
easy chances. His drives had plenty
OF force but his characteristic accur.
acy was lacking. Alfonso, covering
the court in sensational fashion and
driving brilliantly with his talented
back hand, proved unbeatable. In the
second set. Alonso's service failed him
and Tilden was able 10 take a game
at love off his opponents service, but
saide from that temporary lapse. the
Spanish player was able TO withstand
Tilden's determined attack.
Tilden and his protege. Sandy
Wiener. were beaten in the final
round of the doubles by II. I,indley
Murray. Niagara Falls, and Arnold
Jones. Providence. ST. Ga, SO, 6-s.
6-4. Murray gave a spectacular exhi-
bltion at the net and in the back
court and his work was sufficient to
carry the day.
