LOTT,yPTURNS DOPE
 IN KICKING WILLIAMS

 N Young Hugh Kelleher

was to out-wallop the Frenchman and Borotra was willing to slug.
 Robert Kinsey, another of America's 's hetter-known players, joined the ob- scure casualties of the opening round, but he had the misfortune to be match cd with Watson Washburn, one of the ranking men. Wasburn beat him 6.1, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. At that, Washburn had to give Kinsey all he had, even though the Californian Ekidded on the vet grass late in the third set and hurt his left arm. Incidentally, 1t was remarked that Norris Williams was still humoring the unsteady ankle that he injured in the Olympic games and that this probably had something to do with his defeat by Lott.
 Two of the alien chaliengers for the cup which this year will symbolize the practical, though unofficial, world championship, went out, one of them without struggle, the other fighting. Zenxo Shimizu, the runty Japanese who used to give Tilden such gasping after moons, defaulted to his9 countryman, M. Kunkuda. But David Morrice, the Canadian, had the honor of winning one set anyway, in his bout with John Howard of Baltimore, who won the match, 2-6, 8-1, ca, 60,
 Pat O'Hara Wood of the Australian Davis cup team, beat Harold Throck. morton of New York, 6-1, 6.2, 6-2.
 Paul Kong, of China and Sunao Okmoto, of Japan, also went along to the second round, Kong beat Alfred Dabney, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, and Okomoto took a match from Lawrence Rice of Bos- ton by default.

 FOREST HILLS, l.. l., Aug. 25.- Norris Williams, one of America's best tennis players, who had been expected to weld q wicked racket in the patriot ic business of swatting the invaders from seven other countries, went down and, out of. the national mems singles tournament in the very first round Mon day, to the astonishment of himself, his opponent and some 5000 spectators who gambied on the weather and lost. Williams, the ranking American star and q member of khe Olympic team was defeated by George M. Lott, IT,, of Chicago, holder of the national junior championship, 6-1, 6-l, 1-6, 6-4.
 Norman Brookes, the antedeluvian Australian, competing. against man who was just a lispink toddier when he, Brooks, first played international tennis. also went out of the greatest tournament ever arranged in the de. veiopment of the sport from it's weak beginnings to It's present manly vigor, Brooks lost to Hugh Kelleher of New York, 0-6, D-7, 6-2, G-2. Barring q nervous beginning, due, no doubt, to the fact that he was meeting man with a prodigious record, Kelleher made the speed, and maintained command of the match.
 BrookeS, now 4s yesrs old, was sim ply unable to follow the pace of man 21 years younger ,thaH himself, once keileher steadied from his wobbly start.

 The customers who had flocked to the concrete horse-shoA of the Ameri- can Wimbledon in extraordinary num- bers for an opening days play in the expectation of seeing William T. TiI- den Tn match with Manuel Alonso, finally dragged themselves away, ooz- lns rainwaterr and disappointment. .Alonsc has defeated Tilden and there was a chance that the champion, who is now trying to win tho title for the fifth time in consecutive years, might lose to the Spaniard and disappear from the tournament in the first days play. However, this climax .was so long dc. ferred in the days swift sequence of events that the rain became a con firmed torrent before othe men could take to the court and 50 the match was postponed until Tuesday
 There were s2 entPants, an army that required delft handling and a romp- ing schedule of matters were to be dis posed of within the days allotted to the tournament.
