BOROTRA CAPTURES
FRENCH NET HONORS

PARIS, June 14.--Jean Eorotra to-
day won the hard court tennis cham
pionship of France. defeating Rene
La Coste, Us, Ga, 0-6. 81, 6-2.
La Coste played his usual steady
game, but Borotra played super ten
mis-. For the most part Borotra sta
toned himself at the net and just
reached for La Coste's returns, plac-
ing them in corners Of the opposite
court to gain his points. He was
superior also in his attack.
Borotra's victory is pointed to by
tennis enthusiasts as having empha-
sized anew that France has three
number one players who cannot be
separated by the ratings. Henri
Cochet has defeated La Coste twice
and lost to him once, Borotra has
lost to La Coste twice and beat him
once, while Borotra and Cochet stand
one-all since January 1.
The new. champion OF France, with
Cochet, La Coste and Jacques Rrug-
non, will represent France in the
third round Of the Davis cup compe-
tition against India, which begins in
Paris June II.
French tennis officials are full or
hope that the Indian players Will be
eliminated, and that France once
more will reach the European finals
and make the journey to the United
States to meet the American zone

IN RHEIMS TOURNEY

RHEIMS, France. June 1.-THE in
ternational rifle tournament which
precedes the Olympic competition at
Chalons opens here tomorrow. Four
teen nations are entered, and, judging
from the results obtained thus far
in training, the battle will be hotly
contested. Teams representing the
United States, France, Argentina and
Haiti have been on the ground for a
week or ten days to become accus-
toned to the ranges. They have been
shooting excellent scores, which, il
duplicated in actual competition, are
certain to leave all former records far
behind. The Argentine and United
States teams appear to be the ia
vorites at present, although experts
agree that it is impossible to predict
the winner.
The team from Switzerland. which
has just arrived, is another favorite,
while Belgium, Norway and Finland,
whose teams are due to arrive this
evening. are also regarded as having
a fair chance for victory.
The first event will be 3n0-meter
rife competition. commencing tomor-
row morning at IL o'clock Spain
and Portugal announced they would
default in this event, owing to their
rifles not having arrived. The guns
are believed to be lost somewhere
