1t is a rather significant fact that
teams containing such men as Tilden
and 3 /. c. Norton, who is paired
with ,Wray Brown of st. Louis. were
not among those seeded in the draw.
The whole situation is a mess of in
dividual preferences rather than an
attempt to develop a worth while
school of doubles play.
In the mixed doubles, which are
also being decided at Longwood, we
see a more favorable arrangement,
Tilden being paired with Mrs. Nal
lory and Miss Wills teamed with
Vincent Richards. But Mrs. G. w
Wightman, perhaps our best doubles
strategist, man or woman, is paired
with Jean Borotra. the French play

combination will not give all other
mixed doubles teams a mighty hard
fight.
Tilden and Mrs. Mallory have won
the mixed doubles twice and are keen
for a third title.

mixed doubles matches is the part

Kelly, Hudson and Humphreys have
been given the task of hurting the

There will be nothing at stake in

A shot is always best played well
within yourself. Forcing shot may
have a tendency to put you off on
other shots in your round. The half
shot with the iron is by far the best.
At times player may be compelled
to force the mashie-that is, the
shot to the green may call for it if
there is a trap directly in front of
the green or some other obstacle is
in the way.
