TILDEN APPEARS TO BE
 ON A SERIOUS DECLINE
Alfred H. Chapin, Jr., Defeats Ma tional Champion in Straight
 Sets At New Haven

New York. June LPt-Harbinger of William T. Tildens passing as the worlds foremost singles player, they had been deceived in other years by early season de- feats. were fortified today with new indication of a decline in the cham pions play since he entered serious ly upon q stage career.
 Tilden's straight set defeat yester- day at the hands of Alfred H. Chapin, Jr, in the finals of the Con- necticut state tennis championship at New Haven, S-6. 6-4, 7-5, marked the fifth reverse he has suffered this year. In his siX-year rule of the courts, he has not previously been beaten in straight sets.
 Tilden was defeated twice during the indoor season by Jean BoI otra and Rene Lacoste Of the French in ternational team. Later in the south he bowed twice to Richards, but each match went five gruelling sets Richards later asserted that the sting of Tilden's old attack was missing, and expressed the opinion the champion was slipping from the pinnacle he has occupied for so many strenuous years.
 Chapin has been knocking at the door to a Tildcn triumph for the last two years, having repeatedly pressed the champion to limits of his game. The Springfield youth, a protege of the champion, twice carried the Philadelphian to five-set matches in the south early this year.
 Tilden lost a spring match to Richards last year at Mountain Sta ton. N. J., but later came back 10 retain his title and defeat Borotra and Lacoste in two thrilling five set Davis cup battles.

We kind of thought when we wrote yesterday in connection with the announcement that Harold Beagle would play first base for the kensington team Sunday. that some one would pick us up oH the state- ment that Beagle would never be better man than Ray Begley at cov- ering the first sack. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion in this matter, but we still think that Ray Begley will never be outdistanced by Hal Beagle.
