IN GOTHAM TENNIS

New York, Aug. 1-(P)-Wiliam T.
Tilden today met one of the most
crushing reVerses of his sensational
career in the final round of the Met
ropolitan tennis championship. III
four sets of lightning recoveries a; j
stirring rallies on the soggy courts
of the Crescent Athletic Club. the
national champion went down to his
third successive defeat of the year
at the hands of youthful Vincent
Richards. The triumph of the de-
Tending metropolitan title halder was
the most decisive in the six years Of
their rivalry on the courts, with set
scores of Ga, ga, 4-6, 6-2.
Four thousand spectators Drawing
an early drizzle which soon found
Tildens rise to heights he has SCI
dom attained.
After Richards victory in the first
two sets, the national champion
temporarily stemmed the tide to take
the third, impa rting the hope that he
was prepared to bring off a tyical
uphill Tiden fight to victory. But
Richards was not to be denied and
later he returned to the court with
Francis T. Hunter to add the dou-
bles crown by straight set triumph
over Tilden and Al Sandy Weiner
6-3, SO, Sc.
Tilden's defeat in the singles broke
a string of four STRAIGHT tournament
victories in the middle states, clay
court, New England and Longwood

stretch OF triumphs friends of the
Philadelphia wizard confidently ex-
pected him to balance defeats he
had met in matches against Richards
early this year in the south. In the
finals of both the Mason Dixon and
southeastern championships, he has
lost FIVE set struggles to Richards.
but tennis followers, accustomed to

looked for partial squaring of ac-
counts.
Il promised Mrs. Richards I would
present her a victory today 1t s her

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

The defeat of the Boston Braves
recruits by the Togus team yester-
day only served to show the truth in
the statement that baseball talent in
Maine is much stronger than is gen.
orally admitted outside of this State
The recruits started the game with
an aggressive attack but were I'M
prepared for the barrage of blows
that greeted them in the second in
ming.
The recruits were fortunate in be-
ing able to send after reinforcements
but in times past other fast teams
have entered the State and suffered
the same fate in their first game.
Togus has an outfit not to be sneered
at and it contains some of the best
semi pro talent in New England so
the defeat of the recruits was to have
been expected, everything considered.
A little overconfidence can lose any
ball game. Many stars who had the
goods used to drift up into the Pine
Tree State when semi pro ball was in
it's palmiest days and went back a
few days later because they thought
they could set by with little or no eff
fort.
But it is not only overconfdence that
loses ball games in Maine. AS good
a bunch of semi pro ball players as
were ever at large in any state play
ball in Maine during the summer
months and even in the smallest of
small towns there is opposition far
more capable than the size of the
town would indicate. The recruits
should make a good showing from
now on despite their rather inaus-
piciouS start.
Danny Clancy was on the mound
for Togus yesterday and pitched good
ball He also received gilt edge
support from his teammates. Clancy
is now member of the Bangor
Brewer outfit and expressed high
hopes for his club in the last half of
the Maine State schedule.
And speaking of former Augusta
performers, that exhibition by Don
Brennan Saturday was not too bad.
Don seems to have hit his stride and
should go we'll for the rest of the
season against the best the New Eng
land league has to offer.
