, ed wrist that sent It through the
narrowest openings for points.
Tilden and Johnston were almost
equally inspired in their stroking
The tennis they played was stirring
enough to have beaten almost any
combination. They made the same
startling shots, hit out with the same
burning pace and made equally
difficult recoveries, but they could
not put over quite as many point
winners.
Three singles matches also were
played. Tilden lost a set to Edward
Chandler, Johnston was closely press
ed by A. II. Chaplin and came close
to losing the second set, while Will
liams was forced to pull up from
2-5 in the third set to defeat George
Lott of Chicago at SIS, 81, Is.

Williams on His Game.
Williams was badly off his game at
the start of his match with Lott and
it was not until the Chicago youth
had decisively outplayed him in the
opening set that the Philadelphia
began to break up his opponents beau
tiful driving attack with the wizardry
of his short court game. Lott became
a, bit careless after leading at s.,
and when he tried to stem the tide
as Williams rallied the Philadelphia
was playing unbeatable tennis, with
the result that the Davis Cup cap
tain took five games in a row.
Tilden was rampant in the first set
against Chandler, slumped badly in
the second set as the Californian at
tackled from the net and then recov-
cred to win the third set with plenty
to spare.
Johnston's forehand drives carried
tremendous power, but he could not
keep them out of the net. and In the
second set Chaplin handled his speed
with such good control that it was
only by a narrow margin that the
match failed to go to three sets.
