 Tho courts had been soggy from three days of rain. but the sun came out just as the players appeared. and the playing surface began to dry rapidly. The five thousand or so spectators cheered as the American and Frenchman exchanged balls over the net in practice, and the match was on at S:l5 p. m.
 Cochet won the first game on his service. passing Tilden with two ir- retrievable placements
 Cochet, cool and collected, was on the offensive. Tilden appeared ner- vous. Both players were deadly in earnest. and the crowd was silent and tense.
 Tilden made it one all. The crowd jeered at what it considered poor decision favoring the American. but Cochet waved at the spectators and asked them to remain silent.
 The next two games followed serv- ice. making the score two all.
 Tilden broke through Cochet's service in the fifth game, taking the lead at 3-2. Both were playing or thodox tennis and taking TO chances. Neither had yet gone to the net.
 There was great rejoicing among the French spectators as Cochet successfully returned Tilden's fla nous cannonball service for points, and evened the score at three all.
 Cochet then won his own service. going into the lead for the first time. Tilden still seemed nervous. and complained of some of the linemen's decisions.
 Cochet still held the lead whom the score reached b-4. At this point he was having the better of tho ex- changes, while the crowd cheered. The cheers died out a moment later. as Tilden tied the score five all.
 Tho score reached 7-6 in Cochet's favor after hs took Tilden's service for | love game. The play had be- come sensational. Tilden was mak- ing many errors and both players were taking many chances Tilden evened the set at Tall on the next game by winning his serv- ice, again deucing this most dramatic set which spectators could recall ever seeing here. The cheering had died away and the crowd was breath lessly watching the players.
 Ttldon won g to after being ex- tended in this set more than he had ever before in Europe. He was playing relentlessly and seemed sur prised at the ease with which Cochet was returning his shots.
 They started of the second set by sharing the first two games.
 Then Tilden annexed tho next three games for 8 l-1 lead. He began to dominate the court and seemed to have solved Cochets at- tack.
 The French star came back strong ly, however. to take the next two games and bring the score up to 4-s in favor of Tilden. Big Bill" lost his service when he abandoned his cannon ball shot in favor of . soft, high-bounding stroke. Cochet won the games through superior yolleying. He began coming up to the net and smashing the ball out of Tilden's reach.
 Cochet was unable to continue the pace. however. and Tilden quickly ran out tDe next two games during which he allowed his opponent but ono point. to take the set at 6-S. Tilden took 2-l lead at tho be- ginning of tho third set. He was playing an aggressive game, putnam ! euvering Cochet with an assortment of deep fast strokes mixed with soft

press Children with Importance
of Mission Gifts.

At the recent meeting of the Sun

Church in the Diocese of Washington

ment of religious education will supply
committee of competent judges to
pass on posters and essays that may
be submitted.
Two hundred and ten children of
the Episcopal Church in the United
States submitted posters last year
which were intended to attract the
attention of children to the Lenten
offering. The posters submitted were
of such a high order that when the
competition narrowed down to six
drawings from as many different do
ceses the judges declined to draw
any distinctions, and all six were &C
cepted upon an equal basis and have
been autographed for use in connec.
ton with the fiftieth anniversary of
the Lenten offering, which is being
celebrated this year. A similar con.
test is being arranged by the national
department of religious education, and

this year to largely increase the
Lenten offering to commemorate the

| is arranged to give weekly employ
| n,ant to the children OF the Sunday
schools as an expression OF the
spirit of service which they learn
through their lesson work on Sunday
morning.
