The French pair, Rorotra and Brug- non. are like lightning in the ex- i changes at the net. and of course Hunter will be the storm center. 1 Tilden will be left cold on the court unless his resourceful ingenuity finds way 10 steal the play. America must win this match or I very much doubt that we will be 1 able to hold the fort; for then both Johnson and Tilden would have to win their singles on the last day.
