 Title Meet
BY MARY K. BROWNE United Press Staff Correspondent

Forest Hills. x. Y. Sept, 14.- UP)- Nothing went wrong with the dope in the second round of the Mems National tennis championship. The favorites rompcd through their second round in easier style than on the first day.
 As l anticipated there are an even number of Americans and foreigners eft in the last 16 survivors. Eight foreigners. including four French men, a Belgian. a Spaniard, Japa- uase and a Canadian. If America has luck she will still have an even break in the third round matches, with four Amtricans and four for ,igners ir the last eight.
 Rene La Coste continues his com nacont way. He wears a white can pulled down over his eyes, and liko Helen Wills under his eye shield his ,xprossion is unchanCeablo. II must ue the "highbrow' way to play the game, for these two are now con .dered the best in the world. They gre even alike in their methods as well as Tll'lr Sll'llr'.
 The exubnrant and radiant Jean Borotra is in direct contrast 10 Rene. Enrotra is all over the court. His lross is expressive Of his personality, the Beret cap which he affects is 'amous the world over. Borotra was tho great giant killer in last years national championship Ns7CU he took he mea sure Of both Johnson and Vincent Richards on successive days. hut fell before La COstc in inc finals. He does not look the killer this year because his singles have been slack and cratic. 1f he is to daFaat Jerry Lang in his nCTt match he will have to raise his game notch CT two. Should he bn succees- ful he will meet William Tildcn and l believe. defeat.
 Frank Hunter disposed of Bud Chandler. former infnr-oolloeia'" champion, in straight sets. The last two sets were hard fought. but Chandler showed lack Of practice. He was cratic at crucial stages. Hunter IS defensive in every depart ment Of the game, except when he gets a good chance with bis fore arm wallop when he becomes active and aggressive.
 Hunter will play Jenc Washer, the Dutch champion in the next round and stands a good chance to win. in spite Of the fact that Washer de f"atad Hunter in the Olympic games three years ago and again this year m q team match abroad. Washer Is a' his best on clay and has not vet found his game in America Washer found that I.acoste's rackets suit him better than his own. He showed mo one and they are strung aS tight aS il is possible to string q racket and the ball travels with little Urg- ing. Tildcn likes his rackots very tightly strung, with fine gauge gut. In fact almost every expert likes them tight, but only an expert can control the ball. for the slightest ovcrhitting with a racket 90 fast will find he ball sailing out Of hounds.
 lIanri Cochaf. the little man from 1yons was dallying with Edward Policeman Of New York until he suddenly realized he had real op- ponant against whom he had 10 work 10 win. Tcibloman Was far from feeble. He played a strong, leaGy game for three sets and took one of them. The crowd gave him d great ovation. but after the ten minute rest COChrt had decided ap- parcntly that the mach had gone far enough. Sill as fresh as though he had just come on the court, the great little Frcnchman started his rushing tactics and completely floor ed the New York younEsicr and took the set at love and the match.
 John IIcnnesscy is Cochcta next opponent. These two played once at Wimbledon two years ago, and Cochct won in q tiYo-sct match. But Cochct has improved since then and should win handily.
 little Bill" Johnston meets Jack Wright Of the Canadian Davis cup team. They play very similar games with Johnston having an edge on the effectiveness Of his forearm drive, while Wright has more stamina. If Johnston can win three straight or even "ccaet'' Il Set and win in four as I believe he will, there is no cause to worry.
 The John Van Ryn- Manned AIon- 70 match Of inc next round prom lScs to be q thriller. though it is 2 wise thing 10 select the older, tried player 10 win and call it an upsut if he doesn't. I am going 10 b" q little original and pick Van Ityn in this match.
 Rene Lacoste Is an almost win ncr from the Japanese ace, Take ichi Harada, but the match should bring out some wonderful tennis. Iiarada's game is thoroughly Amer iranized. lIo has greater speed and hrllliancc than any Of his country men and he can come 10 the nct 10 vollcy. The Japanese have had steady back court games in tho past and cXCcllcd because they were iircless, but with annual play in America, they are learning q more versatile game. They will always be somewhat handicapped by their very short stature. for service and overhead, and their short stride for court covering.
