TILDEN MEETS
SEC0UD DEFEAT
AT WIMBLEDON

WIMBLEDON, Eng, July l lR-
Wimbledon today witnessed William
T. Tilden'S second successive down
fall on consecutive days Following
on his defeat in the singles yesterday
by Henri Cochet of France, Tilden,
paired with Mrs. Molla Mallory,
American woman champion, was
eliminated today from the mixed
doubles of the Wimbledon tennis
tournament The American team lost
to Baron Won Kehrling of Hungary
and Miss Eileen Bennett of England,
SO, 6-1, Ga.
Tilden's progress today was similar
to that of yesterday. In the opening
set he played a powerful game. His
service was fast, his footWork was
speedy and his recoveries of some
of Kehflings deep drives were amaz-
ing. But, even as yesterday, Tilden
seemed to tire. In the second set
he had less speed, his play was shaky
and he made many errors.
Francis T. Hunter and Miss Eliza
beth Ryan, the other American team
in the mixed doubles, reached the
quarter finals today by relatively
easy victory over A. Berger and Mrs.
Lambert Chambers, 6-1, 8-6
The French mixed doubles team
of Jeon Borotra and Mime. Bordag
was eliminated by H. w. Austin and
Betty Nuthall, ga, 81. The Freneil
pair had shared popular fancy with
Tilden and Mrs. Mallory as favorites
to reach the finals.

She accepted, obviously.
For two reasons! Since her con-

no desire to do any "steppin." And
besides, Stephen was a little too
youthful in his ideas. Sonia was ac-

To atone for this lack of interest,
she was especially sweet to him.

that he danced exceptionally well.
In spite of her first reluctance, the
