T played the best game I know Eennessey Wins set
 Both Cochet and Hennesscy put up a great battle for the first set but the American was successful al- though Henry carried it to deuce.
 Taking a brace the French player ran into a Al lead in the second set only 10 have the 1ndinapolis player come right back with win ming streak which left them tied at four games all
 As Hennessey then took the lead ct 5-4. Cochet appeared to have lost his usual superb confidence. Seem- ingly realizing that France was now one match down in the challenge round and that much depended upon his efforts. was playing more care fully than usual. This produced rather poor tennis as when Cochet is too careful his game suffers He was able to even matters at all, however.
 Changes Tactics
 Until Cochet changed his tactics in
 
 match was much better to watch than that between Lacoste and Til den. Both players were attempting their boldest strokes instead Of the conservative game which ruled the entire previous match. Henressey gave as good as he received foolins Cochet again and again with soft AIo rt, h Ia barrier at the net. In that first set Cochet was able to tie the score at 3-3 and again at all, but Hennes- sey smothered Henri's service to win the set 7-5.
 Cochet won the third set. 6-3. to lead two sets to one.
 Henri Keeps On
 Despite Hennessey's efforts hich twice deuced the set. Henri kept on going to carry the second set at 9-7
 Games went with service in the third set until they stood at three all when Cochet ran out three straight games and the set.
 The Frenchman. who at the rest period had an advantage of two sets 10 one, had always had an edge en Hennessev thus far although the lat ter was never outclassed by any means.
 When Tilden entered the court he received the most tremendous ova- ton ever accorded a tennis player in France Big Bill appeared drawn and thin and wore worried look, while lacoste was in perturhable as ever. Both showed they were very much in earnest by the hard fierce drives they sent over the net in pre- linninaTy volleying practice.

Something other than tennis ap- peared to test the nerves of the players in the third set when fire broke out in one of the stands. creat- ing intense excitement. Cnperturb- ed, Tilden and Lacoste continued playing. No one was injured and damage was slight but it was a scare for the spectators.

 The point score, second set: Tilden ....504 $40 455 4-39-G Lacoste ...341 GOA 0S3 1-25-i
 The players now were even up at one set each but Lacoste gave the impression of playing a steadier game. He made fewer errors than the American whose shots were deadly when unleashed
 While well in the lead in the third set Tilden suddenly appeared to tire and allowed Rene to win his own service and then break through making the score in games, Tilden 4, Lacoste 8. Big Bill was able to rally, however, and pierced the Frenchman's delivery in the next game. Both then won their service games and the set was Tilden's by the same score as the second, 6-4.
 The point score, third set: Tilden ...Sl4 40 cG3 4-36-6 Lacoste ....6Al PA 445 1-33-4
 Tilden at the rest period had French spectators rather worried as 10 the ultimate outcome of the match. although the American had shown a slight slowing up at the end of the third set.
 Had Reserve
 Big Bill had been playing with well-gauged effort and appeared to have more in reserve than at any similar period in matches with La tennis played thus far was not of a spectacular variety.
 Tilden cut loose at the beginning of the fourth set and raced into a 2-1 lead before Rene had a chance to get set. but the Frenchman ac- cepted the challenge and brought the count to 2 games all. Both men now were taking more chances, Til den especially appearing to put everything he had on the ball.

 Lacoste Spurts
