AMERICANS remain

w WIMBLEDON, England, July 3.
Seven days of play in the
NM British tennis championship
today found Americans still
in the running for four Of
the five titles to be distributed.
Only in the women's doubles does the
United States fail to have a national
representative. True, Elizabeth Ryan,
the former Californian, and her English
partner, Betty Nuthall, still are in that
field, but Miss Ryan has lived too long
In England to be claSsed as full
hedged invader from the United States.
In the mems singles only Big Bill
Tilden remains to carry on for Amer
lea, and the tall Philadelphian was con-
fronted today with semi-final round
opponent who was highly favored to
win, Henri Cochet of France.
In the mems doubles the Americans
were in better situation with Tilden
and Frank Hunter, George Lott and
John Hennessey and Wilmer Allison and
John Van Ryn still in the fold,
Helen Wills, Helen Jacobs and May
Sutton Bundy remain to carry on for
the Stars and Stripes in the women's
singles, and Miss Wills and Hunter
doubles.
Chief interest today was centered on
the mems singles, where Tilden was
matched with Cochet and Jean Borotra

OF England.
Mrs. Bundy, who won the wornan's
title at Wimbledon "a years ago. was

of their opponents.
Finley and Hedekin were the OUT

noticeable as he had been inclined TO
erratic streaks last year, which ten

season. In addition, Col. johnson, VINO

which time he put up an exhibition OF
net play as brilliant as yesterdays was
Mai. Finley saved the day for his
team repeatedly, after Van Vliet, who
like johnson. had been figured as the
mainstay of his combination, weakened.
with the exception of the third set,
in which johnson and Hedekin held the
upper hand, the ultimate winners were
always on the top side. They LED
