BILLIARD PLAY.
Player Scintillates After Be-
lated Start In Local
Tourney

Jack Rowe, ranking player, re-
turned here to get a belated start
in the Elks billiard tournament Fri
day and Saturday by defeating
Corey, Reid and Hughston. Rowe
has played only four games and
has a perfect mark Of 1000. BY his
play, he definitely let it be known
that he was. very much in the run
ming for the title.
His defeats of Reid and Corey
stamp him as deserving the place
he was given in the handicaps-at
the top Of the list with Bell and
Fernandez.
Bell continues to rock along at
the top Of the percentage column
with a perfect mark after having
played 81 games. He is generally
conceded as the winner Of the
straight tournament as he has only
four or five more games to play.
One Of the most interesting games
Of the tournament should be the
one between him and Rowe. The
latter may plough through his
schedule without a defeat but it
will take expert playing.
The games of Friday and Satur-
day are listed below:

Three Sets IN Speedy
Game

PARIS, July, 27.-(R - France
will have to wait another day toI
pour champagne into the Davis cup
the cleaning silvc- bowl that sym
bolizeS world supremacy in tennis.
Hopeful Of winning three straight
matches, the French sent their best
doubles tea moi Henri Cochet and
Jean Borotra against the United
States but the singles conqueorors|
Of Big Bill Tilden and George Lott
were Soundly and Smartly beaten|
by two American collegians, John|
Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, the
one from Princeton and the other|
from Texas.
France needs but one more VIC
tory in two matches tom ROW, how
ever, to keep the Davis cup another
year. America must win both to|
win back the trophy.
Allison and Van Ryn triumphedI
in double-quick time by scores oil
6-1, Sc, Ga.

gaul would have argued through al
full hour and several drinks on the
proposition that oCchet and Boro-I

nimble and audacious artist at vol-|
leying, beat Bill Tilden and Francis
T. Hunter last year in the Davis
cup finals but they were scarcely "a
match this afternoon for the daz-
zling Americans.
From the first ball, Allison and
Van Ryn gained command at the
net, a precious advantage in doa-
bles play, and nothing tina teither
Borotra or Cochet attc--pted could
drive them aWa-. Before the
Frenchmen could do anything at
all to stop the fast rush Of the
American team, Allison and Van
Ryn raced through the first set at
81 and were leading five to che
n THE second set when Allison let
down a little. AT the same time
Borotra and Cochet made a desper-
ate flight. Then the Frenchmen
went ahead, leading 6-5. In the
18th game, the Americans braced
and took the next two games to
win the second set, 8-6.
The third set was played with
amazing speed. Games followed
service until the ninth when c Sc
ries Of fine sho'- by Allison and
Van Ryn upset Borotra's delivery
and furnished the break that lead
to victory. -
The three sets, comprising 81.
games, were ripped off in just 81
minutes.
