T|LDEN AND LOTT
LOSE CUP MATCHES
Frenchmen Virtually Sure to
Retain Tennis Trophy
Another Year.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 26.-France blasted
Americas tennis hopes today by sweep
ing both opening singles matches Of
the Davis Cup challenge round. Henri
Cocnet. the French ace, crushed Big
Ga, after Jean Borotra had vanquished
George Lott, youthful American, 81,
3-6, 6-4, Is.
The double setback came as severe
blow to the challengers, who now face
the forlorn task of winning the remain
ing three matches to lift the cup. All
France needs now to remain supreme
for the third straight year is to win
one more match, either in the doubles
tomorrow or In the remaining two sin
giles contests Sunday.
Lofts Battle Close.
Lott staged a close battle with Boro-
ira, losing a golden opportunity to win
Ttlden never had chance against the
sharp-shooting Cochet. It was the
most decisive defeat Big Bill ever has
suffered in 10 years of Davis Cup COM
petition. The result not only gave
France a lead which appears impreg-
nable, but settled Cochets ranking as
the world champion singles player.
A crowd of 10000 spectators jammed
the Roland Garros Stadium, but was
disappointed in its anticipation of hot
fight for honors. The victorious home
guard was given q tremendous ovation
Set Terrific Pace.
Cochet set terrific pace throughout
his match. The Frenchman kept up q
steady fire that had Tilden looking up
to the heavens for sympathy. Big Bill
took only six games. Otherwise, the
Frenchman had complete command.
He returned Tilden's cannon-ball serv-
ice with electrifying shots, smashed
with deadly precision from all parts of
the court and volleyed superbly. Tilden,
seemingly dispirited, tried all the strokes
In his repertoire without avail.
Tilden tried to stem the tide at the
opening Of the third set. but he won his
own service only after it had twice
gone to deuce.
Cochet quickly won three games in a
row, breaking through Tilden's service
in the third game as he took the ball
on the rise to shoot it back so fast the
American was left gasping. The French
mans anticipation of his rivals shots
was uncanny and he always seemed to
be playing easily.
Both played at O fast pace, taking
plenty Of chances. The tennis was far
superior In thrills to that Of the open
ing match.

Overwhelming sentiment for adoption
