 Tilden starts Poorly
 After a nervous start, Tilden swept through to his eighth major tourna- ment victory in succession over the bounding basque. The match was bitterly fought and was featured by q turbulent scene in the third set when Borotra scored a service acr after the American had lifted hs hand 10 indicate he was not ready to play. The umpire ruled that Tildrn had motioned too late and gave the point to Borotra.
 Tilden, already rallying nightly after erring frequently in the first set, rose to new heights after the upsetting incident and trouncel Borotra. parading through to th~ first victory Of the challenge round with only the final desperate effort ot the basque in the fourth and de clding set holding him Up temporar- fly. The basque rallied in the final set after Tilden had run the count 10 5-1 in games. The FrenChman reeled off four straight games bp; could not hold the pace and dropped the deciding set --5.
 No Stopping Tnden
 Once Tuden. favorite 10 heat tIe Basque. hit his stride there was no stopping him. His cannonbau sery- ice aced Borotra repeatedly and he sent the Frenchman from baseline 10 baselire in the third set, Borotra vas very tIwd when the players stopped for a II minute rest after the third set while Tilden appeared fresh and eager.
 Tilden's victory although not sur prising 10 the French, was far more decisive than expected. The Ameri- can No. l star for the past 1o years drawn into the challenge round at the last moment, defeated Borotra at Wimbledon the last time they met.
 Despite the score the closeness of the TiIden- -Bor0tra match was shown by the fact that the victor scored but one point more than the vanquished in the four sets. Tlldsn scored 135 points, Borotra 13+.

Many Of these were hard hit and the official figure for the province set thus far is expected to mount when all reports are in.
 The disaster was made worse for the villages by the fact that many Of them were constructed in rows on mountain sides, so that when the one at the top was stricken the others were knocked by the desoend- ing debris like rows of tin soldiers.
 Many poor families of this district are spending their meager savings On taxicab rides from the spared cities into the country, searching frantically for missing relatives.
