COCHET IS PLAYING
IN 0LD-T|ME FORM
Two Wins Over Borotra and
Victory in Doubles Seen
as Americas Hope.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A UTEUIL, France, July 23.-Big
~ Bill Tilden and Henri Cochet
get the headlines. but the fate
of the Davis Cup, emblem of
international team tennis supremacy,
may depend to an even greater degree
on George Lott and Jean Borotra.
Lott and Borotra are expected to be
nominated for singles duty in the chal-
lenge round opening Friday, with Til
den and Cochet virtual certainties. for
the other singles.
Cochet was off form in the British
championships and fell victim to VIII
mer AlliSon's brilliant play, but right
now the French ace seems to be play
ing as formidable game as ne ever
has. If he is the Cochet Of old then
he will be Overwhelmingly favored to
beat Lott and there will be many to
doubt whether Tilden, despite his great
comeback, can halt the one time ball
boy from Lyons.
Granting for the purpose of argu-
ment then a double victory for Cochet
in singles, France can start the chal-
ienge round with two triumphs virtually
in the bag before ball is hit. Tilden
always has been Borotra'S master in
outdoor play and Allison and John Van
Ryn seem to be superior to any doubles
combination the French can put on
the court. II play follows form, these
four matches. three in singles and the
doubles, will be evenly divided, two for
America and two for Cochet. That
will leave the final result depending
entirely on the singles encounter be-
tween Lott and Borotra.
last wear the United States would
have regained the cup had Lott been
able to beat Borotra, but the Basque,
a money player" was too much for
him.
Since then Borotra now 80 years old,
has become no younger, and Lott has
gained experience and the result may
be different. But the recent British
championships would not indicate that
Borotra has gone back so far that he
cannot beat the young Chicagoan.
The Frenchman beat George at Wimble-
don and hopes to repeat at Auteuil. II
he does only a victory for Tilden over
Cochet can regain the cup for the
United States.

FRENCH GIVE new

tennis and shows that the game
is being raised another notch in
the way of commercializing.
Until the French tennis authorities

40 cents a head, prize-fighting was the
only sport which could boast of this
practice. So tennis has taken a leaf

IRON Atlanta today comes word of an
l. innovation which will interest
golfers throughout tEc world Under
the auspices of the Professional Golfers
Association Bobby Jones went forth
upon the links Tuesday and there, while
executing all his strokes, was snapped
by super-speed camera taking 5000
pictures a second.
This will give every minute phase of
Bobby Jones world-fampus swings The
p. G. A. will send copies to its members
20 that they will be aided in teaching
golf as well as in improving their own
play.
1t is believed that these pictures will
yield the secret of the Atlantan's great
golf. But will it? "Who can tell?"
And who can tell the genius of Bobby
Jones? Can the camera, even a super
speed camera, reveal It? There are
outer things to be seen, yes. How about
the inner essence of Jones' golf, the
co-ordinating nerves and muscles and
the mental-one might say spiritual
factors? No, no, even a speed camera
is not going to catch 1t all.

Out at Indian Spring, Elliott Spicer is
toting around in his golf bag these days

claims is the absolute unbreakable shaft
It seems that Spicer became annoyed
the other day because he was not play
ing we'll and in the course of the round
his clubs slipped from his fingers-quite
by accident-and several of them broke.
Hunter saw them, and he said that not
only was business picking up in the
shaft line, but prices were also going
skyward, too, for when hickory is used
in wholesale quantities, the price must
go up.
So he warned Spicer that his next
golf shot would cost S25 And yesterday
Spicer hit that hard ground little too
hard with his midiron, and the shaft
snapped in two. So Hunter got the
head and fixed up a shaft made out of
a piece of iron pipe, which he claims
