FRANCE RETAINS
DAVIS CUP THIRD
SUCCESSIVE YEAR
Lott Puts Up Great Fight
In Singles; Tildcn Is
Easy Victim.

PARIS, July %. U.H-For the
third successive year, France has
wthstood successfully the chal-
lcngc of the United States for the
historic Davis cup.
Borotra defeated George Lott of
Chicago after one of the hardest
fought battles in Davis cup history
81, G-3, 2-6, 6-2, SO. Cochet won
easily over William 7. Tildcn, II,
40, G3, 6-l, 7-5.
The defeat was as sound and con
vincing as any ever administered TO
the United States in a Davis cup
challenge round since 1911, when
the Australians were invinciblc ia
the tennis world.
But while the Americans were
beaten, they found some solacc in
the great fight put up by George
Lott in the deciding singles match
yesterday.
The Chicago boy, facing a man
who he never had been able to
defeat, with the knowledge that
possession of the Davis cup depend
ed upon him, carried the battle to
BOrotra with flash and briliancc.
Lott took the first set, using u
beautiful change of pace, passing
Borotra when the latter tried to
storm the net, and pitching short
lobbs over the Basque'S head. Lotl
led again, two sets to one, when
they paused for a rest, but after
Il brief interval, Borotra opened up
with an irresistible attack. The
Basque ran out the fourth set and
led in the fifth, 4-2, before the Chi
cagoan rallied.
Taking the seventh game on his
own service, Lott broke Borotra's
to square matters at four all. Then
each broke service for the next five
games. The American fought dcs-
pcratcly in the final game, but Bor-
otra had greater strength in reserve
and won.
The concluding singles match be
tween Tildcn and Cochet WAS DUH
by comparison. With no incentive
to win, since Borotra's victory over
Lott had clnched the Davis cup for
France. big Bill" played good
but unspirted tennis game.
Cochct played easily, a smile ON
his lips. handling the Philadelphian
with what seemed to be insolcnt
ease after losing the first set.

challenge round follow:
