to 4O.7S per cent, with the exception
of a 1911 per cent decline in 1920.

HUNTER BOWS
BY DEFAULT

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 23.-
Thanks to a kind-hearted semi
final round proffered him by
Frank Hunter, Big Bill Tilden will
meet Wilmer Allison here this
afternoon in the final round OF
the Newport Casinos annual invl'
tation tennis tournament.
Allison earned his place in the
last round. He met George Lott
yesterday, and surprised everybody,
perhaps himself included, by win
ming from George in four sets.
That default Big Bill got
from Frank was quite an Al
phonSe and CASTOR act. Both
were very tired from their
doubles exertiOns Of Thursday,
when they had to battle their
hardest to win from Ellsworth
Vines and Keith Gledhill, and
from their singles exertiOns
the same day.
Big Bill wanted to let Frank &C
ahead by default, while he grace
fully stepped aside. But the New
Rochelle publisher couldn't even
think of doing that. He insisted
on doing the defaulting and he
won out.
Tilden is the favorite. He mas.
tered the Texan too easily in the
Wimbledon final for the fans to
concede the Texas star too much
OF a chance.

another of those battles Of the

before long other local clubs

system.
Bannockburn'S system is that an
entrant whose handicap is less

eliminates the possibility of a

flight and walking through the
field.
An entrant whose handicap is
9. 10 or il will be eligible only

An entrant whose handicap is

the fourth and fifth flights. An
entrant whose handicap is IA OF

Five sixteens will qualify, with

OF course three thousand

Judging by the lack of busted
beezers that have resulted
from most of the fights which
have captivated the pugilistic

very sizeable gate had it been
