before Freeman's tremendous strength
he was content to go along with the

Realizing that he could not hope to

his elbows with abandon, dazing the

SHIELDS TENNIS WIN
EVENS FRENCH CLASH
U. S. Star Scores an Unexpected
Victory Over Borotra-Bell
Bows to Boussus.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 24.-Thanks to
an unexpected victory for young Frank
Shields over the veteran Jean Borotra,
Americas tennis youngsters were all
even with France today in their inter
national team series, with three more
matches yet to be played.
Borotra, generally regarded as the
worlds foremost indoor player, fell be-
fore Shields in straight sets last night
but the evenings program ended in a
stalemate when Christian Boussus came
from far behind to defeat the slightly
built Texan, Berkeley Bell.
Borotra, who added the American in
door title on Saturday TO those he holds
in England and France, was off form
against Shields and after the first set
the battle wasn't even close. The scores
were rs, 81, 6-3.
Bell after winning the first two sets
of his match with Boussus at IS, is,
then faded and went down in the next
three and match, 6-3, 81, Ga.
Tonight the doubles match will be
played, with George Lott and John Van
Ryn, Davis Cup stars, meeting Borotra
and either Boussus or Pierre Landry.
Tomorrow night the final two singles
matches will be played, with Borotra
matched against Bell and Boussus
against Shields.
