Tilden and Norton had a merry fight on their hands in defeating Alonso and Johnson yesterday, i—9, 5— 8—6, 6—2. s Almost every strategy known to the game was employed in turn be< fore the lithe and spectacular Span- fard and his calm Philadelphia | teammate were subdued. No one man | was the star, and every one was 3! his best excépt perhaps Tilden. whin played more spotty tennie than 1s his* custom. But, he, too, excellet when points were most needed. The attack of Tilden and Norton was directed largely against Alonso, whose game was believed to be mord erratic and vulnerable than his team- mate’'s. As a result Johnson hardly was warmed up, while Alonso chased after ball. ntike previous games in which tha Spaniard has taken part, few soft spots were directed his way. He wat kept back near the base lines wit long lobs, and his returns from ths | bosition were often on the verge of marvelous. Whether he faced thy { court or the stands his returns werg accurate. Johnson excelled at his loia bing game and was able to changy his pace and direction often to the consternation of his rivals. Norton Is Invulnerable.

In order that! the left hand may function properly | it is necessary that the grip should | be taken almost entirely in the fin-| gers and very little in the palm of | the hand. This will allow the leit | hand to be well over the shaft. The right should also be mostly a finger | grip. While this grip may feel awk- ward at first, it will soon become casy and natural.
