In the second of the Davis Cup trial matches at Forest Hills the famous combina- tion succumbed befores the greater brilliancy of Vincent Richards and R.

The Philadelphiar hand placements off service electrified the gallery, and in one instance when he found a narrow open! back-hand drive across court from his baseline Tilden stood with his hands on his hips and stared at him. So deadly a menace was Williams in returning service that the opposnig pair adopted a special formation, with Johnston standing on the same side of the rvice Iine as Tilden when the later was gerving in order to protect their territory from the Philadel- phian’s devastating crossfire. At the net, too, Williams was always a threat with -his stinging volleyings angled sharply to the side lines, Tilden did not play with the same the closing stages that he did in the first set and was guilty of a large number of errors. These offset the good playing of Johnston, playing at top speed to the end, clearly had the edge over their opponents in the three last sets. WASHINGTON NETMEN WIN IN MUNY EVENT BALTIMORE, V.
