TILDEN DOWNS LA COSTE IN GRUELING STRUGGLE U. S. Star Is Four Times Within Point of Defeat in Five-Set Contest, But Rallies Brilliantly. Johnston Overwhelms Borotra. By the Associated Prese.

Today’s concluding encounters not only drew a gallery of 9,000 fans, larger than either previous day. witnessed tennis as s in the series The Tilden-La Coste strugsle go down among the epics of Davis Cup or any other competition, n only because of its lensth and bril- ce, but because the acknowledged hampion of the world was within an eyelash of toppling. Perhaps Tilden discounted La Coste's strength. He started slowly and with characteristic carelessnes: There was no doubt of that, but there also was little doubt that when he set himself to win he found an opponent worthy brilliantly steady pitch and determined to win, capablé of giving the Amer- fcan a battle for points every inch of the way. La Coste Missed Chances. La Coste had every opportunity to win, but somehow he found it impo: sible to put over the victorious strok when it came to a crisis. It ar g the way the American pulled up, only to suffer a relapse, then come back again. Tt looked like the end of Tilden when La Coste raced through the first four games of the third set. Til- den was fighting desperately now, but who had ex- | of his steel, a foe keved to| | it was not until the fifth game that he |found a winning opening.

Tilden smashed over two points to win, square the set, then race through the next two games to victory at 8—6. Wild Shots Costly, in the fourth set, La Coste led at 5—4 and 30—15 on Tilden's service, but again he falled in the inch and hit wild on three straight | shots to toss away another big chance. This was his last, for Tilden, gather- inged feet, dashed pitcher after pitcher out the set to square the match, this swept aside his rival's brief resist- ance in the fifth set. They were a dramatic pair, these | two, in their nerve-wracking struggle. Tilden tried everything in his des- perate fight against defeat.

In the | fading light the Californian’s fore- | handers streaked over the mnet, elud- ing _even the acrobatic Borotra's reach or forcing him into errors. It was a smashing victory for Johnston, the most decisive of any In the series.

Voigt, star. golfer of the Bannockburn Golf Club and a former holder of the District public links title, yestegday won the annual Fall goli tourna- ment of the Bannockburn club, defeating Harry G. Pitt of the Manor club, also a former public links star, Voigt's game yesterday was far steadier than that of Pitt, but Volgt must thank his stars he got away with & win at the short sixth and a half at the long seventh, for he might easily have lost both holes. Pitt, on the other hand, was unsteady from the tee and failed to putt with the bril- lianey shown by Voigt. After the fourth hole the {ssue never was in doubt, the.Bannockburn star showing himself master of the match from that point to the finish. \ Voigt won the qualification round last Thursday with a score of 73, and upset all the traditions of the royal and ancient game when he also won the tournament, for goif precedent has it that a medalist never wins the tournament. Precedent is not the only thing Voigt will upset if he continues the same fine brand of golf he showed in_winning the Bannockburn event. The end came on the short fifteenth, where both men were on the green from the tee and Pitt’s try for a 2 stayed_out, while Voigt laid his ball dead. Volgt also won the tourney last year.

PHILADELPHIA, September 12.— “Long Jim" Barnes, British open champlon, was 9 up on Willie Mac- farlane, American open champion, when they finished today's round in |their unofficial world championship | golf ‘match of 72 holes. Yesterday at the Philmont Country Club, Barnes was 5 up at the end of the day’'s play of 18 holes. Today's 18 holes were played at the White Marsh Country Club. The remaining 36 holes will be played at Washington, D. C. next Thursday. Barnes formerly was professional at White Marsh and played more bril- lantly over his old course than he did at Philmont. For the 18 holes today he was one stroke over the course par of 71. Macfariane was steadier with his driving than on the first day, but his putting slumped. On six occasions he failed to get down putts a player of his ability usually expects to sink. Barnes, on the other hand, always laid his first putt dead to the cup, to sink an easy second putt, and some times ran down his first. On one hole, the fifth, Barnes sank a 45-foot putt for an eagle 3, but could do no better than halve the hole, as Mac- farlane got down a 10-footer for an, eagle. This hole was the high light of the match. Macfarlane won only three holes during today’s_match. He took the second with a birdie 3 and the fourth When Barnes was bunkered from.the tee.

PHILADELPHIA, September 12. —Molla Mallory, New York, today won the Middle States lawn tennis championship for women by defeating Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup, Wil- mington, Del., in the final round, 6—3, 4—6, 6—2. In winning, Mrs. Mallory retrieved her defeat at the hands of Mrs. Jessup in the Delaware cham- pionship early in the Summer. The tournament was played on the Phila- delphia Cricket Club courts. However, Mrs. Jessup emerged from the tournament with some glory, for in the Joubles she and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, California, defeated Mrs. Mal- lory. and Miss Helen Jacobs, also of Caiifornia, and the girls' national sig- gles champion, 7—3, 6—3. Mrs. Jessup owed her defeat in the singles to her faflure to place her shots within the boundaries of Mrs. court on frequent sallies to the net. In the second set, which she. won, she was able to control her vol- leys and scored telling placements. Mrs. Mallory played her back court game throughout, satisfied to keep the ball in play until her opponent erred. MIDDLEBURY VS. YALE.

ANNAPOLIS, September 12.—In a tricity clay pigeon shooting match held on the grounds of the Annapolis Gun Club at Eastport this afternoon Baltimore gunners won with the fine score of 922 in a possible 1,000. Wash- ington was second, with 859, closely pressed by Annapolis, with 852. Sixty- four gunners engaged, and the team score was up of the individual scores of the 10 highest from each eity. < Andividual honors were won by George Clark of Annapolis. In the first round Clark “killed” 95 out of 100 birds, and H. M. Duyckinck of Baltimore had the same score. In the shoot-off Clark knocked 24 in 26 and his rival one Jess.

The scores were member of the Capital's group of racketers. The match was nip and tuck from the start, Smith running up three straight games only once, during the first set, and neither racketer scoring an ace during the entire length of the contest. In the third set, with the score-in games 2 to 0 against him, Mitchell younger { staged a comebaclk that netted him the | lead three times, but he lacked the ac- | curacy necessary to clinch the vic- tory and get back in the runming. When only one point was needed to give him the set his long drives from the back court became erratic, and the visiting racketer scored without difficulty. Smith was hard pressed in thd sec- ond set also, but with the count at 5-all managed to earn the necessary margin for victory.® After he had cap- tured the first two games the local boy matched him point for point until the break came at the end. SHAMROCKS DEFEAT PULLMANS, 9 T0 2 ‘Willie Glascoe’s Shamrocks, District champions in 1924, came within hail- ing distance of another base ball title yesterday when they trounced the Pullman nine, 9 to 2, to take top hon- ors in section A of the City Sandlot League. Tommy Thompson, veteran right- hander of the big green combination, was sent to the mound by the Sham- rock manager and succeeded in hold- ing the Railroaders scoreless until the seventh inning. Meanwhile his mates were slugging away at the offerings of Farrington with a marked degree of guccess. Next Saturday the Shamrocks will meet the Knickerbockers in the first game of the play-oft for the cham- pionship of the District.
