A three-to-one lead rolled up yes- terday was too much for the Americans to overcome, although they managed to even matters at three apicce at one stage of play. Singles Hard Fought. The day’s singles matches, all hard fought, featured the principal Frenci and American candidates for Davis cun teams of future years. They resultad in victories for Frank Hunter. the lon® veteran, over De Buzelet, 6—4. 2—8. | 97, for another American, John Doeg. | over Pierre Landry, 4—6. 6—4. and for Christian Bou over Wilbur F. Coen, jr., by scores o 7—5. 5—6. in a tilt between the “babies of the teams. | American hopes of a tennis renais- sance founded upon “Junior” Coen re- ceived something of a jar when the 16- year-old little giant from Kansas City bowed in straight sets to Boussus, French southpaw of 20. But although Coen was unable to fake a set, the g, match was fiercely contested. | In both sets Coen staged remarkable pull ups after starting badly. In the first he was down five games to one when he reeled off four straight to tie the count. The effort told and Boussu: killing ball after ball with vicious over- head smashes at the net while Coen's strong driving game suffered a lapse in control, went on to take the set. Coen was within a point of winning the second set in the twelfth game. but netted in disheartening fashion. With match point against him four times, Coen serving, fought his way up from love-40 to deuce in the final game only to lose out in the end when a drive went just outside. Youths Are Impressive. Fully as impressive as Boussus was his team mate, Rene de Buzelet, 21, | who came within a centimeter or so of trimming Frank Hunter. The stocky |y veteran from New Rochelle eventually hammered the French boy into submis- | &ion with his punizhing forehand drive, huthno}: in the easy n:innner wmch}".'m i off Delas might have been expecied of the man | " - % Tho tops all American players in the | v, o i 1 taoms, o BASTE i 4 s | United States Lawn Tennis Association | ninz: off Willoughbs. 2 in 21: innings.

Much of the drama of the day was | & reserved for the doubles. Lott and | Hensssey, backed by the confidence | born of having won the national crown | jast week by beating another strong French team and a powerful Australian pair as well, took the court with the count at four matches to three against | their team. More than 7.000 persons massed in the £ands were pulling for them to win and cven matters. But | £omebody must have overlooked Borotra, When play started he was all over the court. Always a master of that most sensational of shots—the smash at the net—he outdid himself in this match. As Borotra's net game went so went France. He lapsed into errors in the second set after he and “Toto” had taken the first. but he steadied and in the next two sets again he was almost certain death to balls above his head.

Paul Waner and Rogers Hornsby are thundering onto the finish more closely bunched than any other pair of National League rivals since John Arnold Heydler went into office a decade ago The increasing difficulty of adding an honest point or two merely by sky- larking through one fine afternoon is making the Hornsby-Waner duel all the more exeiting.
