AMERIGANS LOSE: TILDEN SUPREME French Take Tournament But Big Bill “Comes Back” | St. Cloud. France, May 23 (®— {France won the three day Franco- American tennis tournament which fended yesterday, the score being ithree matches tp two. “Big Bill” Tilden stands out as the real player of the tournament, having won both his singles matches. He defeated Jean Berotra yesterday, 6-0, 6-3, and Rene Lacoste Friday, 6-4, ‘His American partner Francis T. Hunter, was defeated in his two singles matches—by Lacoste yesterday. 6-0, 6-0, and by Borotra on Friday, 64, 6-4, Borotra and Brugnon captured the doubles on Saturday 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. “I have no excuses to make,” said Borotra speaking of his match with Tilden. “I lost to a superior player, but I was out until four in morn- ing welcoming Lindbergh. Heowever, it was worth it.” “To Tilden at the conclusion of the match, Borotra remarked: “You play too darned well.” That seemed to Dbe the general opinion of most of those who saw the thrilling deep baseline drives and lobs that came from Tilden's rac- quet; he appeared to be simply toy- ing with the “Bounding Basque.” In the second set, played after a half hour intermission because of a storm, Tilden brought his chop strokes into play and .fhese proved extremely troublesome to Borotra. Lacoste played a strong game against Hunter. although the American used fast and forceful drives, the Frenchman's strategy and driving power were sufficient to offset them. All records for attendance were broken at the Franco-American tournament, not even at the Cannes tournament last year, at which Miss Helen Wills and Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen met, was the attendance ex- ceeded. numbered 7,000; on Saturday 5,000, and on Sunday 8,000, Borotra arriving a few before his match with found he was wunable to secure seats for his party of guests. He saw several empty seats in the press stand and told his friends they might take them. When a gen- darme stationcd at the press gate halted the party, a newspaperman advised him that the man at the head was Borofra. Quickly the gen- darme’s face lighted and his hand rose in salute as he stepped aside to permit the party to enter. Speaking : of Sports There will be an important meet- ing of the I7alcons baseball team at the club room tomorrow evening at 17:30 o'clock called by Manager John Cabay. There are a number of mat- ters to be discussed relative to the &ood of the team and it is impera- tive that all members be present. Bat Battalino will mact Philadel- phia’s champlon, Jimmy Walker, at the East Hartford Velodrome to- morrow night as the headliner of the Massasoit A. C. amateur boxing tournament. This will be Battalino's last appearance as an amateur in his home city and there will be a flock of local amateur fans who will be out to see him. The Philadelphia team is a strong ene and advices sent on from the Quaker City reveal the fact that the backers of Battalino’s oppcnent con- fidently expect him to Win from the national champion. Connecticut fans still stick with Bat. The team that will represent this section against the Philadelphia boxers, is as follows: Charles Pepe, Springflield, and Vin LaBella, Mid- dletown, at 118 pound: Johnny Clinch, New Britain, 135 pounds; Bat Battalino, Hartford, 126 poufids; Pinkey Kaufman, Hartford, 147 pounds; and Ray Hall, Hartford, 147 pounds. ‘The Philadelphia team is as fol- lows: 118 pounds, Tom McConaghy; 135 pounds, Herb Brandow; 126 pounds, Jimmy Waiker; 147 pounds, Tom Gleason; and 143 pounds, Jim- my Ray. Ed Hurley, who handles the af- fairs of the Massassoit A. C., is plan- ning an all-heavyweight card for the Velodrome in the near future. Winsted is the latest Connecticut eity to be added to the list of citics turning to amateur boxing. The sport is flourishing in Hartford, Manchester and this city. minutes Despite the threatening outlook gl dang £ the weather, no event at the Velo- & rome has as yet been postponed. mateur boxing seems destined to be .~ a flourishing condition this year during the open alr season. More than 5,000 fans saw the opening ehow and almost as many saw the second one. These figures, it is ex- pected, will be exceeded tomorrow Wt It is with regret that one recalls the fact that no suitable outdoor place exists in this city where the fans of New Britain could view the sport all the year round. The success of the Meohawk A. C. at the state armory and then at the Tabs' hall shows that amateur boxing has a large following in New Britain. ‘Warm weather makes it precar- for club officials to conduct pws inside and the falling off in de attendance here last week fs given as the cause. .

Batted ball down the base line strikes bag, then foul, what is it? 5. How does an umpire deter- mine what is an infield fly? This Tells It 1. Umpire should call runner out if he is of the opinion he de- liberately kicked the ball. 2. Runner from third is called out on such a play with less than two out. 3. He should be called out for interference. 4. It becomes a fair ball the moment it strikes the bag, regard- less of what later happens. 5. It is purely a matter of judg- ment upon the part of the umpire having jurisdiction over the play. Any fair fly ball he believes an inflelder can handle immediately becomes an infleld fly uuder the proper conditions. Chicago Cincinnat} third goes PHILADELPHIA AB, . P.O. 1 Baldwin, ss .
