They fear that Connecticut has seen its last championship fight. The only thing we can say after eing Slatlery and Rosenbloom in action the other night, is that Con- necticut won't miss muche if no more title fights like that are pro- tuced as a public spectacle. To some partisans, the bout might have been a good one, but to an: one not particularly interested in the outcome, the fight was a poor match and a terrible exhibition. | Slattery, clever and fast as light- | ng. should wear the cobriquet of utious Jimmy.” He certainly the part last Tuesday night ( icted to perfection.

Rene Lacoste is far from right. A | which will speed up the courts may help La-| coste get into his stride. He is at his best on the hard, fast surface of the indoor courts and his game goes down grade in relation to the rela- tive fastness of the playing surface. The Longwood courts are the slow- est in captivity and Lacoste suffeffr- ed accordingly. The young colts of the American Davis cup squad, J Doeg and cGorge Lott are of the young gen- eration that command to be hoth een and heard. They apparently do not need to be seasoned. Already they have the courage of lione, the fighting heart, confidence and poise of the older veterans. When the Frenchmen went into the lead in the fifth set 5-4, the wise one of tennis said, “the Frenchmen will win now, when experience counts.” The youngsters never weakened for the fraction of a moment. George Lott was like a race horse waiting for the flag. He was tense and cager but not nervous. He played brilliant- Iy, mixing up his shots, combining speed and change of pace with all of the fitnesse of an artist. When the yvoungster went into the lead in games, George Lott drove home the advantage by speeding up his serv- jce. The Frenchmen usiilly set the pace but they could not gain on| Lott. He matched them stroke for stroke and then went them one bet- ter. Today George Lott played m,[ spired tennis Johnnie Doeg was superb on hvs‘ service and overhead, but he was | | weak off the ground. particularly on return®of service. Also in the ex- changes at the net he was caught too far back from the net. He was not quick to step into his voll The other three seemad to be think- ing too fast for Johnnic. He is of the slow, powerful type. Tlenri Cochet is playing by far the sest tennis of all the Frenchmen. He was as quick as a on the ball before it had scarcely risen from the ground. He stood inside of the back line 1o receive Doeg's pow- erful service and he handled it won- derfully well. This playing in close takes a very quick eye and short stroke and Cochet has both. They say of Henri Cochet that he | does not do the usual thing in ten- nis. If the logical play is one thing Cochet is sure to do the other, that is why he is so hard to guess. He is the sort of a genius who senses the right time to do the wrong thing. If that is involved, then simply this, Cochet does the unexpected. Jacques Brugnon seemed in a highly nervous state and found a great deal of trouble in refurning the ball low over the net from the very low bound of the ball off the coggy sur He seemed o lift the ball up into the ecager and ting rackets of Lott and™ Doeg who stormed the net and played close in. The Dick Williams and Bill John- ston combination looked very good. They won their match in easy style They will have their first real test when they meet Lott and Doeg in the semi-finals, The Davis cup com- mittee one and all are hanging on every play of the Williams-John- ston team and chuckled whenever Dick slipped over one of his fo angles and cheered Johnston's mighty forward wallop.
