Even though everyone realised Cocliet would again clinch the Davis Cup, it was a tense day, more so when the dashing, resourceful Tilden conquered the tired Borotra* After the first set Tilden began his headwork. ; Mighty slams spoiled Borotra’s acrobatic volleying, and made hirn run from side to side in pursuit of lightning drives. Gradually Tilden wore down the Frenchman. Cochet’s win against Loll was cliildsplay. Tlie champion had a. sluggish spell in the second set. Cocliet returned seemingly unplayable shots, lobbed with great accuracy. His crosscourt drives were disconcerting. France won by 3 to 2. PARIS, 28th July.
