LAUGHED AT TILDEN
TENNIS STAR TOOK OFFENCE AT GALLERY BY-PLAY
Reed. 9.5 a.m. NEW YORK, Thurs. AT Rye W. S. Tilden defaulted in the second set in the quarter-final with Cliff Sutter, of New Orleans, in the Eastern grass court tennis tourney today, when he took offence at the actions of the gallery. “I can’t stand this much longer,” he said to the umpire, when several spectators laughed at his failure to win a point. The umpire, Mr. Kahn, asked the crowd to be quiet, but the laughter continued. Tilden walked to the net and shook hands with Sutter and defaulted. He had lost the first set I—6 and was o—4 in the second set when the incident occurred. Van Ryn defeated Hunter, 6—l, 6—l.
