DAVIS CUP MATCH. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, September 5. Tilden defeated Kumagae 9 —7, 6— l, fl —1. The Jap’s conservative . close playing stood him in good stead.

It is understood that Kumagae intends permanently to retire from the tennis world on returning to Japan. FINAL AMERICAN VICTORY. New York, September 5. Johnson defeated Shimidzu fl—3, 's—7. 6 2, 6—4. Johnson had less difficulty iu defeating Shimidzu than Til den had on Friday. Johnson’s game, while conservative, was still sufficiently aggressive to overcome Shimidzu’s one. style of play, which makes a return without aiming for placements.
