William T. Tilden, tall tennis player, met youthful George Lott Jr., University of Chicago student, in the finals of a relatively unimportant Halifax championship, at Ormond Beach, Fla. Tilden sharply rebuked his opponent for juggling balls before serving; strenuously objected to having idle balls removed from the court; succeeded in losing good wishes of the entire gallery.

When he regained speech he told how the Grey Ghost had broken its mooring, leaving him on San Clemente beach. He had tried to scale a cliff, but had fallen into a cactus pit. Rescuers found him, a moaning skeleton propped on its elbow, after eight days...
