...dilemma which might have faced the sign painter was avoided when France won, three matches to two. The first day, Henri Cochet, whose nickname, "Ballboy of Lyons," seems less & less appropriate as he gets more & more elegant, had a bad shoulder, but his game, recently off-form, had all its oldtime sparkle. He did not really start to play until "Bunny"' Austin had him a set down and 4-1. Then he took the match 3-6, 11-9, 6-2, 6-3. Borotra then made it look as if England still had a chance by losing to Fred...
Teamed together in the doubles, Wood & Shields lost their match to Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon the day after the singles semifinals.

The other two, Shields and Wood, together with Henri Cochet; John Van Ryn; Jean Borotra, who airplaned back to Paris for business between matches; Bunny Austin, balloon-trousered British Davis Cup player; George Lyttleton Rogers, a big Irishman with a hooked nose; Jiro Satoh, the champion of Japan; and Gregory Mangin and George Lott were last week playing in the greatest single event...
...Cochet, drawn and listless after an attack of influenza, lost his first match in straight sets to an obscure English player named Nigel Sharpe; Mangin lost to Rogers and Rogers lost to Satoh; George Lott was beaten by Harold Lee. Shields, who had never played at Wimbledon be- fore, and Wood were the gallery's favorites. Wood beat the champion of Spain, Eduard Maier, in a straight-set match watched by onetime King Alfonso. Shields, whose resemblance to Wimbledon's favorite William Tatem Tilden II and the fact that he was the first seeded U. S. player, made...
