What small chance the U. S. team then had left to win the Davis Cup back from France in this week's challenge round, stayed alive for one more day. George Lott and John Van Ryn played magnificently against Perry and George Patrick Hughes. With Lett's service dominating the play, they won their match 8-6, 6-4, 6-1.
