...William Tatem Tilden broke even. He was ousted from amateur play by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association (TIME, July 30) and he was temporarily reinstated for the finals of the Davis Cup play by the U. S. L. T. A. at the behest of Myron Timothy Herrick, U. S. Ambassador to France. Gallantly, recklessly he conquered Rene Lacoste of France, and was later trounced in straight sets by Henri Cochet of France. Ambassador Herrick, a quick-acting diplomat, knowing that the French would not feel satisfied unless Tilden was in action, promptly said the necessary words...
...William Tatem Tilden has not been popular in France. A year ago at the St. Cloud tournament, the crowd disliked his patronizing attitude, his brusque commands to the ball boys; one section of the stands hissed when he criticized a lineman's decision. But when Rene Lacoste defeated Tilden in the finest tennis ever seen on the Continent, Frenchmen went to the cafes content...
While a wind from the Lake blew little spirals of grey dust across the clay courts of the Chicago Town and Tennis Club William Tatem Tilden II served balls that traveled like gunshots toward a little figure hunched far back of the opposite baseline. The crashing serves generally came back gently, accurately; the little figure, Tamio Abe, champion of Japan, moved quickly from side to side, rarely forward-he knew he couldn't take the net against Tilden's drives, that the best he could do would be to take advantage of errors. Twice Tilden made double-faults...
Last fortnight, there was furious activity on the Thacher campus. Boys and girls, women and William Tatem Tilden II were playing and watching tennis from seven in the morning until seven in the evening. It was an annual affair; in previous years Maurice E. ("Red Comet'') McLaughlin, William ("Little Bill") Johnston, Mary K. Browne, May Sutton Bundy (who won the women's singles for the eleventh time), and many another little Sutton and Bundy had battled for the Ojai challenge cups...
...gringo in question was Robert Kinsey, of U. S. birth, but a member of the Mexican Davis Cup Team. His play last week in the tennis matches against the U. S. was indifferent, almost sour. William Tatem Tilden II ran him razzle-frazzle in three straight sets. That was the beginning of a clean sweep for the U. S. at Mexico City. John Hennessy conquered Ricardo Tapia, schoolboy, and later, with less trouble, Gringo Kinsey. Wilmer Allison won a tough match from Alfonso Unda. In the doubles, Captain Tilden and Arnold N. Jones disposed of Unda and Kinsey...
