SKILL AND GENERALSHIP.
London, October 19. Defending his title of covered court champion at Queen's Club on Saturday, Jean Borotra defcated hia challenger, J. Satoh, by 3 sete to 1. The score was 10-8, 6-3, 0-6, 6-3.

His service on Satur day, as good as it has ever been and singularly free from double faults, remained the spear-head of his attack. His ground shots, once his eye was trained to the dismal
