Britain Beats France
Two Outstanding Results
Paris, May 22.
The annual international club tennis contest between Britain and
France attracted unusually keen interest fo-day. Britain de feated France by eleven matches to eight.
From a British viewpoint, the most instructive match was the doubles contest between I.G. Gol- lina and Dr. Gregory for Britala and Cochet and Borotra, the lead- ing French pair. It has been argued that Gregory and Colling are as good a doubles
pair as there is in the world and should be requested to practice together for Davis Cup purposes.
After tin, three inspections of the wicket were made and finally at 3.30 it was decided that play was possible;

The game continued at a very slow rate, the only bright patch being the partnership between F.. F. Fincher and Pat Madar.
Stumps were drawn with the core at 50 for four wickets, made in 100 minutes.
Second Day's Play.
Shanghai, May 22. The Interport match was resumed at 11.35 nm. in sunny weather and on a drying wicket. Madar and A. C.
