RISING TEMPERS
کہ
None of the spectators guessed at the moment that a fare-up of tem- per would electrify the atmosphere In
Tilden, the next minute.
it scemed to them, was merely making a polite remark.
Mr. Sansoal, perhaps regarding the query as a
a challenge to his judg nicht as an umpire, said stiffly that he was there to give the decisions.
Tilden, the smile still hovering on his lips, indicated that he did not mean to be offensive, was only try- ing to point out a matter of decency, Back came the loud retort from Mr. Sansoni, suddenly stiffened in his sent in high dudgeon, that being the umpire he would look after the score as he wished.
A hush fell on the crowd at that,
"WON'T YOU GET OUT?”
Tilden's face, as he paused abrupt- ly on his way to the other side of the court, was stung shade pale,
"Won't you get out of that sent?" barked the tall ex-world tennis champion facing a sliuntion which, as he mentioned later, he had never experienced in his life-time of play- ing to large and august audiences.
"Not at your bidding!" Mr. San- sont shouted back, adding that he would climb down only if the pro- moter of the exhibition matches, Mr. L. L. Fouseka, who is the hon. scere- tary
of the Ceylon Lawn Tennis Association, wished him leave the seat.
"Where is he?" murmured Tilden between set treih. "Where Is he?
Fortunately for all concerned the promoter was at the moment not to be seen anywhere near the court.
I am certain that if Mr. Fousekn happened to be there, Tilden would have refused to continue unless Mr. Sansoni was asked to leave the um- pire's seat.
