TILDEN TROUNCES NUSSLEIN.
Concedes But One Game.
CHOP AND SLICE USED.
I
Long Beach, L. I., May 22, Following their bitterly fought match at Montclair, N. J., yester- day, William Tilden, world's pro- fessional tennis champion, scored his the most decisive victory of many meetings with Hans Nuss- lein of Germany to-day at the Lido: Country Club.
Adapting his game to the soft- neas of the court, heavy from yea- terday's rainfall, and taking advant- age of the wind, the former monarch of the amateur ranks had his opponent at sea with his chops and slices. Only one game-could the youthful German champion salvage from the match, which went at 6-1, 6-0).
Works Havoc With Strokes Any one seeing Nusslein to-day could hardly appreciate him for Не the first-class player he is. simply was unable to find himself on the soft surface, and Tilden's ent abota, baited for the error, worked havoc with his beautiful.. ground strokes. As one-sided as the match was, however, it was far from uninteresting, for Tilden's masterful shot-making was a strong redeeming feature.
