I was particularly pleased to sor in the news that Wimbledon has new clunion in the person of Henri Cochet. In-achieving thi honour Cochet defeated Tilden and Barotra in the semi-final and final respectively and in doing so he earned the distinction of beating two former Wimbledon champions- a fent which I think has not been i dons before Tilden was champion in 1920 and 1921 and Borotrà in 1924 and 10925.

It is always pleasant when a new champion emerges and Cochet is no exception.

It is for the good of the game that Corbet has won. This perfor 'mance in beating Tilden und Borotra will serve as a stimulus to other ambitious stars who will assur edly aim at beating him in due course.
