Most Gumes to Lacoste. Tilden defented Lacoste in the first of the singles 1-0, 6-4, 6-4, 12-6, 6-3, a score which reveals that the Frenchman actually took 23 games as against Tilden's 21.

Rene Lacoste served first and he took his game casily. Tilden made the score 1-1 by win- -ning his service after douce had been called several times, but afterwards the American appeared to be all at sea, giving many easy openings for Lacoste
