COCHET EXTENDED BUT EXCELS

CHARITY MATCH'S TAME CONCLUSION

The largest crowd that has yet attended the professional tennis exhibitions at the K.C.C. yesterday witnessed the French ace, Henri Cochet, fully extended in several passages of an ex- citing duel with Francisco Aragon.

Curlet won the match at 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, and had to pull ant some brillinut shots to confine the meeting to four sets.

The crowd was delighted with the exhibition in which the Filipino exponent repeated his previous performance in taking a set from the visitor. The proceeds of the event were for charity.

From the start Aragon touched the peak of his form whilst Cochet Was frequently wrong with ground shots and made other mia- takes. Aragon never went up to the net and on the occasions when Cochet attempted to play the shots in which he excels the Filipino paused him adroitly on the side lines.

“I'LL FLATTEN THE SEPIA SLUGGER!"

Many people, I think, were a little hard on Max Baer because of the wild threats he uttered against Joe. Louis on the eve of the big figlit. "I'll flatten the sepia slugger," he exclaimed, “like I flattened Max Schmeling and Primo Carnera. I'll just tear the head off his shoulders."
