Hilden 2d, defeated R. Lindley Mur
ray in an exhibition match at Phila
delphia yesterday. The scon- was
6 2, 8 6. It was the first meeting
of the two players since their match
at Forest Hills last September, when
Murray triumphed in the national
singles final. Tilden abandoned his
usual rushing style, and instead of
going to the net whenever possible
played the back court and mid-court.
The drove, smashed, lobbed, killed
ut:tI carded the ball, never using the
same style for long.
Japan held the centre of the stage
in the open tournament of the Har
lem Tennis club in New York on its
courts yesterday afternoon. Those
who came to see the play knew what
Ichiya Kumagae .could do and they
wanted to see him do it. But they were
not sure about K.en Yamasaki, the
latest arrival from the Iand of the
Rising Sun, and they were rather
keen to find out just how good he was.
Miss Molla Bjurstedt, national lawn
tennis champion, will defend the title
beginning on June 16, in the tourna
ment at the Philadelphia Cricket club.
That information came definitely from
the c'ub yesterday, when it announc-
eu mat. il nua o'namea iuisa rjur
stedt's promise to compete.
