Lott and Tilden Tumble as French Aces Make Clean Sweep First Day

Borotra and Cochet on Top With Brilliant Play in Davis Cup Matches Chicago Youth Takes One Set Out of Four, While Veteran Bill Goes Down in Defeat Without Victory as Opponent Dazzles. Bv Lm'rfl rrr„, ArTEUFL, France. July 26. —France won both singles matches in the opening day\ play of the Da\is tennis cup challenge round today when Henri Cochet defeated William Tilden in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. after Jean Borotra had beaten Ceorge Lott, in four sets. 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5. A packed gallery of B,oou wat<-hed the two Frenchmen rout the Americans.

Although Lott won one set from Borotra and carried the fourth set to deuce, there was never a moment during the match when the blonde Chicago boy looked like a winner. Occasionally Lott had Borotra worried and working hard, but the Bounding Basque’s finer assortment of strokes and daring net play conquered him. Toys With Tilden. Tilden was completely at. the mercy of Cochet. who allowed the American veteran only six games in the three sets. By winning both matches today France virtually clinched the Davis cup for another year. To retain the cup she needs only one more victory in the remaining three matches, the doubles Saturday and the two singles Sunday. Asa result of the two French triumphs, Jacques Brugnon probably will pair with Cochet in the doubles against Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn Saturday in order to give Borotra an extra day's rest for his match against Tilden Sunday. Lott will play Cochet in the other singles match Sunday. I.ott Needs Experience The stands were rather surprised at the fine but losing battle Lott put up against Borotra. Lack of experience probably cost Lott many points, as the Chicago boy failed to take full advantage of the Basque’s mistakes. It took Cochet only fifty minutes to swamp Tilden. The Frenchman’s uncanny anticipation, effortless ground covering and racquet magic completely routed the American veteran. Cochet Baffles Tilden tried every stroke in his repertory, but Cochet kept driving the ball back until Big Bill finally errred. The Frenchman did not find it necessary to put on full pressure against Tilden. but allowed the American to brat himself. Most of Cochet's placements were the result cf maneuvering Tilden out of position.

WITH THE BIG LEAGUERS

H ACK WILSON gained great distinction for the second consecutive day when he clubbed two doubles and a home run to aid Chicago in its third straight victory over the New York Giants Thursday. The score was 3 to 5. a a a Wilson's homer, his third in two davs, was not as effective as his second double which came in the eighth inning and drove In two runs. The victory increased Chicago's lead in the National by a half game as the Pittsburgh Pirates were idle.

THE TXDTAHAPOLTS TIMES

| Title Scrap Sees Dundee Lose on Foul Fields Wins Undisputed Possession of Welter ! Crown; Floors Opponent. ! Bu Vnlted Pr<'*s DETROIT. July 26.—0n the head ; of Jackie Fields the world's welterweight crown rested today. Jackie won undisputed claim to ’ the title Thursday night when he was fouled by two low punches in : the second round of his title fight i with Joe Dundee. Baltimore Italian. ! who had been dodging the foremost | challengers of his division with such consistency that he already had been deprived of his title by the National Boxing Association. Jackie started after Dundee in the initial round and was ahead on points when the bell sounded. He opened the second round by flooring Dundee for a count of six. Joe came in to take another smash on the jaw and went down for the count of seven. As Joe came up, he staggered against the ropes and then lunged toward Fields, both arms swinging wildly. The first, a right, landed in the groin and Jackie fell back in pain amid the crowds boos. The second, a left, also landed low and Jackie fell prostrate to the floor. When it was obvious he was too badly hurt to continue, Fields’ hand was raised as winner—as newly crowned welterweight champion of the world. The new champion had been the favorite in the betting, odds ranging from 7 to 5 to 2 to 1. Jackie's victory was convincing. He was master of the fight from the outset and had whipped Dundee badly. The fight drew a crowd of approximately 31,000 and gate receipts ot about $175,000. The show was put on by Floyd Fitzsimmons and was the first under Michigan’s new state law permitting fifteen-round bouts.

Just Two a Day

MAYBE it’s high time to hold another investigation of baseball. A Brooklyn player led the National League in batting for more than a week. Baa THERE is some demand that the United States Lawn Tennis Association abandon the word “love” as used in scoring matches.

Great Catch by Layne Is Real Berries Herman Saves Thursday’s Tilt for Indians. Despite Brewer Sluggers. Tiiiirs Special MILWAUKEE. July 26.—Four more games to go for the Indians in the current series with the Brewers and everything even. The Hoosiers squared matters Thursday by staggering in with an 9 to 8 victory as Herman Layne raced to the flak pole in deep center and snared Pick's ; violent drive for the game-ending ! out. Lebourveau was on base at the ! time and but for that spectacular I catch of Layne's the count would : have been tied and Pick would have : reached third. It was one of the best game-saving i plays of the year at Borchert field. Bud Teachout went the full route for the Betzelites despite the fact I he was in hot water frequently, the Brewers scoring in five of the innings. He was touched for twelve hits, and two were home runs, two l were triples and one was a double. ! Milwaukee fans had a big laugh over ! the defeat as they discussed the five extra base swats made by the home ! pastimers. j Pick and Geygan got circuit drives J for the Brewers, Griffin and Jenkins | poled triples and Pick a double, i Monahan and Sprinz were the chief wallopers for the Tribe winners, the former amassing two doubles and a single and the latter three singles. “Choe” Sprinz would look good in a Milwaukee uniform for he would have no trouble finding plenty of residents who speak the “Cherman” language. Two runs scored by the Indians in the ninth Thursday saved them from defeat. Monahan opened it with a double. Barnhart sacrificed. Sprinz singled, scoring Monahan. Stroncr forced Sprinz. Connolly - singled, and Bejma doubled to score Sironcr, which means that ihe rookie Bejma drove In what proved the winninjr run. Gevgan was busy at second all day ac- ' cepting assists or making putouts. Grimes also was active at short for the Brewers. ! VVarstler turned in some brilliant play--I guarding the short field for the Indians. | He "robbed" a couple of home boys of hits. | Matthews is In a hatting slump and he j wasn't used Thursday. | Robertson was knocked off the Milwaukee I mound in the fourth and Buvid relieved. } The Indians collected seven hits off Robbie and eight off Buvid. If the Hoosiers had dropped that fracas Manager Betzel no j doubt would have taken a running dive j into Lake Michigan. About 1.500 cash customers viewed the struggle. In the seventh inning the Indians got a double and single and the Brewers made three errors, vet only one run scored.
