... OUR TENNIS EETTER. MY DEAR TATLER,-- I should think that the French nation will give a wonderful welcome to their boy champions when they return from their victorious visit to the States this autumn. Certainly they have every reason to be immensely proud of them, for their play in the Men's Singles Championships of America has been little less than marvellous. 1 say their play, because ...

... OVWL TEMKflS) ILETTEEL MY DEAR TATLER, This letter will be all Wimbledon, I'm afraid, for I've been nowhere else for the past week, and have lived in nothing fbut a .lawn tennis atmosphere the entire time. I don't think I have ever seen a keener crowd than the twenty-two thousand people who flooded Wimbledon for the Suzanne -Ryan match in the early part of the week. Of course, even the vast ...

... . A/T y Dear Tatler, This week's chief lawn-tennis event in London, as far as the juniors a'.e concerned, has been that very interesting fixture, the schoolgirls' tournament at Queen's Club. Although this is only its second meeting, there is no doubt that this comparatively new inno vation has taken firm hold in the matter of popularity, for there are very nearly twice as many competitors as ...

... TO TENNIS LETTER. MY Dear Tatler, This week's list of country tournaments is a very long one, and as usual, the seaside meetings have proved the biggest attraction. One of the biggest meetings in the South of England is the Bournemouth week, for there are many hospitable house-parties for the tennis folk, and an extremely agreeable week's play for anyone who eoes there. Sir Leonard Lyle and ...

... OUR. TRNOTS JLRTTRR. A/T y Dear Tatler, In spite of the fact that the London tournaments are over for the time being, the most interesting lawn tennis of the week has undoubtedly been played very close to the Metropolis, and I was able to watch some keen play in the final rounds at Queen's Club. E. R. Avory (Stowe), has added yet another success to his list of victories, and his win in this, ...

... OUR TRNMIS LETTER. MY DEAR TATLER, To begin with, I can't help telling you that I'm sad, horribly sad, that Wimbledon is over again and that we have another whole year to wait before we shall all meet again for another fortnight of wonderful tennis and delightful meetings with old friends. I don't know how much the people enjoy Wimbledon, but certainly the players all like it, and I, for one, ...

... . A/T Y Dear Tatler, After the great excitements of the challenge round of the Davis Cup -excitements which were not confined to the actual play itself but which began much earlier, when, after his suspension just before the Italian-American final, the last-moment reinstatement of William Tilden and his subsequent wonderful come-back in the opening single when he revenged himself for his ...

... OUR TBMNIS BETTER. TV/T y Dear Tatler, This has been a very busy week, with plenty of lawn tennis of every kind and description. To begin with of course we had the three doubles finals at Wimbledon, which, although they were really intensely interesting, seemed just a shade of an anti-climax after the wonderful thrills of the two singles. Bill Tilden, however, had something of a revenge for ...

... GW TEMMIIS LETTER. IVT Y Dear Tatler, Naturally, the big item of news in the lawn- tennis world this week has been the barring of William Tilden by the United States Lawn Tennis Association on the very eve of the American v. Italian Davis Cup match in Paris. Without going into the exact reasons which caused the association to take such an extremely drastic step, it would seem a most ...

... OUM. TEMNJS LETTER. MY DEAR TATLER, Picking up the paper just lately, as a curious coincidence I happened to read the final accounts of the Davis Cup matches (in which, as at the recent Olympic Games, America fairly swept the board) at the same time as the account of the Eastbourne Devonshire Park finals (probably the largest grass court meeting in the country). And having done so, it was ...

... .. TV/T Y Dear Tatler. There is no doubt that our hardly-won victory in' the Wightman Cup match has been by far the most important item of news in the lawn-tennis budget this week, and has been a very popular win. As I said before, I thought we ought to win this match, but there is a vast deal of difference between what one ought to do and what one does, and it was with a great feeling of ...
