Not listed in the national ranking, not seeded in the national tournament, a young man named William Aydelotte charged to the net in Manhattan last week and chopped the line drives of Julius Seligson into the corners. Each won two sets. In the second game of the fifth set Seligson twisted his ankle, limped, made an ugly face, sat down, got up, went on playing, limping. "Not that will aid a lot" punned the crowd, but critics noted that J. Seligson's game had slumped before his ankle, applauded Aydelotte as he went on to win the fifth set and the U. S. indoor tennis title. This year no Frenchmen were entered.

William Tatem Tilden, captain of the U. S. Davis Cup forces, gave up his role in The Buzzard (drama) to start a training camp for Davis Cup players at Augusta, Ga.
