Wimbledon, July 20.
The last two singles in the Davis Cup Tie between America and the British Isles were played here yesterday and resulted in wins for the Americans, Mr. Johnston beating Lieut.-Colonel Kingseote 6-3 4-6 3-6, 6-4 7-5 and Mr. Tilden beating Mr. Parke 6-2 63 6-5.
Col. Kingscote played probably the finest game of his career and fully held his opponent, who, however, failed to reproduce his best form. Ultimately Col. Kingscote's somewhat weak service proved his undoing.
Mr. Tilden played a class ahead of Mr. Parke, winning how and when.he chose. Experts agree that Mr. Tilden is the greatest match-winning player that the world has ever produced. His service is harder than that of any player of any period and his all-round game, driving, volleying and smashing is superlative.
America has thus defeated the British Isles by 5 matches to 0 and it is confidently anticipated that she will beat Australasia in the challenge round.—Reuter.
