Tilden's Circus

At the Oak Tennis Club, Larchmont, N. Y., William T. Tilden, II, tennis champion, engaged in a "circus" match, "did wizard tricks with his racquet and ball."

In a singles match he "toyed" with Harold Throckmorton, 6-1, 6-2. When things grew dull, or when Throckmorton strove a little too valiantly, Tilden let loose a few fast ones that made Jove and his thunder look like a slow-ball pitcher.

But the "circus" came to town when "Bad Bill," playing double courts, took on Throckmorton and Voshell, also playing double courts. He beat them in a one-set match 7-5.

At the close of the day, which had been cold, wet and continually disagreeable, Tilden and Frederick Baggs went down to defeat before Throckmorton and Voshell, 6-4, 6-4.
