In the lift of one wave she thought she saw her son, lying on his side with arms beseeching; but the vision passed as the wave fell in a dull smother. The next wave was empty. Mrs. Ravmitzky watched its cruel curve and pounding explosion, when, in the hissing sheet of dirty foam that moved toward her, she saw her son again, face down this time, legs askew, as if he were sleeping.

In the East-West team matches at Forest Hills, Tilden beat William M. ("Little Bill") Johnston, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. It was a dull match.
