"DISAPPOINTED."
WHAT PATTERSON SAYS " NOT UNEXPECTED" PHILADELPHIA, September 11. Gerald Patterson, interviewed by the "Xew York Herald 7, after the matches, said: — '■I am naturally disappointed at our losing both matches, but it was not entirely unexpected. TiUlen played his I usual steady game,' forcing mc into errors, and when necessary unleashing the full force of his forehand and backhand strokes. "In trying to force my volleys 1 was continually missing the lines by inches, and only giving Tilden the necessary breaks on the service. "I hoped that Wood could keep Richards from the net and force him into errors. On the contrary, Kichards, passing him off the backhand, was very accurate. Wood found he could do better at the back of the court. Richards' service was the dominating factor. Wood made a game fight, especially in the third set, when he twice was within a point of making the score five all. "Richards won by his steadiness, coupled with Wood's errors."'
