[Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.! NEW YORK, Aug. 20. In a matou which at first seemed to promise to be slow, and only of slight interest, but- later offered Cochet an opportunity to display his splendid staying power and his ability to be both accurate and brilliant at the net and overhead the Frenchman literally overwhelmed Tawara. Cochet lost the first two sets, because he was erratic and inaccurate, but lie so tired and outplayed bis opponent in the last three sets that there seemed no doubt of his superiority. JTARADA’S WIN. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The match between Harada and Lacoste was a long drawn out, unspectacular contest, wherein the Japanese, by his more vigorous stroking, caught the Frenchman, unprepared again and again. Lacoste played listlessly, hut such is the accuracy of his forehand ami backhand work that lie was able to starve olf defeat for a long time. Bojth played a haek-hnnd machine like game.
