Anderson, in commenting on the controversy respecting Tilden’a pl»7 in _ the Davis Onp, says: “During the first three sets Tilden played chiefly from the base line. The Australians won the second and third set. Even when serving he invariably refrained from going forward to volley, which was a sufficient departure from the recognised practice to cans© comment: The Australian plavers were unaware of the interview with Tilden and the selectors till after the contest. The changed tactica" made the American pair infinitely more formidable —in fact, but for the alteration Australia! would have been victorious.
