Tennis circles, severely rocked last week, ceased to rock when William T. Tilden II, national champion, saw to it at Indianapolis that the National Clay Court crown did not accompany the Illinois State diadem out of the country on the swart brows of Manuel Alonso of Spain. The score: 2-6, 8-6, 6-1, 7-5.
The brothers Kinsey (Howard and Robert) of San Francisco took the National Men’s Clay Doubles from John Hennessey and Walter Westbrook in straight sets (6-4, 13-11, 6-3), after eliminating Tilden and Sandy Weiner, in the semifinals.
