More Revenge

Four weeks ago Manuel Alonso, dashing Spanish tennis player, whipped William T. Tilden, II, national champion, for the Illinois state title. Three weeks ago Tilden got revenge in the national clay court finals at Indianapolis. He beat swart Alonso three sets out of four.

Last week Tilden got more revenge in the Southern California finals at Los Angeles. He beat swart Alonso in three straight sets.

The Los Angeles gallery, numbering 1,500, and described as " very unruly," was said to have interfered with Alonso's play. Alonso was nervous.

The night before the final, Alonso and Tilden were seen at a place of amusement escorting Pola Negri, Polish film celebrity. Nearby, ignoring them, sat Charles S. Chaplin, with the actress, Lenore Ulric.

Hollywood rumor said that Pola's second break with Charlie was attributable to Tilden and an inquisitive reporter was quick to interview all concerned.

Pola: "I can say nothing except that I admire Tilden very much. You must not ask me more."

Tilden : " Miss Negri is very charming, a great artist. . . . Of course there is nothing to it."
