MR. BALFOUR: MIXED DOUBLE LIFE.
(From our Special Correspondent.)
Nice, Monday.
"I must confess that I felt somewhat nervous," said Mr. Balfour after the match, as he sipped a split sal-volatile and cinnamon, "but not so nervous as I was in the singles. But it was the first time that I ever stood up to the twin-screw service which Baron von Stosch uses so cleverly, and once or twice I was beaten by the swerve." But his partner, the famous Basque amateur, Mme. Jauréguiberry, was loud in his praises. "He played like a statesman and a diplomatist," she said. The Grand Duke Michael was also greatly impressed and made a neat mot. "His fore-hand drives," he said, "were worthy of a driver of a four-in-hand." Mr. Balfour, it should be noted, wore brown tennis shoes with rubber soles, unlike Sir Oliver Lodge, who always golfs in white buckskin boots. His shirt was of some soft material and was marked with his name on a tape, "A. J. Balfour. 6. 1913."
