scheduled to go into effect in 1925,
evidently were sim‘cre in their ef-
forts. He expressed the belief that
the parallel rule of the Olympic
committee would handicap America
in the Olympic games.
"Just now there are several play-
ers in the first twenty who are writ-
ing," he said. "namely, the Kinsey
brothers of California, Carl Fischer,
the intercollegiate champion; Vin-
ny Richards, and possibly Frank
Anderson. now that he has bought a
paper somewhere in the South.
“With these players barred from
writing as regards the Olympic

The impression that he would not
play in the Davis cup matches this
year was erroneous. Tilden said. He
admitted that he might possibly go

had a contract to write released him.
He said, however. that he did not
