Boeckel, the brilliant third baseman, of the Boston Na- tionals, who was serlously injured earl esterday in an automobile ac cident north of this city, was bat- tling for his life this morning at the LaJolla hospital. Boeckel was consclous for some time last night and spoke a few words, and hope was held out for his recovery. Dr. Holmer C. Oat- man, who is attending the injured baseball player, said, however, that Boeck condition was very ser- fous. He added that if Boeckel con- tinued in his present condition for perhaps 36-hours after midnight last night, his chances of ultimate re- covery would be good. Two other occupants of the ma- chine, Bob Meusel, star outfielder of the New York Americans and Bob Albright, the theatrical man of Los Angeles, who was driving the car, escaped virtually unhurt. Should Boeckel recovery, it 1s feared, that the injuries which he suffered may end forever his base- ball career. His pelvic bone was fractured and his bladder punctured, when he was pinned under the ma- chine. A heavy truck 1s said to have swerved agaist the automobile in which Boeckel and his com- panions were riding, causing it to careen across the road into another automobile driven by R. H.

FARRELU (United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—({United Press).—Even if Bill Tilden finds at the end of the current year that he must set aside the racquet if he wants to coninue wielding the type- writer, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that his row with the heads of the game ended in a tie score. Tilden,stirred up two major skir- mishes this winter when he an- nounced that he would withdraw from competition if the United States Lawn Tennis Association did not abolish its policy of secrecy in appointing the Davis cup team and in declaring that he would continue his literary contributions to news. Papers even if the association ruled him out of the amateur class. Adoption by the association of a new Interpretation of the amateur rule, the application of which would make ineligible for amateur com- petition any player who makes big mony as a writer on tennis subpects. may cause Tilden to make a choice between the profession of a tennis player or a tennis writer. If Tilden has an idea that he ts bigger than the game, if he feels that he ts so big a factor in the suc. cess of American tennis and the fu ture of the game in this country that he could make his own -rules, his admission of the sovereignty of the association by retiring as a play er would certainly have to be scored as an actual defeat for him, even if he might consider it a victory of a moral nature. But, admitting that he stands to lose on this one point, he already has won the other point of conten tion, because the Davis Cup com mittee already has made known that in the future it will notify players thirty days in advance that they are to be appointed members -of the d fending or challenging teams. This is a rather important point As it is applied to future Davis Cup competitions. After being criticiz ed by a member of the committee for the way he was playing the doubles match sgainst the Australians last fall in the challenge round for the cup, Tilden not only criticized the committeeman who bawled him out. but he assailed the system of ap Pointment which made it impossible for the players to know who were to play in the doubles until just before the match. He argued that to get the right kind of a doubles game out of any two good singles players it was es- sential that the two players be given plenty of team to practice as a pair and to outline a method of offense and defense. "It was readily ud. mitted on all sides that two players who had not worked with each other all season, could not with forty- elght hours’ practice go out and de feat an opposing pair of experience and long practice. The association generousty con- ceded Tilden’s point and it not only made known that {t would accept his Suggestions in the future, but it went even further in drawing up elaborate plans for the development of the doubles game in this country. While America’s singles players rule the tennis world, it has been no secret for three years that there was much to be desired !n the American doubles game and that America was soing back instead of improving in team play. The association suggested that leading players, after the fashion of the Kinsey brothers, form perman- ent pairs and play all season to- gether. The Australians carry out this policy in the development of doubles players and no country can compare today with the Australians in team play. The best doubles players tn the country are to be asked to collahor. ate on the preparation of a book of instructions upon the strate, if doubles play, ee Propose the rule without consider- able thought and it certainly would not have rushed into a position with the realization that {t might be made to look foolish by it. The association, it ts understood, might ask Tilden why he engaged in the insurance business for two years, if he is professionally a news- paperman. Tilden might reply that it was none of their business and he would be within his rights. Tilden might argue also, and bring up a delicate point thereby, that it is no more profeasional for him to sell insurance on his name than it ig _to_sell_ newspaper copy under it. which 1s pungent and penetrating, and if the Giants acquire the turpen- tine habit thoroughly the Florida folks have no doubt the team will return north so peppery that their team will glow at night like the phosphorescent back of an electric eel. play in the third annual Texas open golf championship at Braskenridgy Park.
