THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C, APRIL 2, 19% SPORTS SEOTIO ' Tilden Out as U. S. Tennis Representative : Athletic Treat in Store for Capital RESIGNATION OF CHAMPION ACCEPTED BY COMMITTEE Individual Members Regret Action of Star in Quitting Davis Cup and Olympic Team Plans Made for Forest Hills Event. EW YORK, April 26.—The resignation of William T. Tilden, 2d. of Philadelphia, as a member of the United States Olympic and Davis cup tennis teams, has been officially accepted by the Davis cup com- mittee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. The action of the committee, growing out of developments in the as- ociation's controversy with Tilden over the player-writer resolution in which Tilden tendered his resignation as a member of the two American reams, was taken early today before one of the most representative zatherings of tennis officials in the history of the sport’s governing body. The contributing causes of the resignation and its consequent effect on_the outcome of the international matches from an American stand point were considered carefully by the committee before unanimously ac- cpting the withdrawal. The committee had previously invited Tilden o sit in the special conference called to consider his resignation, but the national champion declined the invitation. TO DEFEND TITLES ehairman of the Davis cup commit tee. said that Tilden’s eligibility tc play on either team never had been Questioned. He added t deteren e 1o Tilden. as well other pr p tennis playérs who are now writin newspaper arti for a remunvra ion, the enforcoment of the playe ADBLPRIALL S, writer resolution had been held ERILADULE TR pril wih until January liam T.

Tilden, whose controversy with the ates Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, resulting from his player-writ- ini activities has held the keen in- terest of the tennis world fov several weeks, indicated he was not sur- prised by the latest development, and addcd that, so far as his present plans arc concerned. it will not affect his |intention to defend his titles in the nation ngles and doubles cham- pionships late in the summer. Vincent Richards of Yonkers, N. Y 1so will be lost to the American Olymple team and probably to the Davis cup squad, he disclosed here today. The Davis cup committee has vet taken any public steps so far he is concerned, but the youthful rth ranking star, who has been a member of the last two Davis cup teams, declared he would go abroad as @ newspaper man as a result of | which, in writing about the Olympics, |be would be barred automatically from the American International | team He plans to leave May 15, with his wife and will participate in the English championships at Wimbledon befure going to Paris.
