Bill used himself reluctantly and only after talking the entire matter over with the players and Dr. S. E. and a power in the United States Lawn Tennis Assn. ‘We decided it was the most logical move for today,” Talbert id. “The decision was made with the welfare of the team as a whole in mind and no thought for indi- viduals.” But he still is worried about Seixas. ‘There is nothing we can do about tomorrow,” he said with a frown. He definitely won't play singles himself. Billy was asked if Seixas had volunteered withdrawing because of his poor play. “I make the decisions,” Talbrt answered. “This is a team: affair, and we talked it over as a team.
