TILDEN NOT SURE OF PLAGE ON TEAW Has Not Yet Been Asked to Defend Gountry’s Tennis Honors Philadelphia, Dec. 21.—Because he rates the Davis cup above Olympic honors, Willam T. Tilden, 2nd, na- tional tennis chdmpion, said today that it was “extremely unlikely” that he would be a member of the United States Olympic team next summer. He certainly would not make an ex- tended tour to take in the Wimble- don championships in England, the champion added. ’ “As yet 1 have not been asked tal | | become a member of the Olympic team,” said Tilden, “and until 1 am I wiil not come to a definite decision. “I understand unofficially that Dick Williams, Vincent Richaids, Frank Hunter, Watson Washburn and my- self will be invited. Personally I do not want to make the trip and unless 80 many drop out that it will affect the team, I would prefeg to remain at home.” ‘ . Tilden added that if the Olympic committee would permit him to leave here late in June, instead of May, us | tentatively planned for the players, | and play only in the Olympics, he might make the trip. | “Bill Johnston's experience last year shows the danger of an extend- ed trip abroad previous to the Am- erican scason,” said Tilden. “I think he is very wise not to af- tempt it next year. America will have a hard fight to retain the Davis cup another year, with the improved competition expected in 1924, We will need to husband all our resources to do it. And I rate the Davis cup | above the Olympic honors.” | Tilden said his desire not to abroad has nothing to do with the| recent controversy with Harold H. | Hackett. “It is simply that 1 feel two months playing abroad might put me in the same condition it did the last time I went over in 1921, he sald, | “What I hope to do next summer | is to take things easy in this coun- try, play around in some of the smal- ler tournaments at the start and gradually work Into form.” ! ceived., CITY ITEMS, Prank H. bion, Michigan, Christmas dinner with Mrs. Charles Shield. “That Old Gang of Mine" just re- C.

DEMAND POR WOOL Prices Keep Very Firm and Tendency of Values is Still Upward Here and Abroad—No Neglect of Market, Boston, Dec. ~The Commercjal Bulletin will say tomorrow, “The demund for wool has con- tinued moderate, although the manu- facturers have by no means neglect- | vd the market, Prices keep very firm throughout the lst and the tendency | of values still is upward both here wund abroad. The farther one gets from wool, however, the less grows the strength of the situation, until| one reaches the goods markets and | there §e finds little of encouragement at the moment. What the results of heavyweight openings next month wil be js a matter of no little conjecture throughout the entire trade. The foreign markets are closing | the year extremely buoyant and in all the auctipns both at London and in | the primary markets, prices have | closed mt the top. In the Australlun sales, thera have been unusually | good cleargnees and hardly anything is carried over into the new year | from the sales already held. In our | own western markets there is com- paratively little wool left anywhers and what is still on hand is held at extremely high rates, “Mohalr is in a strong position with prices very firm. “The rail and water shipments of | wool from Roston from January 1, 1928 to December 20, 1923 iInclusive were 145,858,300 pounds against 124,- | 75 pounds for the same period t year. The reeeipts from Janu- ary 1, 1923 to December 20, 1923 in- clusive were 400,887,200 pounds against 409,664,411 pounds for the same period last year.'"
