FRENCH TEAM ASKS THAT TILDEN PLAY Plea Will Not Be Favored—Big Bill Yery Popular Now New York, July 20 P—*"Big Bill" Tilden's hopes of leading the Amer- ican Davis cup forces In an assault 0 recover the famous tennis trophy from France's hands appear finally and definitely to have been thrown into the discard. Unoftielally at least, it was an- nournced that not even at the request of the Irench Tennls federation would the American Iawn Tennis association lift the ban it placed on the lanky Philadelphian yesterday on charges of violating the amateur Tules by his newspaper articles on the British championships at Wim- bledon. American officials announced that the French request that Tilden be permitted to play in the inter-zone {inals agalnst Italy today, and, if suc- cessful in that series, against France in the challenge round, would be re- celved with every courtesy and con- sideration. But, it was added, there was virtually no chance that the or- der dropping Tilden from the team would be rescinded. Amazed by the dramatic disbar- ment of Tilden, French authorities at Paris were at first Inclined to keep out of the controversy in the belief that it was a matter that con- cerned America alone. Frenchmen deplored the incident but preferred to take no sides in the matter. Plead for Tilden Later, however, it was declded to file & formal request with the U. 8. L. T. A, asking that Tilden be per- mitted to play in the remaining cru- clal battles against Italy and possibly France. That move, however, ap- parentiy will not change the attitude of American authorities who belleve Tilden has flagrantly violated the rules he himself helped to draw up three years ago after his first brush with officlaldom over the player- writer rule. Defends His Protest Meanwhile at 8an Francisco, Dr, Kumner Hardy, president of the Cal- ifornia Lawn Tennis association, who was the instigator of the protest against Tilden's presence on the team, declared he felt that the move, though a drastic one, would eventu- ally mean much to tennis. It was Dr. Hardy who earlier in the ycar denounced the Davis cup tryouts at Augusta, Ga.,, held under ‘T1lden's direction, as tending to “make bums out of tennis players.” He refcrred specifically at that time to the invitations extended to college students, such as John Doeg, Wilmer Allison, and John Van Ryn, who, he thoughl, would be forced to neglect | thelr studles if they accepted, Alll- son and Doecg participated. Hardy said he felt that Tilden was “trying to sce how much-he could gct away with without being barred” and that the time had come “to take a definite stand and bar Tilden from future play in Davis cup matches and tournaments in this country.’ Featured in London London, July 20 (P—The dis- qualification of Willlam T. Tilden, captain of the American Davis Cup team, was the leading story in all the London newspapers today. Ac- companying the news was strong editorial comment, in every instance adverse to the ruling of the United States Lawn Tennis association. The Post declares that the deci- slon was a great shock to Tilden's innumerable friends and admirers in Great Britaln and says that although the Anicrican star broke the law in letter he kept it in spirit. The action of the Amcrican controlling body, the I'ost believes, was both prema- ture nnd far too drastic for the con- ditions, and hope is expressed that Tilden soon will be reinstated. The comment of the Daily News asserts the belief that the decision of the V', 8. L. T. A. was based on some misunderstanding and that ft s teclinically unjust. The News con- tends, however, that it may be a good thing to have the broa issue of amateurism and misguided manner brought into prominence, as the present position of many players recognized as amateurs s an “arti- ficlal, hypocritical cloaking of no- ts, tion caused much excite in tennis ranks, makes a point regarding the present tory” status of play In one of the most severe indict- ments ot the action of the American body, the kKxpress says: “The deci- sglon carries cant and pretense farther than ever hefore the champlonship for Hamburg, which we thought was securely held by at Britain, i following the other hampionships across the water.” Increnses Popularity Parts, July 20 (T»—The disquali- fication of Itig 11l Tilden has made him zmore popular figure in France than ever b admired passing ability as now has won his way fnto the hearts of the French nd the sportsmen of the A man, Freneh helicve that no praise to0 great for the dignified, ¥ he met the blow which am field of action in hattle for the first ars, and jeopardized clances in the interzone rting today, and challeng round ter making his Tilden's first ts were how he best could e the fortunes of the Ameri- s pronls 1 uncers monjons pe- decided at to + prooi of his for this duiy yester- soon in his two platonic the ialinn ace, and his toam- Never fn hi & Mg Il display such in teinis as he did in ov 4 M!cpurga and Hennes 14 wet juatches. / Chances Are Stim / Nevertheless Tilden realizes | that wing his vlm;-.’rllw 'the prospects of the American team are far from brilliant, and he deep- ly deplores, more than the decision itself, the way in which it was sprung without warning on the rest of the team. He feels that the great- |er injury to him and to the team !lies in the fact that his disqualifica- tion came at the eleventh hour after his long months of painstaking ef- forts to develop a strong American squad to try to wrest the trophy from France. The French tennis public is just as upset over Tilden's elimination, which is universally deplored. How- !ever, it was pointed out that the American team for the challenge round, provided it survives th¢ inter- | zone finals, need not be selected un- Itil July 26, so that there still is time to have the decision rescinded and Tilden restored to his place. This would be. welcomed by none more heartlly than the French’ Tennis | Federation officials who would much prefer to defend the cup aguinst the best America can put on the courts. ‘The sporting press abstains from outwardly criticizing the action but doesn’t hide its extreme surprise at such a drastic measure. | “The Davis cup play without Til- yden,” says L'Auto, “would be like Mona Lisa without the smile.” All the newspapers print the ver- batim text of the decision, and the formal statements from Tilden and Wear.

Parents Doubt The parents were inclined to place little credence in a report to police by Caroline Novotny, who described herself as & friend of Miss Drew, that the student had told her of a suicide pact with a novelist, but they asked a full investigation. It was established that Miss Drew had called on Maxwell Bodenheim, author of “Replenishing Jessica,” on Sunday night. 8he was not scen again until her body was found yes- terday. The girl's father, belleve his daughter had had a su cide pact with Bodenheim, but he felt that the novelist might have “‘something to explain” which would help clear up the mystery. Bodenheim, police found, checked out from the hotel where the girl visited him, on Tuesday and his publishers sald they had not been able to reach him since. .Both Miss Novotny and Miss Drew's parents said that Bodenfeim had been help- ing the girl with her writing and that she had seemed dejected over criticism he had made over her work, Miss Novotny sald she and Miss i Drew attended Cooper Union seven years ago to study commercial art. A week ago Tuesday, she said, Miss Drew telephoned her she had had “a stroke of fortune,” a prominent novelist was going to aid her with her writing.

Miss Drew's mother revealed that ' Sunday night she had "a strange- premonition” and before the daugh- ter left obtained the novelists's name and address, which police are mow withholding. Her davghter, the mother reveal- | ed, had begged off from a motor | ride with the family on the plea that she had to consult the novelist about a book on theosophy she had | written but had been unable to sell. ! The family sat up all night Sun-| day waiting for her, and Monday night the fatker, who is agent at the New York Central Cortland strect station, with his son went to the novelist's home. The father and son were unable to locate the novelist, but from the clevator operator learned that a zirl answering Miss Drew’s descrip- tion had called at 8 p. m., and left the apartment at 1:30 a. m. He re- membered her because she was not a “flapper.” When the novelist came home Tuesday at 2 a. m, the elevator man sald he told him of the two visitors. Asked About Warrant “Did they look militant?” the novelist agked, according to the ele- vator man. “Did they have a war- rant for me?" At 8:45 a. m.

The construction planngd is to be similar to that used in the Vance and Franklin schools, mention of wkich led Mr. e Witt to digress long enough to characterize the lat- ter school as the best and cheapest built in this city since the war, ‘Amazod at the lack of interest on the part of bidders, the committee Interviewed contractors and learned, Mr, Le Witt said, that newspaper in- terviews “and those who urged the interviews"” were responsible for the lack of interest. Though making no claim that the bids recelved ‘were too high, Mr. LeWitt further claimed that the interviews have cost the city of New Dritain $50,000. None of the contractors interviewed could suggest economies of size, Mr. Le| Witt reported. ! The costs of high school construc- tion in West Hartford, Hartford and Plainville were cited as a basis on which to arrive at the probable cost of a building-to house 1,000 puplis. To the actual cost of construction, he added the price of land, equip- ment, repairs to existing buildings and the Junior High school rellef. Disagree On North End Site Mr. Le Witt said that the com- mittee was willing to do’ anything, even building north of the railroad tracks, if action can be had. Mr. King corrected him, declar- ing that while this is the sentiment ot the accommodations committee, there is question in his mind as to whether the full school board would approve the higher expenditure. “I realize it costs more to bulld north of the tracks, but do you realize how much ‘'more it costs people in that scction to transport their children to the present school 2" the mayor asked. Members of the board were of the opinion that the school could not be located anywhere that would be con- venient to all. | A belief that location of the school in Belvidere oe nearby would de- preciate property values was ex- presséd by Mr. Le Witt, who used as his argument the claim that par- cnts would be unwilling to have their children segregated and lose the common mecting ground which one high school provides. Mr. King also dcclared against segregation, and he added the argument that a new school would require great overhead, since complete school organization with all' departments, a principal, etc., would be needed. 8upt. Holmes xed the probable eost of additional overhead at $40,000 to 850,000, Mayor Suggests Forum Assurance was given the commit- tee members that their work was ppreciated, but the mayor also sked that they consider the posi- tion in which he is placed, with no city meeting board as a check on expenses and with opposition to the building being heard on all sides. He asked of the committcemen whether there is objection to a pub- lic forum. Mr. King replied that the charter puts the responsibility for school | construction up to the school com- mittes, the board of finance and taxation, the common councll and the mayor, and he felt the city should not go beyond the regularly constituted agencies for a decision, Because of the complexity of the problem, Mr. King doubted decp enough study would be given to ha' a meeting of citizens render a whole- some opinion. He felt, he said, that men who have made a study of it were in a better position to take ac- tion than citizens who have no char- ter given responsibility. “But they're all taxpayers, many of them are the parents of children, and they should have a say on how the money is to be spent and how and where their children are to he educaged.” the mayor assured. “The city of Hartford votes at special elections on sehoel bond issues.” Judge Baxe sald he had first fav. ored a new bullding, but heeause of the money involved has been brought around to the bellef that the plan proposed was the best and the most economical solution. He did not favor the forum idea as the best means of reaching a solution that would be of gencral benefit and sat- isfaction. “This talk against the bullding is all propaganda. Some one is whis- pering and we have an idea who it is," Mr. Le Witt interjected, bring- ing from the mayor a retort: “You're a:l wrong; there's no whispering at all” \ Supt. Holmes' Opinion Bupt. Holmes said his first no- tlon was that the present high achool should be turned over to junior high school uses, Central junior high school sold, and a new senior high achool built at another site. He ad- vised that the center of high school population is about at the railroad station, with more coming from the south of the tracks than from the north, and with comparatively few from the northwestern section and Belvidere. The present high school reached the limit of ita capacity last February and it is now impoesible to put more puplla in, making it necessary to go on a half-day sesrion plan or taking over some other building. The latter course has been decided and the Rockwell school will be wtilised, requiting seve eral classes 4o go fo the Walnut Hilt achool nefd year. This plan will take onre of the mtaution only until February, he satd, “I's a favorite indoor sport criticize the school comwittec, continued, *“What we need is sym- pathy and help, not criticism. We have to take the children that other peoplo. furnish and educate th-m, Tt isn’t only in New Dritain that e have this, it is the same everywhere you go. But if we build a’ new | senfor high school it will cost from $75,000 to $100,000 right off the hop to finance it. We don't want this, and I don't beleve you do, Mr. Mayor,” Mr. Holmes declared. After some general discussion of the profect, Mr. King asked when it-would be possible to get the plan before the board of finance and taxation, to which the mayor re- plied that he would advise the school board before he calls a meet- ng. ; “But we've got to have a declsion right away,” Mr. Le Witt protested. “Don’t be in a hurry,” answered the mayor, “We're not in a hurry, but we've had this thing on the table for more than a year,” the committeeman came back, ¢ “Perhaps you have, but you haven't asked me anything about it before,” sald the mayor, bringing the discussion to a close.
