Tilden from attending the meeting tomorrow of the United Stat Lawn Tennis Association which is to consider the charge against him of violating the amatcur player-writer rule, Big Bill already has presented Lis defense. In a letter to Samucl H. Collom, president of the asso- cition, Tilden has presented his side of the case in which he denies any intention to violate either the letter or spirit of the rule.

These articles were write ten by me and were intended to the commient articles of an editorial na- ture concerning the playing form of the Americans in Wimbledon and were mainly to give an idea of how |our men were shaping up toward | the Davis cup matches. Only a few individual matches were mentioned and none described in detail as would be necessary in reporting or ‘covering’ a tournament and no matches were meuntioned until the third day after the completion of the match. To ‘cover a tournament’ means in newspaper circles to des- cribe the play round by round in detail from beginning to end of play. G & e my word that there was no attempt to eoade or come close to evading the rule. I have read the case against me closely and while I do not agree with the in- terpretation of the rule which s placed on it by the committee that any allusion to a tournament while it is in progress constitutes a viola- tion, I do agree that once granting that premise the articles violate the interpretation. Since that is so I can but reiterate that any violation is a technicality and debatable but certainly was one of ignorance and FIELDING H. YO! Detroit, Aug.

Larry Gaffney Is Winner In Big Motor Paced Race Revere, Mass, Aug. 28.—(UP)— Larry Gaffney of Brooklyn, N. Y., won the Boi D'Or race, one of the motor-paced classics of the season, at the Revere oval here last night. His time for the 50-mile grind was 1 hour, 10 minutes, 55 seconds. Gaffney finished a scant two yards ahead of George Chapman, six times national champion and last year's winner. not of deliberate intent. Concerning his proposed policy for the Davis cup team, Tilden says, “I am inclined to believe that it the policy of the Davis cup team was Clearly set down that no member could write while a member of the team abroad it would relieve any chance of a repetition of this inci- dent. It should be clearly stated it such a policy is put in effect that it 1s a team policy only in no way a matter of amateurism or profes- sionalism, If such a policy went into effect any player accepting & position on the team would know exactly what he could and could not do and his position would be clean cut.” Toronto Hurler Makes No-Hit, No-Run Record | Toronto, Aug. 28 (UP) — John Prudhomme, Toronto pitcher, pitech« ed a no-hit, no-run victory over Jer- sey City yesterday, in & game ended in the seventh inning by agreement, Two walks with two out in the seventh kept the pitcher from & per- Durand said he decided on the |fect game.

Youth Completes 55 Day Trip in Little Canoe New Orleans, La., Aug. 23 (UP)— Elliott Durand, 19 year old sopho- more from the University of Illinois was here today resting after a 55 day canoe trip from Chicago, His brown hair turned snowy white dur- ing the trip.
