FROCK COATS
AGAIN DECREED
Use of Dinner Jackets Also
is Under Rigid Limit
These Days
FORMAL DRESS
is DEMANDED

II you have an old Daniel Webster
stored away in camphor. it is time TO
trot it out. The masculine form
malign. as distinguished from the
feminine form divine. soon is to be
seen again in the frock coat.
Such is the verdict handed down
by an English tailor Mere man this
winter will look like the welcome
arch at an Elks convention. Colors
will be wild, but harmonious.
Really now, old fellow. no less a
distinguished person than his Ma
jesty has gone in for the frock and
our own Mr.. Winston Churchill in
variably wears IT, In Paris II is
quite the mode. The cutaway idea
is all bally rot. At our ultra-fash-
ionable weddings the frock is the
last word. For the past 10 years
it has been rather demode, but its
revival is clearly foreshadowed over
the ocean"
This tailor. who cuts everything
but the prices, also laid down the
law about the dinner jacket
(Tuxedo). No longer must il be
worn on every and any occasion. It
Is only for the most informal par
ties. No particular style Is adhered
to; that is. to suit the whim OF the
chap inside Of 1t. In smart New
York society II has been a sort of
fetch or phobia and was worn
when the wearing wasn't good. Here
after mere man must get into formal
evening clothes (spike tail) for
formal events. Only one new trick
is added TO the dinner coat make
up"-namely, the tie. To be ele-
CANT one must adorn the neck with
a MORE silk tie, elongated and mar
row.
Lounge suits are to be Of tweeds.

modish-ohi II must be modish-
color. They will be cut to achieve
that lean and hungry look" and
the back vent should be omitted to
give a smoother drape. II should be

College men In America. the Eng
lish tailor said. all look alike. "just
as at Eton." This fault. he thinks.
is because the American college man
abhors individuality and follows a
type.

BRIGHT TENNIS-WOMEN TOURNEY-TII IDENS COMMENT
TiLden Says Americans
Will Retain DapiS Cup
Worlds Tennis Champion Confident That United
States Team Will Triumph in Singles-Doubles
the Only Problem for Defenders.
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN "a.

Never before have we been hosts to
such a wide gathering of information
alists in tennis. Players from a dozen
lands, all ranked as the best that can
be thro wn into the game, have come
to America to play in the Davis cup
matches and to make an assault on
all OF our national titles as well. Ger
tainly no such gathering OF stars from
all over the world has ever before as
sembled In any country. AS these
lines appear the final tie Of the Davis
cup tournament to determine which
nations shall challenge the United
States for this trophy will be but a
few days off, and within a week the
first matches of the national doubles
championship will be under way at
Longwood.
The United States should retain the
Davis cup this year. The absence of
the best of the Australasians and Eng
indicate this. Likewise, think we will
win our own title in singles. Surely
there are a large number of cracks,
champions present and past and others
Just arriving, like Vincent Richards, to
overcome the large lists from other
lands who will strive for this cham
pionship.
Test In Doubles.
Our hardest test will likely come in
doubles. The American tennis play
ers do not devote the same time and
attention to this part Of the game that
they do to their own success in sin
giles. And doubles teams, teams which
fit together in every way, are hard to
assemble. Temperament plays no
small part in this. National character
istics cause US to make light Of doubles
play.
1t was pointed out year ago that
our weakness in this respect would
likely cost us the Davis cup. And had
We been less successful in our first
singles matches in Australia am sure
the team which eventually won this
challenge round would have felt so in
advance OF It's taking the court against
Brookes and Patterson.
Bill Johnston and !, who were Sc
lected for this task, were none too san
guine of results. In the few practice
matches we had played against Capt.
Hardy and ''Watty" Washburn we
had been made to look very sad. But
in the match with Brookes and Pat
terson we managed to play our way
to certain victory.
Not in a decade have American ten
mis- players given any marked atten-
ton to doubles play. The last pair to do
so-Frederick B. Alexander and Har-

ordering his daughter TO send the ball
to a designated square and depriving
her of dessert when she failed too often
to score. The woman. not the sports
woman, has always been the chief con-
Germ of Monsieur Lenglen about Suzanne.
OF course he has done his best to make
her champion. but he has never taken
sport as an lend" for her. II would
rather forbid Suzanne to play tennis,
he once told the writer. than see her
taken as a mere worlds curiosity"
When Mad emoiselle Lenglen first met
Miss Elizabeth Ryan 1t was quite a
ding-dong battle until the end of the
first set. The steady game OF the Cali
fornia champion was wall in which
no flaw could be seen The French girl
had the advantage, but her glance at
her father while changing sides was a
pathetic tale of her difficulties. Bring
her up to the net and play the ball
to her left" he hurriedly whispered. a
gesture of his arm completing the ad-
vice. He had noted a weak response OF
Miss Ryan to a certain delivery when
she was up on the court. The second
set was easy for Suzanne.
1t took Monsieur Lenglen several
months to prepare the Wimbledon cam
paign of 1920. AS his daughter had
never played on grass courts she was
bound TO make mistakes in the direction
and speed OF the ball. His first object
was therefore to study all the possible
breaks on such ground. Later on. for
FIVE weeks, he coached Suzanne on the
very place where she would have TO
fight. devoting also part of his time TO
watching closely Mrs. Lambert Cham
bers during her practice games. Thus.

ing. was brought about the defeat of the
all-England champion. who lost her tito
before her King and Queen.
Turned Down Doctors Advice.
But were II not for her stout heart
Suzanne Lcrglen would not have won
the battle of her life. Her physical
handicap was such on the fateful day
that her physician had ordered her to
stay at home and rest Pluck, grit, not
science, gave her victory. Stamina she
also has displayed this year. at ST.
Cloud, when she defeated Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory. lady champion OF
America. Suzanne could hardly walk"
Monsieur Lenglcn informed the writer
in a recent letter. ''On the balls OF her
feet she had two large blisters, one OF
which burst open when she began to
play, causing her almost unbearable
pain"
Such is Suzanne Lenglen, n compound

feminine Carpenter. She has come to
fight the rivals OF the two players she
takes as the best in the worid--Miss
Ryan and Mrs. Mallory. She has many
more reasons to believe In victory than
ever had Carpenter. the Beau Brummcl

old Is. Hackett-sacrificed their sin
gies games entirely in order to reach
topmost heights in doubles. Both were
skilled racquet men. but just lacking
the ability to come to the top in sin
giles. So they wisely decided to make
OF themselves the ideal doubles team.
For three seasons they practically
played no singles matches. They aimed
at team work in doubles, and durins
that stretch of time they won some
ninety-odd matches without defeat.
This was due to the fact that they were
mated in temperament as well as In
team play. When both were on their
games they were invincible.
But the real test OF doubles play is
for one or another of the partners to
stay on his game when the other is or
This either was able to do. Hence,
when one fell off the other OF this
noted pair kept the battle raging until
the other got his stroke under control.
The Difficult Task.
What better example for those rot
quite able to reach the top In singles
to follow. 1t would mean a great deai
to American tennis, especially in in
ternational competition. For again. az
last year, our most difficult task ahead
is to keep the national doubles title
in America Two years ago. it will be
remembered, this same Patterson and
Brookes, who will not be playing this
year, won this very title from us on
our own courts.
In the national singles I doubt If
final. But just who these two for
tunates will be Is a matter difficult
to arrive at. We are having long list
of big events, one following closely
upon the other, and in none of them
will the competitors obtain much sur
cease from hard work except by de-
feat. The well rounded field of entries
will see to that.
For this reason am inclined to the
belief that physical condition will play
a. winning hand in the Philadelphia
matches The wear and tear of this
event, following other hard tourna-
ments, compels this belief. There Is
danger of good men losing their drive
and enthusiasms from all this conpe-
tition.
l know what it is to have too much
of tennis. Once you reach that state
Of mind and body tho game Is no
longer sport. 1t is drudgery, work.
And you have not the spark which
formerly carried you through. That
lacking. all the experience in the
world viii be Of little assistance.
