Tennis Body And TIden angle Up Ouer Dauis Play

"
 NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Controversy surrounding the play of William T. Tilden in the famous doubles match of this years Davis cup challenge round in which America defeated Australian after five record breaking sets, came into prominence today when Harold H. Hackett, member of the Davis cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis associa- ton, replied to the national charges, that the committee overstepped it. self in giving him advice during the contest at Forest Hills.
 Tilden, in an article published re- gently in American Lawn Tennis, criticised the cup committee for re- questing him to alter his tactics after the Americans had lost two Of the first three sets to the Austral- fans, declaring that "suggestions on methods of play would come better at any other time than between the third and fourth sets and adding, "it is then too late to change.V
 Branding Tnden's statement as 'uncalled for and erroneous. Hack cit asserts that the national cham pion, after verbally refusing the ad- vice or instruction of the committee during the intermission went out on the court and proceeded to follow this advce or instruction to the letter and the result was he played tennis of the highest calibre and the match was won."
 According to Hackett. whose state ment will be contained tomorrow III American Lawn Tennis. criticism oi Tllden's performance was based on his failure to play position properly tn l. Hams. whose brilliance was outstand- ing in the first three sets. Hacket' held the national doubles title foI four years and was captain Of the Davis cup team which brought the trophy back from England in 1913.
 "I am one of the great majoritS who considers Tilden not only the greatest singles player of his tune but of all time; still. his doubles game is quite another matter, for he absolutely fails to understand the great fundamental of the double game, which is position play" as serts Hackett. "Unfortunately Til den considers himself not only the greatest singles player, but also th' greatest doubles player"
 Unfamiliar with the right side oi the court, and not the fault whicf the committee criticised, accounted  ness in the early part of the match according to the champions article which prompted Hackett's reply. ' was playing right court for the frs time in my life in an important match" wrote Tilden, and for two sets I was pretty heavy ancno for Williams to drag around. It wal only his efforts that kept us in tn. fray until I finally learned enougi about the right court to give hin some real assistance. Once that came we marched on to certain victory.
 In connection with his criticism Tilden said: "It seems to me that | America must pin her faith t' scratch or patched up doubles team the selections should be made tw' weeks instead of two days anead Q time. A little more time and a little less secrecy in Davis cup matche would be of material assistance tt the public and players alike

Tex Rickard To I ake Vincentiinii Under His Wing

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Tex Rick d'u' who took financial grips on Luis Angelo Firpo when Luis didn't know rlght hook from dozen eggs, and made hundreds of thousands of dol lars out of Luis Angelo's right swing. mas decided to bring along Luis Vim centini the Chilean lightweight. in the same way.
 .,I think Vincentini is a wonderful lighter and if he goes we'll I'll get him a match with Benny Leonard for tne championship of the world next spring, Rickard said Monday. T nave taken personal charge of him. as I did of Firpo. He fights Johnny Shugrue on December A."
 Ihls will be Vincentini's first fight with really skillful fighter. He mas fought and knocked out three unknown lightweights in quick time, which is the way that Firpo got started in New York.
 Shugrue, however, will be a sort@of lightweight Bill Brennan for Vim centini. It was Firpo's knockout of Brennan that put him across with the customers and got him the matches with Jess Willard and Jack pempsey. Brennan was a good old war horse, who had seen better days Shugrue at one time waggled po- tent fist, He won decision from Johnny Dundee and knocked out Willie Jackson so completely that that famous right-hand smasher never fought again. After that, Shugrqe, like his brother. Joe, be- fore him, subsided because of trou- ble with his vision.
 The eye trouble seems to run in the Shugrue family and both Joe and Johnny were stopped short of the lightweight championship by tricky vision. Joe knocked out Benny Leon ard, when Freddie Welsh was cham pion, and then went blind. Johnny's eyes are still some good. but during fight he frequently has to grip his opponent, hold tight, and blink at the ring lights like an owl at the sun, to ease the smarting of his eyes.
 Firpo advanced at the expense of wheezing old crusader, who was tettering toward the age of the arm chair and carpet slippers. Vincentini Is to be made prominent at the ex- pense of boy who needs to earn all the money he can as soon as he can to tide him through the long time when his eyes go dim.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The dead lock in the House over the speaker ship did not deter members. both old and new, from dumping hundreds of bills into the legislative hopper to- day. The measures must remain there, however. until the House is organized and their reference to committees is possible.
 A number of the bills embodied new ideas in legislation, but ma jcrity were revival of proposals which failed to receive attention in the last Congress. In the latter class were the anti-lynching bill of Rep resentative Dyer, republican, Mis- souri; the "blue sky" bill of Rep resentative Dennison, republican, Hi nois, and various proposals for sol diers' bonus, including that of Rep resentative Hill,s republican, Mary land, to finance the payment with a tax on light wines and beer.

 ''Instead of being taught to be so- cjsi butterflies, our girls should be taught how to be good mothers and wives" Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
