TENNIS WAR GIVES
TILDEN MORE FAME
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, May Watching
Bill Tilden in his recent appearances
in this vicinity as the chief drawing,
card in club exhibitions for funds of
various sorts. one received a clear
idea as to what publicity does for anc
athlete.
Men and women who had never be-.
fore attended a tennis match, who
knew little or nothing about the
game, turned oet to see this great
star. about whom so much turmoil
has been raised. There was, of course,
the general impression that Bill, for
some unjust, unwarranted reason was
under attack, and such feeling al
ways invests man with an added
attractiveness.
And Bill. who is not so good an
actor as he is a tennis player-albeit
a good actor at that-rose to the
situation commandingly. At Mont
clair and at Maplewood. for example.
he displayed all his stuff, and. in fact,
rose at times to amazing heights
while all the characteristics of man
ner that distinguish him in regular
tournaments were by no means miss
ing.
In the end, in auctioning off the
racket with which he had played.
Tilden had opportunity to display his
histrionic ability and availed himself
of it fully.
In brief. what is happening to TIL
den is perfectly clear. He is putting
he himself is rapidly getting to oc-
cupy place in the public mind such
as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb. Walter Ha-
gen and Dempsey occupy.

RUGBY GAME SCENES
DEPLORED BY FRENCH

PARIS, May 2o.-The scenes at the
Colombes Stadium on Sunday, accom-
panying the American defeat of the
French Rugby team, which have been
deplored by the entire French press,
were not created by the representa-
tive French sporting public, according
TO L'Auto today.
After saying the wound to French
pride in losing was not SO painful as
the utter lack of sportsmanship
shown by the crowd, the article
points out that the majority of the
spectators Sunday were not regular
attendants of the Rugby matches, but
rather the mob that goes to the fairs
to see the sideshows and applaud the
liontamers. Hitherto. adds the news
paper, the Rugby public has shown
itself truer lovers Of sport than the
boxing public, which, for example,
hooted Eugene Criqui the day he
broke his hand while fighting for
charity.

Fuller, who discovered Miss Wills
on a small neighborhood tennis court
when she was fourteen. and taught
her all she knows about the finesseo
of tennis, could not accompany her,
on the long trip to Paris, to parallel
there the activities of Suzanne's
father, who is her court mentor. So
he conceived the idea of lastminute
instructions, which his protege will
read Immediately before going to the
courts to face Suzanne. =
Just what sort of advice Fuller,
put into his letter he refuses to say.
He admits, however, that the sealed
envelope contains suggestions for
plan of campaign against the French
star. and also concerns comments
which he expects to have a cheering.
psychological effect on the young
Californian.
81 think Helen has a ffty-f
chance of beating the French cham
pion," Fuller told the writer. She
match for whole year. She has
had the advantage of advice from
Little Bill Johnston. the Kinsey
brothers, Peck Griffin and a host OF
other male tennis stars, all of whom
have seen Mile. Lenglen in action.
Mile. Lenglen's agility at court
covering, we believe, is the only de-
partment in which she might be su-.
perior to Helen. Ever since Helen
came back with the national cham
pionship we have been working to
overcome this one possible defect,
Her style of serving left her in poor,
position for a quick getaway in han
ding return shots. So we completely
changed her style of serving.
There are two departments in,
which l believe Helen will have the
better of the French champion. She
will both outthink and outgame her.
Helen has brainS-lotS of them. And
she's a mighty clever psychologist.
If she gets the jump on Mile. Lenglen
l wouldn't be surprised to see the
latter do the same thing she did,

If Suzanne should get the jump on
her there's no such word in Helen's
lexicon as quit"
