TILDEN INVITED TO
TALK THINGS OVER
WITH TENNIS HEADS
President of Association
Gently Chides Cham
pion in Letter.

New York, April. 23.-William T..
Tilden, national tennis champion, who
resigned from the Davis Cup and
Olympic teams following the publ
cation of a report by the amateur
committee of the tennis association
which he alleged referred TO him as
IAN evil Influence" because of his
writing, has been invited TO meet with
the Davis Cup committee Friday to
talk things over"
In the letter of invitation, Julian
S. Myrick, chairman of the Davis
Cup committee, expressed surprise at
the possibility that an American ten
mis- champion would refuse to repre-
sent his country in international COM
petition when called upon. Mr.. Ny
rick's letter read, in part:
you have been invited to play for
your country as American champion,
and, as American champion, it never
crossed the minds of the committee
that you would refuse or even hest
tate to accept when called upon. You
are eligible to represent this coun-
try in the contests mentioned.
"1nasmuch as there is to be meet
ing of the Davis Cup committee next
Friday night to discuss several other
matters, | would suggest that, as you
were unable to be present at the last
meeting, it might be well if you could
come over and join us for dinner"

YUMA OUT OF RACE
Will Not Run in Olympic Marathon
Unless Team Shy OF Men.

New York, April 23.-Frank Zuna,
regarded as America5s best prospect
for the Olympic Marathon until he
failed to finish the Boston Marathon
last Saturday, will not start in the in
ternational run unless one of the six
men who qualified at Boston becomes
i'll or suffers a reversal of form, it
was learned yesterday.
Zuna's efforts in winning the Balti-
more and Detroit races earlier in the
year were thought by his friends to
have drained his energy before the

designated by the Olympic selection
committee as the final Olympic try-out,

INTEREST IN
FREE PRESS
PRIZE OFFER
Compete in Letter Contest by
Writing on why I Prefer
to Live in Idaho County"
Five Dollars Offered for the
Best Communication; Disin-
terested Judges to Decide

Letters are coming to the Free Press
office from residents of Idaho on the
subject, "Why 1 Prefer to Live in
Idaho County" The letters that
have been received are of much merit,
setting forth numerous reasons why
Idaho county is very desirable place
of residence.
While the contest closes at 8 p. m,
Saturday, February 8, letters may be
written and sent to the Free Press at
any time up to the hour of closing.
1t is not necessary to hold the letters
until near the final date. If they are
already written, they should be for
warded at once, in order to prevent
a rush during the last day.
S. for Best Letter
Five dollars in cash will be given
to the writer of the best letter, and
the writer of the next best letter will
receive $3.50. Other letters that do
not win prizes, but which are worthy,
will be given honorable mention.
The Free Press management will
have nothing to do with selecting the
prize letters. These letters will be
chosen by committee of three dis
interested judges, to be named later
Each letter, when received, will be
given a number, and a register of num-
bers and names of writer's will be
kept in the Free Press office. When
the letters are handed to the judges,
the names of the writer's will be oblit
Grated, so the judges will not know
the identity of the authors.
Matters to Be Considered
The judges, however, will be in
to give greater weight in
selecting the prize letters to the reas-
ons set forth, ''Why / Prefer to Live
in Idaho County," than to the literary
value of the letters. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that the let
tiers should be neat, and care used
in their preparation, as these features
also will count.
1t is suggested that school children
take up the writing of these letters
for the work will be valuable prac
tice for them, and they are as likely
to win the prizes as others.
