NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-While plans
went forward today to stage the ex-
hibition tennis matches for charity
at Madison Square Garden Sunday,
with William T.. TiTden ready to par
ticipate in spite of disapproval by
national tennis powers, efforts were
concentrated on restoring the mem
bers of Frances international team
to the program.
A request that the United States
Lawn Tennis association notify Jean
Borotra champion of the French
forces, there is no official objection
to the foreigners taking part in the
program was addressed to Jones w.
Mersereau, president of the U. S. L.
II A. by Miss Anne Morgan. Miss
Morgan is chairman of the executive
committee of the American branch of
the Good Will association, the bene-
ficiary and sponsor of the charity
program.
Mesereau announced meeting of
the sanction and schedule committee
of the tennis association would be
held tomorrow to consider her re-
quest
Borotra, Rene Lacoste and jacques
Brugnon, all were slated originally
Ito take part in the exhibitions, op-
posing Tilden, Vincent Richards and
Francis T. Hunter, but the leader
of the French forces yesterday an
nounced they would not compete in
the face of the refusal of the U. S.

At the same time Miss Morgan

MONTE CARLO, Feb. 25.--The King
of Sweden, tapping Miss Helen Wills
on the shoulder when, rather down
cast, the American champion walked
off the courts today after her defeat
in the doubles for the Beaumont cup
said: You played nobly."
Miss Wills scored two victories to-
day and suffered one defeat in the
Monte Carlo tennis tournament.
Returning to the courts for her
first match after a days rest, she
defeated Miss Lily Cadle of England
who once conquered Mrs. Molla Nal
lory, &c. 6-1, and thus reached the
semi-finals in the singles for the
Duke of Connaught's gold cup.
Miss Wills and Mile. Contoslavos
won in. the women's open doubles
from Mrs. Young and Miss Green OF
Englana, e-1, 60
Defeat came when, teamed with
Mrs. Aeschlimann against Mrs. Phyl-
lis Satterwaite and Miss Eileen Ben
nett, Of England, the pair passed out
of the Beaumont cup competition 3-6,
1-6. Helens most dangerous oppop-
ent, Senorita De Alvarez, has also
reached the semi-finals at the oppo-
site end of the draw, and it looks
more like a Spanish American finals.
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen will make
her first appearance on the Monte
Carlo courts Saturday morning when
she and her partner Didi Vlasto, will
meet Miss Radcliffe and Miss Platt
o. England for the Beaumont cup.
When informed over the telephone
that the largest attendance in the
history of Monte Carlo tennis had
marked the preesnce of Miss Wills
as competitor, despite Suzanne's
absence, Mile. Lengeln replied tartly;

This was interpreted as a strong
possibility that Suzanne will try con-
illusions with Miss Wills at Nice in
a return match.

WILLIAM 7. TILDEN SUFFERSA
STUNNING DEFEAT AT HANDS OF
RENE LACOSTE, YOUNG FRENCHMAN

American national champion in
straight sets, Ga, 86, 5-3.
America squared the account for
fthe day, however, in the opening
ewo contests of the Franco American
team series when Vincent Richards
nefeated Jean Borotra ga, 4-6, 6-4,
,6-2 Richards victory was more
spectacular than Lacoste's and assured
thrilling climax to the international
battle which will be resumed tomor-
row with Richards and Tilden fac
ing a new French combination, La
lcoste and Jacques Brugon in the
doubles.
Tilden's defeat was his second by
the French invaders in less than a
week. Last Friday Borotra con-
quered him in two straight sets in
the quarter finals of the national
indoor tournament. Not in the last
six years of Tilden's supremacy, how
ever, has he tasted straight set de-
feat in a match for the best three
out of five sets.
Today's encounter was the first
time Lacoste had opposed Tilden since
the Davis cup challenge round last
September. In that occasion L4cnSte
lost five set duel after being sew.
eral times within a point of victory.
This afternoon he more than squared
that account. Coming on top of MS
triumph in the national indoor tourn-
ament his defeat of Tilden lifts the
young Frenchman to the pinnacle of
the game.
Z 1t was Lacoste's deadly precision,
his steadiness under Tilden's hottest
fire and his cool confidence that
brought him his latest triumph COM
bined with his ability to apply the
decisive punch to his strokes when
it was needed. Tilden was alternate
ly erratic and brilliant. He call I'd
on the full battery of his spectacular
strokes in an effort to stem The
pace of his opponent bur
seldom was he able to pierce La
costes defense.

Getting back to the use of resin.
Even though the National league will
permit it, there will be many pitch
ers in that organization who will
not use it. Only the other day Grover
Cleveland Alexander of the Chicago
Cubs came out flat-footed against It,
Here is what Fred Clarke. former
manager of the Pittsburg Pirates,
the man who helped Bill McKechnie
make the club the world champs last
year, says:
'If I were pitcher and could con-
troll the ball with the gloss on it
would never use resin. The wood #
the bat can get hold of a ball with
a sticky surface better than slick
one"
The thought of the National leag Je
in going strong for the return of resin
was due to the belief that it would
greatly help the control of the pitch
ers.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-26

The new rule will make for fatter

be lack of uniformity in the av-

perturbable invader crushed the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-26

The international league also took
another stand that is contrary to the
decision made by the rules commit
tee. It relates to the sacrifice fly.
The eold rule was that the bats
man received credit for sacrifice hit
when with one or no one out, he hits
fly ball that is caught but re-
sults in a run being scored on the
catch.
The new arrangement of this rule
gives the batsman credit for sac
rifice hit in all cases where run
ner is advanced a base.
l much pAeferred the old rule.
When a batter delivers long fly
with runner on third that enables
said runner to score, he has delivered
in the pinch and is entitled to some
credit. The sacrifice hit, removing
the time at bat is deserved.
Crediting the batter with a sacri-
flee hit, thereby removing the time
at bat, any time runner advances
a base, OH the fly ball, makes the
premium rather cheap one.

RESIN BALL MAKES BID TO null
IIFY EFFONlTS TO STOP
TRICK HTRLTNG

The resin ball is certain to make
for an unsettled pitching condition.
The National league, responsible
asset, says the use of it is optional
not compulsory.
The American league has already
gone on record against the use of
resin or any other foreign substance.
Resin is sure to be used as the old
alibi for all forms of trick pitching.
The first big minor league to con-
slider the resin ball issue has taken
sides with the American. At a re-
cent meeting of the international
league magnates the use of the resin
ball was banned.
Bad policy" was the stand taken
by the international in declining to
accept the resin bag as permitted by
the rule makers.
1t is certainty that many leagues
will follow the lead of the interna-
tional while others will allow the
pitchers to use resin. This condition
is sure to react on many pitch ers
when they come up to the majors,
with one league permitting it's use
and the other forbidding it.
1t has taken practically five years
to eliminate trick pitching, "a menace
to the best interests of the game. It
seems n shame to offer lOOphOle
for its return.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-26

That remains to be proved. In
cidentalIy it may result in far worse
leViI than mere wildness ON the part
of the pitchers.
