As for Tunney, there is nothing IN
his record to warrant the assumption
that he is good enough to take Jack s

Whether this plan or some other
is to be adopted makes little differ
ence. The important thing is that
the Washington officials have awak-
ened to the necessity for some sort
of Standardization requirements and
some method of rating officials ac-
cording to their ability. The intro
duCtion OF such a system not only
will be beneficial to the game, but
doubtless will increase the number
of qualified officials, as a general call
will probably be sent out 20 all
schools. clubs and other organiZa-
tions for those who are qualified to
register with the committee or board
or whatever body is appointed TO
pass upon their ability.

Therefore, all the French can
hope for today Il to prevent America
from sweeping the entire series
and this, hope is far from roseate
one. Judged by their respective
showings on Thursday, Bill Tilden
can hardly fail to beat Rene La
Coste' In one OF today's matches.
.TiIden seems to have regained
all Of his OldtiIne speed and
punch while La COste Is far from
the super-steady individual who
won the national indoor tide last
winter
It was thought today that
Frances real hope OF escaping
shutout rested upon Jean Borotra-
He played fine tennis on Thursday
but didn't have . chance against
the super.Tilden he faced. At the
same time. 1t was recognized that
Billy Johnston had the Indian sign
Johnston's forcefuI drives have
ira as he tries to come to the net.

OF the French losing all five
matches and becoming one of the
most thoroughly beaten challengers
in Davis Cup history. In the three
