Tennis Officials Desire
Strong Mems Team for
European Invasion.
BY Henry l.. Farrell.
United Press Stat COrrespondent

NEW YORK, March 23.-With
plans practically completed for the
European invasion by the Ameri-
can women's tennis team, officials
Of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association are now turning
their attention to the organization
Of the mems team.
Before any names are announced
the association wants to know if the
invitations can be accepted, and it
Is understood that several players
who have been approached have
not been able to give a definite an
swer.
In selecting Helen Wills, nation
al champion; Elizabeth Ryan, Mary
x. Browne and Mrs. Marion q.
Jessup, officials Of the association
felt that they had recruited the
strongest team available and they
want to have a mems team just
as formidable.
The Best Combination
Bill Tilden, Billy Johnston and
Winnie Richards would naturally
form the strongest combination
available, and Frank Hunter, be-
cause Of his ability as doubles
player and his international expe-
rience. would make a valuable
fourth member.
Richards and Hunter, it is under
stood, have tentatively accepted an
invitation to join the team, but Til
den and Johnston have indicated
that business may force them to
remain in this country this summer
British tennis officials are particu-
larly eager to have Tilden and John
ston in the Wimbledon tournament,
as it promises to be one Of the great
est ever staged.
International Match
French officials, who have ar
ranged a special international match,
also want Americas first and sec
ond ranking players as headline at
fractions, and they will be needed
| badly if the American team is to
make a good showing against Jean
Borotra and Rene La COste.
The team matches are to start
in Paris on May %, and it is proba-
BILE that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the
French queen, and Miss Helen Wills
will meet in one Of the matches.
The French girl, however; has in
| dictated that she is interested mainly
in the defense Of her tit e at VIM
bledon, and that she may not ap-
pear in any other matches before
she goes to England.

T7UST before we put the bas-

thoughts come to mind
about the final tournament. After
the turmoil and the shouting one
may look at things a bit more
sanely. One has time to think.
1t seems to be a very general
opinion that Central of Evans
vile played probably the best
game of the tourney against
Frankfort. The pocket club"
might have defeated any team
that Saturday morning.
Howard (kiO Wiggam, boxing
instructor at the l. A. c., was a
busy man during the last tour
neys. He acted as trainer for
Shortridge at the regional meet.
He then transferred his services
to the North Vernon team at the
finals. When that club was put
out Wiggam went to the Mar
tinsville camp.
Physical condition means much
in the tourney grind and coaches
must pay attention to taking care
Of the players. A trainer has be-
come almost necessity. Usually
the coach acts in this capacity. 1t
is a very important factor.

being broadcast from a high grade
station. With imperfect acoustic
synchronizing, certain \ notes will
pop OUT giving an Irregular effect,
interrupting the rhythm. and giving
false emphasis. These are notes
which are favored at the expense OF

A brief consideration Of all the
Objectionable results Of imperfect
acoustic synchronizing as outlined
in this articles makes it clear that the
attention of the radio audience can
not be held under such circumstances.
And nothing is more fatal to salts
factory reception than the wander
and of the attention of even a part
Of the audience. One auditor will
shift unnecessarily in his seat or
speak to his neighbor. This detracts
still more from the already unsatis-
factory reception and. in discourag-
ingly short period of time, the entire
audience has lost interest. is talking
about other matters, and the muslcai
evening is spoilt beyond recall:
Nevertheless, these limitations or
imperfect receiving equipment Gag be
removed, and when they are re.
moved the attention of the audience
can be riveted on the performance
itself if it has any intrinsic merit.
Acoustic synchronizing produces
clearly chiseled human sounding''
speech, with every vowel and conson-
ant readily distinguishable and with
all the little human touches, (such
as the breathing of the speaker)
proportionately audible to the listen

Of fully entertaining the audience,

ly difficult sopranos. Pianos hold

fortunate results of achieved acoustic
synchronizing will be set forth.
A multitude of unpleasant defects
in reception arise as soon as acoustic
synchronizing is absent Speech be-
comes blurred, and the intelligibility
of conversation is not perfect. Words
or phrases are lost, particularly
proper names. numbers. or other
| relatively disconnected portions of
speech. This point can be readily
tested by listening to a good station
broadcasting a complicated speech
where the context gives little as
sistance in guessing what the next
word in the speech will be. Even
if the intelligibility is perfect under
such conditions. there may still be
other faults present as result of
only partial acoustic synchronizinS..
One of these is an unnatural quality
in the voice of women. Their
speech may seem thin and not
rounded or natural. Another fire.
quent fault is that the voice of a
male speaker is rasping or rough.
Occasionally an opposite ault de
VelOpS giving a metallic mechanical
quality to the male voice.
A frequent fault is the relative Or
complete loss of the sibilant con-
sonants: IS" and "f". These may be
entirely missing, and yet many
listeners will imagine they hear
them (although there is always an
unconscious strain and resulting loss
of enjoyment involved in thus arti-
fically supplying missing portion
of a world. Even if the quality of
reproduction is somewhat better
than that which results in the COM
plete loss of the sibilant consonants.
these consonants may nevertheless
be confused with each other. Indeed
it is quite difficult to secure a sys-
tenn so perfectly synchronized
acousticaIly as to permit unmis-
taxable differentiation between IS"
and "f".
The singing voice Is also subject
to serious deficiencies when acoustic
synchronizing is imperfect. Sopran-
os will sound thin and shrill. where
as contraltos will have a dull and
undressing tone quality. The
rather widespread prejudice against
broadcasting selections sung by even
fairly competent soprano performers
must be in considerable measure
charged against imperfect acoustic
synchronizing since it is we'll known
