WANTS PLAY IN
 EUROPEAN ZONE
Bill 1ilden Eay0rS Staging Davis
 Cup Matches Across Water

Boston, Dec. 1 LF-William T. Tiiden 2nd of Philadelphia. fore most American lawn tennis player. wants the United States challenge for the Davis Cup played in the European zone.
 The Davis Cup committee has rec commended that, as in recent years, the play be in the American zone.
 Big Bill revealed his hope of per- suading the committee to reverse it's stand when he appeared here before the annual meeting of the New Eng land Lawn Tennis association to present his reasons and solicit sup port for them.
 Tilden told the association that American players ought to have suf- tcicnt time to become thoroughly acclimated for the challenge round. The former king of the tennis world. who only last fall bowed to Rene Lacoste the Frenchman, anticipates a tremendous struggle before Frances grip on the international trophy can be loosened.
 He maintained that the United States was obligated to have strong entry In Frances national events as q gesture of recognition of the courtesy shown by the French play CTS who have participated in all re- cent championships here,
 The Davis cup committee wants to challenge in the American zone be- cause it's members were convinced that more players would be available for consideration than if aspirants were obliged to compete overseas.
 Its recommendation will be sub mltted soon to the executive cont mittse of the United States Lawn Tennis association for approval.
 Tilden declared that in any case he and Frank Hunter, who share the national court championship and who played the doubles in the last challenge round. intend to go abroad for the French national champion ships and, if the United States chal- lenges in the American zone the chances are that their services will not be available for the Davis Cup team in it's preliminary matches.

The battle between Nandi Tassi, Italian light heavyweight champion, and Murray GitlitZ ot New Haven, scheduled to be fought at the Stanley Arena in this city tomorrow night has resolved itself into something more than boxing bout or d con test for the championship of New Haven. Following the talk in the Elm City over the impending clash, the bout takes on the aspect Of a definite trial between the repre- sentatlyes Of two races the Italian and Jewish.
 Official recognition of the fact that Italy regards Tassi as d real champion was given yesterday when the Italian mitt-slinger and former college professor, received a cable gram from Premier Bcnito Musso- lini of Italy wishing him luck in his match with Gitlit1.
 Gitit2, one of the outstanding Jewish fighters in this state, has the confidence ot all his packers that he will set the Italian back in their meeting. Tlssi has won three starts since his arrival in this coun- try but this hasn't pha2ed the camp of Gitlit1 at all. Gitlitz has wealth of experience in thn ring and he IS counting on this to give him an edge over his opponent Friday night.
