T|LDEN TO DEFY
 ENGLISH ORDERS
Tennis Ace to Write and Be h.
 tervieWed as He PleaS@

Boston, Dec. If tPl-When Will liam T. Tilden, @d, inNades England in the near future. the American tennis ace is going to write and be interviewed as he pleases, despite the latest edict Of the British Lawn Tennis association.
 That was his reaction here to the news that the ass>ciation had adopted the following rule:
 It was resolved that no amateur could receive money or a monetary equivalent for writing identifa blc articles about tennis competition in which the player is to be engaged; permit himself 10 be interviewed, CT to broadcast talks"
 "T believe the latter part of this paragraph has not been wholly quoted" said the court champion and winter-time actor
 T believe the British rule is the same as the one in Nogu" lerc, namely. that an amate"~ e.,.. be interviewed or quctoH sE 6 'Hale- tary considers ''a.. ..'E-r2 +es aow foolish th u1g ntrr Ho u be.
 ''H.., esa r1y -,aa lr.e from be- | i.s .-tr.aryt' r :. newspaperman
 au,s 10 new me and l am rfItre .a Je interviewed what can
 .H s,erninG body do about it? If
 am willing 10 be interviewed l | n n I,f l Fl,t 1 harm Is there in the procedure ? Especially what harm is done if l am not being paid for the inter- view"
 Tilden made it clear that since he had continued to write Tn this country despite a similar rule. he s1w no reason to reverse his posi- ton abroad.
 "Why should l"" he asked "An amateur tennis player is profession- alizcd when he receives money for playing tennis. l am not doing that when I write articles about the tournaments in which I am playing, or allow myself to be interviewed and quoted. or if l broadcast n tournament over the radio" Inci- dcntally. Big Bill doesn't know why he isn't one Of those best qualifcn to write.
 "I admit that if am writing for q paper there may be, perhaps. q greater demand for my story be cause I am well known through my tennis ability But who is better qualified 10 write a better story? Who is better qualified to tell how I won or lost" Who is better quail fled 10 know the technical phase Of tcnnis""
 Tilden broke into tho news earlier in the week on another phase Of his Elropean trip when he an- nouncrd that he and Francis Hun ter, his doubles partner. Were going abroad next May and would not be available for play in the American lor" Of the Davis cup challenge. Whether they would play in inter ZOuo competition would depend en- tiroly upon United States Lawn Tennis associatione desires, hc said.

Temporarily checked In his cam

merits Of certain make Of automo.
bile, which he showed on Washington
streets festooned with lemons and
dragged by a mule at various times,
II. =. Heller of 4209 Seventh street,
through Attorneys H. NJ. Welch and
]. r. Daily filed suit in replevin in
Municipal Court yesterday to recover
the automobile. which Is alleged to
have been taken last Saturday by rep
resentatives of the company which
sold it.
The suit is an ordinary rep1evin suit.
Heller alleging he is the righttul
owner of the automobile and entitled
to it's possession, and that 1t was
wrongfully taken and detained from
him.
Behind it. however, is the story
of Heller's advertisement of the fact
of his dissatisfaction with the car
by displaying it with various sorts of
signs and insignia on the streets of
the city during the last two weeks.
Difficulties between Heller and the
automobile company started when
he had trouble with the machine,
his attorneys allege.
After attempts tn settle differ
ences, the breach between the dis
appointed buyer and the local auto
mobile firm widened to a seemingly
unhridgeab BILE point and Heller
started Campaign of enlighten-

Dissatisfied Owner Seeks to Recover
Car So He Can Continue Disparaeement

He first drove the car around the
streets with lemons adjoining 1t on all
sides. BY signs he called the atten-
ton OF the public to the alleged lack
of wisdom he displayed in purchasing
the car. Then he got horse and had
the horse dragging the machine
around for time. His climax in the
campaign was the hitching up Of a
mule who had long since passed his
prime. as the motive power for the
vehicle.
Then on Saturday afternoon, ac-
cording TO Heller's account, he got
out of his automobile, then unattended
by the mule, at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue and walked
around the rear to see IL the gasoline
supply was holding up alright. AS he
stood close to the machine after this
inspection, he noticed it moving away.
Later he learned, he alleged, it was
in possession of the dealer.
SO he explained matters to his law
yers, advising them of his desire to
repoasess the machine and continue
his campaign, the net result being
the filing of the replevin suit yesterday
afternoon.
Word came to Heller's attorneys, 1t
was stated, that the reason for the
taking of the car was alleged threats
of destruction supposed by the dealer
to have been made by Heller before
he had finished paying the balance of
the purchase price represented by
notes.
