HARD COURT IS
 FASTER TENNIS
Miss Browne Says It Gives
 French Better Chance
By MARY K. BROWNE [ nitcd Press ~tuf Correspondent

ropyught ls27 by United rressj
 Cleveland Ohic. Sept. 2S-Since tn" Davis cup went overseas 10
 France. the question of the rela- tive merit Of the grass court over the hard court has been widely discussed
 The hard court game is faster and onr which th" quick moving and acting Fr"nchman is particu- larly adapted. Tn" I'rcnchmen won our indoor championship before they ever won our outdoor grass court championship. l rcm"mbo. William Tillen saying two years ago that he did not believe anyone could defeat Rene I.acoste on an indoor hard wood surface.
 Consider then that the French men are better now than our play CTS on grass. so with the Davis cup matches played upon clay it will b" Just that much harder to regain-th. trophy. The Calitornians learn tn" game on hard courts so they will lind it easier 10 adjust themselves than 'hc eastern players who know only the grass court game
 Personally prefer the grass court surface, not only for aesthetic reasons, but because the game ;a mor". on" or placement than Of speed. l fear for the grass court game. however. as there are so few countries where climatic conditions will grow proper turf, cxc, pt at great expense.
 Tho principle reason that the F'r'pchm"n 'Xcel Uu the hard sur tnr" is that they take tho ball so soon after f rises from the court they can play better on the smooth. cN"n hard surface. than upon thu uneven ard untrue bounds off tho grass surtac". some claim that n player is entitled 10 an even bound On every stroke. but I believe inc greatest test of skill is the ability 10 harli" effectively any type Of bound The linon"ss or cut and spin is far nor" effective on grass than on the hard surface.
 Besides, the game is moro al. lrH"'iv" 10 watch and affords clean surface" and one that is easy on the eyes. Ii is pity that France t'aS 10 grass courts. Be that as i, may tho Frenchmon have adjusted their game to win upon the turf so 1t is Hp 10 ns to adjust ourselves 10 th" clay.
 In discussing tho future Davis cup play with tho captain Of tho French team, I said. There is 2 great advantage in being tho de f"nding nation, which stands out 10 meet only tho challenging nation, while any other nation must play through for the privilege Of chal- lengins. This advantage was thought so great that in 1912 our mems na- 'ional championship was changed so that the champion was obliged 'o enter tho draw and play through instead Of standing aside fresh to meet 2 tired challenger"
 Pierre Giilou agreed with me

that the defending nation. which now is France, has a great advan- tagc. but he said, Now that France .aftar five years Of hard work. has gained this advantageous position. she IS not apt to want to change. America could have made the change during the seven years she stood aside. while 25 nations bat tied for the privilege of playing her"
 or course. France has earned the right 10 stand aside and it is my belief that she will be in this con- mandIng position Tor some time 10 come. No change in the method of conducting the play can even be suggested until America becomes again the posssssor.

CREDIT BAN HURTS
BERL|N'S B0URSE
Restriction of Speculation
Expected to Be Reflected
in Political Disputes.
Bv the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May Banking and
parliamentary circles predicted today
that the action of the Berlin banks
in restricting credits for speculative
purposes was certain TO have a sharp
echo in political discussions the next
few days. Announcement or the de-
cision TO restrict such credits resulted
in a tremendous slump in prices on
the Bourse yesterday, many stocks
dropping from 10 to 40 points. There
was even rumor which was dis
cussed excitedly. that England in
tended to withdraw all money invested
in the Bourse.
Heated debate is expected to be
aroused over the fact that the Reichs-
bank took the initiative without pre-
viously coming to an understanding
with the Prussian ministry. which is
the direct supervisor of the Bourse.
Schacht Opposes Bourse.
The opposition to the Bourse Of
DR.. II ialnrar Schacht, president OF
the Reichsbank. is well known in
banking quarters. where it is declared
that he has long been aYerse to eX-
tending credits for speculative pur-
poses. believing they might be utilized
to more advantage by increasing the
productivity of the country from an
G., +nomic standpoint.
Some time ago he notified the Gov
ernment of his intention to initiate
measures with view to severely re-
astricting the ease with which specuia-
tors were able to borrow money in the
open market for Bourse gambling and
that he expected TO be supported IN
this by private banks.
Accused of Dictatorship.
That he is making himself dictator
of the banks and the Bourse" is the
criticism leveled against him in some
quarters, it being said that his edict
restricting bank credits 25 per cent,
with further restrictions to follow in
June and July, is nothing less than
an attempt TO throttle the countrys
Bourse for the benefit of the cur
rency."
The Berliner Tageblatt declares the
government is responsible for the pres
ent situation. saying it seems the cabi-
net Is ready to answer yes and amen
TO everything DIR. Schaeht proposes.
Other circles. notably Socialistic,
ascribe the crisis to the political
methods employed in guarding the
country's economic position. rather
rather than to economic conditions
themselves.

EXCHANGE RAIDED

New York Cotton Brokers Accused
of Victimizing Southern
Buyers in Futures.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 14.-Charged
with victimizing Southern buyers of
future cotton by operating a bucket
shop" the offices of the New York
Odd Lot Cotton Exchange were raided
yesterday by Deputy State Attorney
Keyes Winter and force of Il as
sistants.
The raiders seized books and records
under the Martin anti-stock fraud act.
and issued nine subpoenas on persons
found in the Office. During a prelim.
mary examination of the witnesses it
was testified that Carlisle Rountree
whose brokerage activities have been
subject to several inquiries, was the
"backer" of the. exchange.
Rountree was manager of the cot
ton brokerage firm of Scott, Norris

$50 900 after going short on a rising
market. He was indicted by the grand

bucket shop. but records fail to show
that he was ever tried. He was not
in the offices when the raiding party
arrived, but subpoena has been is
sued for him to appear for a hearing
of the case set for Monday morning.
The Martin act now gives the
States attorney general the right to
seize and use books and records of
concern charged with having operated
a bucket shop.
