CITY POOLS. OFFER | ESCAPE FROM HEAT
Boys and Girls Keep Cool in Municipal Parks

Safe from the dangers of traffic and cool in the ever changing waters fed to Willow Brook park swimming pool from the innumer- able springs in thatlocality, and to Walnut Hill park vadins pool by direct wates main from Shuttle Meadow reservoir. thousands of children are daily disportins them- selves and enjoying practically every advantage a vacation at the sea- shore could provide.
 From the old swimming hole of another lear to the well laid out and properly supervised pools which TOW feature the two parks is g far cry. yet it was the satisfa ction sex- perienced by Mayor Paonesa. when as an alderman. he watched boys and girls making use of the impro- vised swimming pool on Lawior street. that made possible the facili- ties which now cater to thousan nds.
 Mayor PaOnessa, together with former Alderman John O'Brien and several others conceived the idea of public swimming pool nearly . score of years ago. With much op- position placed before them, they gathered data on costs and uses elsewhere. and finally won their point. being successful in having an excavation made and water turned on in a lot near Lasalle street. Be- cause there was no funds with which to maintain the pool in sani- tary manner, it soon passed out of existence.
 The mayor never lost interest in the project. however. and after be- ing elected to the position of the city's chief executive he prevailed on his park commissioners to pro- cecd. The pools shown in the &C., companying photographs are the re- suit.
 The wading pond and the swim ming pool are visited several times daily by Park Superintendent Clyde l:llingwood, under whose supervl- sion they have been brought to their maximum use. Mir. Ellingwood has prepared schedule of hours for Willow Brook pool which per- mits of use by both boys and girls by boys on certain days and by girls on others.
 The facilities for use of the wading pool will be greatly tn- creased shortly when shelter houses at either side of the lake will be made available as bath houses.

the prospects of the American team are far from brilliant and he deep- ly deplores. more than the decision itself. the way in which 1t was sprung without warning on the rest of the team. He feels that the great CT injury to him and to the team lies in the fact that his disqualifica- tion came at the eleventh hour after his long months of painstaking ef- forts to develop a strong American squad to try to wrest the trophy from France.
 The French tennis public Is just as upset over Tilden's elimination, which Is universally deplored. How ever. 1t was pointed out that the American team for the challenge round. provided it survives the inter- zone finals. need not be selected un- til July :6. So that there still ts time to have the decision rescinded and Tilden restored to his place. This would be. welcomed by none more heartily than the French Tennis Federation officials who would much prefer to defend the cup against the best America can put on the courts.
 The sporting press abstains from outwardly criticizing the action but doesn't hide its extreme surprise at such a drastic measure.
 The Davis cup play without Til- den." says L'Auto. would be like Mona Lisa without the smile."
 All the newspapers print the ver- batim text of the decision. and the formal statements from Tilden and Wear.

FRENCH TEAM ASKS THAT 7|LDEN PLAY
nea VIII Not Be FaYord-Bie
 Bill Yely Popular Nov

New York. July 20 R-"Big Bill" Tilden's hopes of leading the Amer ican Davis cup forces In an assault to recover the famous tennis trophy from Frances hands appear finally and definitely to have been thrown into tEa discard.
 Unofflciaily at least, it was an- nouEced that not even at the request of the French Tennis federation would the American Lawn Tennis association lift the ban 1t placed on the lanky Philsdelphian yesterday on charges ot violating the amateur rulss by hls newspaper articles on the British championships at Vim bledon.
 American officials announced that the French request that Tilden be permitted to play in the inter-zone finals against Italy today. and. If suc- ccssfrl in that series. against France in the challenge round. would be re- ceived with every courtesy and con- alteration. But. 1t was added. there was virtually no chance that the or der dropping Tilden from the team would be rescinded.
 Amazed by the dramatic disbar- ment of Tilden. French authorities at Paris were at first inclined to keep out of the controversy in the belief that 1t was a matter that con- cerned America alone. Frenchmen dcplored the incident but preferred to take no sides in the matter.
 Plead for Tililen
 Later. however. 1t was decided to file . formal request with the U. S. l.. T. A.. asking that Tilden be per- mitted to play in the remaining cru- cial battles against Italy and possibly France. That move. however. ap- parently will not change the attitude of American authorities who believe Tiiden has fiagrantly violated the rules hs himself helped to draw up three years ago after his f,rst brush with oitieiaidom over the player wrttep ruis.
 1lcfewsSa Hts Ernac~t
 Meanwhile at San Francisco. Dr. Sumner Hardy. president of the Call ifornia Lawn Tennis association who was the instigator of the protest against Tilden's presence on the team. declared he felt that the move, though a drastic one. would eventu- ally mean much to tennis.
 It was Dr. Hardy who earlier in the year denounced the Davis cup tryouts at Augusta. Ga. held under Tildcn's direction. as tending to make buns out of tennis players" He referred specifically at that time to the invitations extended to college students. such as John Doeg. Wilmer Allison. md John Van Ryn. who. he thought, would be forced to neglect their studies if they accepted. Ali son and Doeg participated.
 Hardy said he felt that Tilden was trying to see how much he could get away with without being barred" and that the time had come "to take | definite Etand and bar Tilden from future play in Davis cup matches and tournaments in this country"

Featured in London

London. July 20 P-The dis qualification of William T. Tilden, captain of the American Davis Cup team. was the leading story in all tho London newspapers today. Ac- companying the news was strong editorial comment. in every instance adverse to the ruling of the United States Lawn Tennis association.
 The Post declares that the deci- sion was a great shock to Tilden's innumerable friends and admirers in Great Britain and says that although tho American star broke the law in letter he kept it in spirit. The action of the American controlling body. tho Post believes. was both prema- ture md far too drastic for the con- ditions, and hope is expressed that 1'ilden soon will be reinstated.
 The comment of the Daily News asserts the belief that the decision of the T.. s. l.. T. A. was based on some misunderstanding and that 1t is technically unjust. The News con- tends, however, that it may he good thing 10 have the broad issue of amateurism and misguided manner brought into prominence. as the present position of many players recognized as amateurs is an "arti- ficial. hypocritical cloaking of mo- torious facts"
 The Chronicle. remarking that the disqualification caused much excite mcnt and uncasincss in tennis ranks. makes similar point regarding the present unnatural and unsatisfac- tory" status of players.
 In one Of the most severe fndict- mcnts of the action of the American body. tie Express says: "The deci- sion carries cant and prctcnse farther than ever before .... the championship for Hamburg. which we thought was securely held by Great Britain. is following the other championships across the water
