LACOSTE NOT
TOCOMEH HERE
Interpreted AS Blow
At Group For Bar
ring Tilden

AUTEUIL, France. July 24.-tPl-
Rene Laeoste has decided he will not
defend his American tennis cham
pionship this year and will not pro-
ceed to the United States with the
remainder of the French team next
month, he announced today.
Lacoste insisted the decision was
not prompted by the Franco-Ameri-
ring Of Big Bill Tilden from the
Davis Cup challenge round. He said
he made up his mind several weeks
ago.
The general Interpretation Of La
coste's action at the stadium here
where he and Jean Borotra were play
ing a match in the inter-club cham
pionships, was that France was TAX
ing a shot back at the United States
Lawn Tennis association for the dis
qualification Of Tilden which the
French consider has practically
wrecked interest in the challenge
round for the Davis cup, held by
France for the first time in history.
NEW YORK. July 24.-CR-The
news that Rene Lacoste will not de-
fend his United States championship
was learned with surprise and disap-
pointment today at the offices Of tbs
United States Lawn Tennis associa-
ton.
Lacoste as the champion, was
counted upon to be the main drawing
card in the title tournament which is
scheduled to begin September 20 at
the West Side Tennis club at Forst
Hills. The final round duel for the
championship between La Coste and
Bill Tilden last September drew a
capacity crowd and a big gate.
