The debates Of the past may be re-
vived a little later on when 1t comes to
deciding Just what Is to be done about
sending team to Europe. but that,
all hands agree can be put eSide while
energies are concentrated on the play
in the American zone.
For the present the decision Is made
There will be only one American team,
and its full strength, which means the
presence Of Big Bill. will be tossed into
The zone competition against Mexico
China and probably Japan. Tilden has
Yielded to the call for his services. not
only to lend his individual strength as
the countryS No. man. but to begin
the task that America now faces in
Davis Cup play-building from the
ground up with an eye to the future
as we'll as to the present.
In the combination role OF captain
and coach Tildcn will call the roll next
Monday at Augusta. Ga, where the
first tennis training camp In American
tennis history will be established.
One OF base balls happy hunting
grounds has been chosen for this unique
event Augusta not only Is the present
headquarters OF base balls "Littl. Ma

but also the home Of Tyrus Raymond
Cobb.
Like Tilden Cobb is also attempting
to carry on IN the big show. although
both readily admit their futures are
behind them 1t is worth mentioning,
incidentally. that Tilden once enter
tanned base ball ambitions himself. He
cavorted around man. a Philadelphia
diamond before his name became inter-
nationally conspicuous in tennis.
