By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 20--The United
States Lawn Tennis Association is TO
stand on its exclusion Of Big Bill Til
den from Davis Cup play. Despite the
request of the French Tennis Fedora
ton that he be reinstated
American officials announced that the
French request that Tilden be permit
ted to play in the interZone finals
against Italy today. and if successful
in that series. against France in the
challenge round. would be received with
every courtesy and consideration.
But, it was added. there was virtually
no chance that the order dropping TIL
den from the team would be rescinded.
He was dropped because he wrote about
matches at Wimbledon in which he took
part
At San Francisco. DR. Sumner Hardy.
president of the California Lawn Tennis
Association, who was the instigator
of the protest against Tilden'S pres
ence on the team. said he felt that
the move, though drastic one. would
eventually mean much to tennis. DR..
Hardy earlier in the year denounced
the Davis Cup tryouts at Augusta.
Ca held under Tilden's direction. as
tending to make buns out of tennis
players" He referred specifically at
that time to the invitations extended
to college students who, he thought.
would be forced to neglect their studies.
Hardy said he felt chat Tilden was
trying to see how much he could get
away with without being barred"

~ ARTS. July 20.--The disqualifica-
ti6.l of Big Bill Tilden from the
Davis Cup play made him a
more popular figure in France
today than ever Always ad-
nired because of his surprising ability
as a player, Tilden now has won MS
way into the hearts of the French people
The French believe that no praise
can be too great for the digniaed. UNI
selfish way he met the blow which re-
moved him from the field OF action In
the Davis Cup battle for the first time
in nine years. and jeopardized amer.
cas- chances in the interzone maj
against Italy starting today and even
more In the challenge round against
France. After making his formal pro-
test. Tilden's first thoughts were now
he could best promote the fortunes
of the American team. He decloeo
1t once to devote all his energy 70 tram
ing his younger comrades ior the al
ficult task ahead OF them,
TiJden gave emphatic proof OF ms
qualifications for this duty yesterday
afternoon in his two platonic matches
against the Italian ace Baron de Nor
purge. and his teammate, John Hennes-
sev. Never In his career did Big Bill
display such inspired tennis as ne did
IN overwhelming Morpurgo and Hennes-
sey In straight set matches.
Is Blow TO Team.
Nevertheless, Tilden realizes that the
prospects of the American team are
far from brilliant. and he deeply de-
plores, more than the decision itself,
the way in which 1t was sprung With
out warning on the rest OF the team.
ne feels that the greater injury to
him and to the team lies In the fact
that his disqualification came at the
eleventh hour-after his long months OF
painstaking efforts to develop strong
American squad TO try to wrest the
trophy from France.
The French tennis public Is just as
upset over Big Bits elimination
which is universally deplored.
