ing confidence may furnish 2 bigger surprise than he did in pushing Wyko1f to the limit in the American finals at Cambridge. but fears are expressed that he has worked too hard. Bracey apparently has failed in an attempt to regain his best sprint condition.
 The first joint tests for Hahn and Pelzter since the American defeat cd the German indoors at New York during the winter brings together a pair whose conditioning has been one of the most interesting chapters of Olympic history now in the mak- ing. Both have trained apart from the pack. applying special methods according to their own formulae, Hahn. under the ever-watchful eye of Jack Ryder. Boston A. 4. coach, and Peltzer on his own. But there the similarity ends. Hahn's work outs have been over varying routes but all evidencing his remarkabl speed and stamina. They've been open and above board these work outs of Hahn's while Peltzer's train- ing has been accompanied by the utmost secrecy. Ever since the leu ton injured his ankle in field sports two months ago. his condition and ability 10 regain his record break ing form of 1925 have been doubt full even in the German camp where he has been regarded as the big enigma.
 Hahn is avowedly out for double honors with five straight days of running in sight including several races at l500 meters but Peltzer's entry in the longer race depends upon his showing in the 500.
 Meanwhile the British are backing their champion. Lowe. to repeat while the French are equally as sure that Martin will run them all into the ground.
 It will be the biggest sort of an upset if all four Americans don't qualify in the 500 as we'll as in the 100 meter dash and the 400 meter hurdles. The Yankee timber-top- ping quartet outclasses the rest of the field with at least three mem- bers. F. Morgan Taylor.

BRITISH RAIL EMPL0YES
 ACCEPT CUT IN WAGES
Cut Will Amount To Fifteen Million Dollars Annually-Officials
 Affected Also.

London. July 2S R-Acce ptance of reduction of o1s per cent in their wages by British railroad em- ployes. including executives. was re- garded today as a step toward sav- ing the great roads of the country. The reduction amounts to nearly E3. 3.00h.o06 annually.
 In the face of fierce competitjon from motor vehicles the revenues of the railways have declined steadily. Winston Churchill. chancellor of the cXchequer. sought to minimize the effect of this competition by propos- ing a reduction of the tax burdens of the roads.
 Both the workers and the man. agers of the roads recognized the need of d compromise in order to help the roads out of a poor econ- omic position and have been meet ing for some time.
 One effect of the settlement will be that 100000 railway shopmen. who are now working only four days a week at the higher rate. will be em- ployed at least five days weekly and perhaps in the majority of cases for full time. The companies have promised to do this wherever there is sufficient work to keep the men busy.

MAY NOW
 DEFEND LAURELS
Defeat by 1lden May Influence
 Him to Come to America

Auteuil, France, July 2S Pr-Big Bill Tilden's surprising defeat of Rene Lacoste in the singles match of the 1928 Davis Cup challenge round may be the cause of the French stars reconsidering his de- cision not to defend his American singes championship this year.
 Lacoste, who has won the Ameri- can title for the last two years, an- nounced recently that he would not go to America this year, but after losing to Tilden yesterday for the first time in the last five times they have met, he indicated that he might change his mind.
 Tt may be another story next time.". Rene said after yesterdays s defeat This was intercepted to in- dicate that Lacoste may make the trip to America after all although he Is still unwilling to make a flat statement to that effect His defi- mite decision is expected soon.
 The French star had no excuses to offer for his defeat by Tilden. merely saying: T found a new Til- den facing me today" He felt that the one loss was no reason for his becoming discourag ged.
 Today while the giants of the court were taking a well earned rest. the United States team found itself in exactly the same position af ha of b, singles as it occupied at the same stage of the 1927 challenge round. when the Americans lost the cup after holding it safe for seven years. The differences between this year and last was that in 1927 Tilden had to play in the doubles with Frank Hunter on the second day, while this year he gets AS full hours of rest, with the young team of John Hennessey and George Lott doing the doubles honors. The American captain will not appear on the court again until about five o'clock Sun day afternoon when he encounters Henri Cochet in the final singles match.
 The young middle western pair were faced in the doubles by Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon. The French also decided 10 give their star singles players days rest
 The Frenchmen were favorites to defeat the American pair. but the game displayed by Lott and Hen nessey against the Italians Gaslini and De Morpurgo in the interzone final seemed to guarantee that they would give a good account of them selves.
 The early strength displayed b. the American team yesterday and mendous spur to the public interest in the remaining three matches Crowds gathered around the box offices early today. and it seemed likely that all records for attend ance at tennis matches in France would be broken on Sunday when Lacoste meets Hennessey and Co., chet plays Tilden.
 The enthusiasm displayed by the spectators yesterday during the Til- 1en-Lacoste match at times reached a point where the stadium resem- bled the scenes around bull ring in Spain or at worlds series in more than a tennis gallery. The officials had to exert their ut most efforts to maintain quiet and prevent interference with the play.
 In spite of it's enthusiasm tho crowd was very fair. As a matter of fact 1t cheered Tilden with even a greater volume of enthusiasm than it did Lacoste.
