David Gordon ParOled to Resume
 His Studies

New York. May II R-David Gordon, 19-year-old University of Wisconsin student, who was serving an indeterninate reformatory sen- tence for writing an "obscene" poem, today was free to resume his studies. He is the holder of the Zona Gale scholarship at the Wisconsin school.
 The New York parole commission yesterday paroled Gordon for the duration of his sentence. which was for period up to three years. and provided that the monthly report could be made by mail so that he can resume his studies at Wisconsin. He had already served 35 days of his sentence in the reformatory at New Hampton, N. Y.
 TO take drastic action against Gordon" the commissions report said, would, in our opinion, only serve to add further to his already exaggerated self-esteem and make . martyr of an immature and in consequential youth who has bsen Eullly ol NlltllS iL N'ig Dttu anu ' ul- gar piece of poetry"
 The poem, for which Gordon was tried and convicted under the Com stock law governing the publica ton of obscene matter was published in tho Daily Worker. a New York daily, and was callc America The poem rallied at the United States and the Statue of Liberty ill what the court considered obscene language. Cor don's defense was that he had used the bad language in a metaphorical sense and did not mean to give of fense.
 It was brought out at the trial that Gordon's right namc was Cor onegsky and in sentencing him the judge said, Tt is too bad we cannot sentence you 10 Russia"
 Letters from many well known Americans and petitions from Uni versty of Wisconsin students were received by tho parole commission asking lcniency for the young stu dent.

new owner from among the 81
knights of the court starting battle
for it that will end next Saturday.
Rene La Coste. the French ace, who
who won the title in 1925 and 1927
could not reconcile business interests
with a defense of his championship
and so elected to let it go by default.
But La Coste's failure to defend leaves
the United States with little more
chance of recovering the title than 1t
would have had had the French autom-
atom decided to drop his business TO
see If he could make it three In row.
Debate As to Runner-Up.
Rene voluntarily let the title slip from
his fingers. but there's another French
man, Henri Cochet, ready to grab It.
At top form Cochet can beat anybody
in the world and in recent weeks he
has given evidence that he is at his
competitive best.
tournament discussion seems to
boil itself down to who will be runner
up to the little Frenchman.
In the field of "a are Americas best
Youngsters as we'll as the pick OF tennis
talent from England, Australia. and
France. Entries from Canada, Japan,
Cuba and Mexico help to give the 1923
championship a heavier foreign tinge
than it ever has had.
With the two Bills-Tilden and john
ston-out of the picture, Americas
hopes are settled on John Hennessey
and George Lott, although somewhere
out of the pack may come some new
Yankee tennis hero to take up the bur-
den where Tilden and Johnston left on.
Barring such an unexpected occurrence,
Lott and HenneSSey are the men or the
hour. If they cannot stop the French
invasion Uncle Sam.will be about ready
to give it up for another year.
Cochet makes his first appearance on
the stadium court at o'clock this att
ernoon. when he opposes Thomas Will
ber of New Haven in the first round.
Lott Plays Landry.
Lott will precede him on the same
court by two hours, when ne meets
Pierre Landry, another of the seven
French entries. At 4 o'clock Jean Boro-
ira, feared only less than Cochet, meets
Manuel Alfonso of Philadelphia, who
was ranked No. in the 1927 listings.
Hennessey clashes with DR.. George King
at 2 o'clock. The first stadium court
attraction, at o'clock, will bring to-
gether Frank Hunter of New Rochelle.
