 Contrary 10 published reports that the international doubles champions would play in the interzone competi- ton or not at all. Tilden and Hunter announced here that they were ready to accede 10 the wishes of the ! Davis Cup committee even should they be forced to give mp their con- templated trip abroad early this summer.
 They have suggested to the United States Lawn Tennis association that two Davis Cup teams be appointed. one to compete in the American zone and the other to go overseas to get accustomed to European playing conditions before the interzone finals. This two team suggestion W mittee without endorsement at last weeks meeting in Chicago of the Tennis association.
 At that time Tilden and Hunter were quoted as declaring they would go abroad in May for foreign compe- tition and probably would not be available for duty in the American zone play scheduled for June.

VALENTINES FOR
 SPORTS LEADERS
Peekins Into the Mail of Some Of
 the Boxing Celebrities

New York. Feb. 14 (UP)-Peek- ing into the mail of some of the lead ing lights of the boxing business to- da., one discovers just what a senti- mental, kind hearted lot of big. overgrown boys they really are.
 Scarcely a single one failed to re- ceive his quota of perfectly jolly valentines. with sugared sentiments so appropriate to the profession and 10 St. Valentines day.
 There was one perfectly charming one from Tex Ricllard 10 Jack Dempsey. decorated with chubby pink cupids wrapped in greenbacks and reading:
 Roses are red, violets blue.
 "I wouldn't retire if I were you"
 Gene Tunney's 10 Dave Barry, who refereed the Chicago fight. was in the best of taste. showing the Shakespeare room at Yale univer- sity through a bower of lowered bromides, with this appropriate verse:
 II want you for my referee, T hope you're feeling top-no,ch. You are the incest man l know.
 Especially with q stop watch" There was one from Jack Kcarns to Dempsey, but the ex-champions ex-manager apparently had mistaken the spirit of the day. and had sent of the kind We schoolboys used to to lot Ii had to be censored. Dempsey's mail, in fact. was quite the heaviest of the lot. Tunney had not forgotten him. Gene adopted a more classic form of verse for his valentine to Jack. which read: Your eyes, dear heart, "They mean million bucks to me.
 If I can close them just once more,
 you see" To which Jack Replied:
 Will I be your valentine And Take another licking? "Why, Genie. for 200 grand
 "I'll let you knock me ktcking!' Then there was James Johnston's lament to Jack Sharkcy, his latest love:
 "Cupids darts, like fighters purses ! Always wisely arc not spent. T may not call yours all my own. ! "But at least I've ten per cent" And so the day was passed with the spirit of the kindly old saint shining everywhere among the big ger and better brand of box fighters.
