Joseph w. Wear, chairman Of the United States Davis cup com- mittee, said that Tilden would meet the amateur requirements in every respect.
 Tilden was under contract to 'cover" the Davis cup matches for a news syndicate.

 The other players named for the American team are George Lott, Chicago, Winner Allison. Fort Worth. Texas. and John Van Ryn. East Orange, N. J. Tilden and Lott probably will be the singles selection, with Van Ryn and Allison paired in the doubles.
 "Tilden, in joining the team,' MT. Wear said, has vindicated my judgment of him. Needless to say, 1 am most pleased that he should have accepted our invitation to join the team. Big Bill always has been on the friendliest terms with Cap tain Fitz Eugene Dixon and me. His attitude toward us was revealed by the manner in which he helped the players prior to the inter-zone final.
 With Tilden in the lineup, l have strong hope that We will come through against the Frenchmen, al though l am not minimizing the strength of Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra.
 We will have a battle on our hands. but we have our best chance since we lost the Davis cup to the four musketeers at the Germantown cricket club in 1927"
