STAR RAPS
DAVIS CUP LEADER.
Wood Says Team Captain Be-
rated and Condemned Him
During Match in Paris

New York, Dec. 14.-R-Sidney B.
Wood, Jr., 19-year-old member OF the
last United States Davis Cup squad
and Wimbledon Champion, Monday
publicly accused Samuel Hardy, Davis
Cup captain, Of berating him instead
of encouraging him at a critical point
of one of his matches in the interzone
final at Paris.
Wood made his charge In q letter
to the Editor Of Tennis, which carried
an article by Hardy In Its last issue
discussing the prospects for next
Gears team and suggesting Wood was
not yet a player Of international rank.
Woods letter was an answer to that
article. He accused Hardy of making
an unfair attack on him, and said:
Had you been in the locker room
Of the Stade Roland Garors in Paris
during the rest period Of my match
against Austin (Austin two sets, I
one) and overheard my captain
(Hardy) telling me, with a lack Of
control surely to be regretted in one
supposed to lead and encourage his
players, that I was no good, that I
looked like q fool on the court and
that I had no chance to wtn-had you
heaAd all this, you would understand
why I a employ invective toward
by former captain"
Hardy in his article suggested that
Wood not be considered for another
Davis Cup squad until he had reached
the finals of a national championship
or some similar event. Wood points
out that he o the Wimbledon title.
Wood admits he was the head
goat" in this years Davis Cup play.
where England eliminated the United
States In the interzone, With Sidney
losing both his matches. But when
people start to prophesy his career as
an international player was already

must disagree.

Arrangements were made to transfer
the foreign minister speedily from

assigned to the encourage Of the dis

said: IT don't want any one TO think

Still later the ship was delayed by

The Italian financial sltuation is

Loan Believed Sought.
It was believed By many that Signor
Grandi would take advantage of his

been confirmed by the fact that Musso-

however. it appears Signor Grand does
not plan to take up this matter in New

to accept any scaling down of repara-
lions, but naturally she expects, like
France, q corresponding raaltctioa1 at
her own obligations toward the United
States. In this regard she Is much bet
ter OF than France. The principal
laid down by President Hoover Is that
debts and PREPARATIONS are not linked
and any debtor nation wishing a re-
duction must present before Congress
her case which will be judged in ac-
cordance to that courtrys capacity TO
meet her obligations Italy Is today
poor enough to be certain that her
