OM|TS TO MENTION
HIS LOSS IS CAUSE
Old Master Brilliant as Ever
Beating Richards-CIeans
Up Coin.
BY ALAN GOULD.


DIG BILL TILDEN doesn't
* think the United States will
IL regain the priced Davis Cup
this year, and one OF the
principal reasons-modestly omit
ted from the conversation with
him-is that Big Bill will not be
among those present when the
forces again invade the stade
Roland Garros at Paris.
Tilden's mastery over the stoutish
Vincent Richards in their hrst profess
sional engagement ct Madison Square
Garden convinced all that Big Bill
remains the No. man Of American
tennis, amateur or pro. His artistry
and control OF stroke. his tactics and
condition were reminiscent OF the
Tilden of his paimiest days on the turf
of Germantown, Forest Hills and
Wimbledon.
Bill Content a. Pro.
Am sorry I left amateur ranks?"
Tilden repeated when the subject was
brought up. Not In the least. I have
had my fling. Perhaps I could have
helped bit in the Davis Cup campaign
this year. but why not let the younger
fellows 60 to It? They are the ones
who must bring the cup back from
France. don't think they can do
1t this year II Coehet Is himself, but
they will do 1t within q few years,
Sidney Wood, in my opinion, Is destined
to be the worlds greatest player In due
time. He has everything"
Tilden has done very well financially
in his Nationwide tour with Karel
Kczeluh and figures to slice on about
$4,000 for his series Of matches with
Richards.
Attitude Changes
Big Bill has . faculty Of putting on
a good tennis show. He may irritate
some by his Hannerisms, but he has
individuality, and he can bring OF any
shot in the games repertoire with the
skill OF master craftsman.
1t required excellent ballyhoo to build
up the Tilden-R Richards enRa9ements.
but 1t vas done, with surprising success.
Around the court was gathered ss
fashionable . gallery as any that ever
turned out at Forest Hills.
The chief difference is that the pro-
fessional fans exhibit less restraint. The
yells for Tilden to show that old cam
nonball" were accepted nonchalartly
by Big Bill. where In the old DAYS as
amateur king he would have stopped.

such offenders OF the proprieties until

FLYING STENO CLAIMS
NEW ALTITUDE RECORD
Akron Woman Says She
Flew Higher Than 10000
Feet, Old Marx.

AKRON, O., March 14.--Miss
frankie Renner, Akron's flying
stenographer, is ready to nose into
the clouds again today if official
examination does not bear out her
claims of new altitude record for
women.
After a four-hour fight Friday
Miss Renner claimed she had as
cended to more than 10000 feet, an
unofficial record for women estab-
lished last week by Miss Ruth Mich
OILS, New York society girl.
The altimeter on Miss Renner's
small Waco biplane was frozen at
the 28,000-foot level, but she said
she was sure her Paragraph would

brought her ship to a graceful stop

day.

Her electrically heated flying togs

Speakers Bedtime Story
Ruins Bill, Governor
Explains.

Strife over the personal income
tax bill, which was the cause of bit
ter contention during the last day
of the legislature, was continued to-
day, promised on Governor Harry
C. Leslie's pocket veto" of the
measure late Friday.
Although technically, the Gov
ernor's action in refusing to sign
the bill, is a pocket veto,' he took
it out of that classification and
threw it back into the boneyard
upon which political dogs will be
chewing for the next two years, by
issuing a statement f1aying the
"mutilation' by Walter Myers,
Democrat, speaker of the house of
representatives
Leslie declined to accept the BILL
declaring that it had not been
legally passed, because of the bed
time story written across the record
by Myers.
Regardless of my views in the
matter, it is not within my power to
make the bill la law the Governor
said.
Myers made a statement in reply
to the Governor, in which he con-
tends that if the personal income
tax bill was not TGssed legally,
neither we're the appropriation bill,
nor the reapportionment measure.
These we're signed on March 10, the
day after the legal adjournment,
Myers pointed out. and this was
one of the objections cited by Les
lie to the income tax bill.
Myers, in signing the income tax
bill, made the notation that it was
signed March 10, while the legis-
lature's legal date of adjournment
was March 8.
Myers reiterated much of his pre-
vious statement concerning alleged
'trickery" by the senate in pass
ing the income tax bill, as all ex-

tor Walter H. Chambers, Democratic
minority leader. was first to tearm

lie records. creating potential rift
