 Tilden is the kind of man sports writer loves to interview. Like Rogers Hornsby, Jack Demp- sey, Sir Malcolm Campbell, and Fritz Crisler, the Princeton coach, the Old Master says something.

German Best Amateur

Is there as much zest in the pro- fessional end of the sport?
 More, as amateur tennis Is con- ducted now" answered Big Bill. At least we professionals do not have to contend with officials"
 Tilden considers Baron Gottfried von Cramm, the 24-year-old leader of the German Davis Cup array and French hard court champion, as the coming worlds best anna teur.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-05

Wood has a tennis brain and a beautiful all-around game" ex- plained Tilden. He classes the others, Francis x. Shields and the equally tall Lester Stofen and George M. Lott, as good but not top flight performers, and surely not good enough to return the trophy to this country.
 Shields, Stofen and Lott do not do the required work" eluci- dated Tilden. Shields fails in the
 mechanics of the game. His ground strokes are faulty. Lott never was an outstanding singles player. He Is a great dou- bles player. Why some play dou- bles so well and singles so poorly, I can't tell you. Answer me that and I'll tell you why some men can lead and others simply cannot. It's the nature of the critter, guess" Aussies Too Tough
 Tilden predicts that the United States contingent will be elimi- mated by Australia at Wimbledon on July 21, 2S, and 24. He can't imagine the men from down under JaCh SAdWlOk0t NLtil htS two-handed backhand Adrian Quist and Turnbull, falling before France, minus Cochet and Lacoste and with an aging Jean Borotra.
 Fred J. Perry, the steady Henry W. Austin, George P. Hughes and Lee will keep the cup in England another year at least, in the opin- ion of Tilden. This is the United States seventh attempt to lift the trophy.
 How long did Tilden believe it would take to regain it?
 Under the present system." he didn't know, but he suspected it would require a long, long time. Training methods were criticized in 1892 and 1898, but not this year. Had Tiiden anything to suggest that might expedite the return of Yankee supremacy?
 Yes, but he would have to sit down with me for at least two hours, go over the situation with pencil and paper, draw charts and whatnot, to make that clear. Why waste the time? But one gathered that he didn't think much of the U. s. Lawn Tennis Association or its Davis Cup committee.
 Amateur tennis is not nearly as fast in this country as 1t was sev- eral years ago." declared Tilden.
