Tilden Hits Picking Allison
Over Wood for Cup Singles;
Thinks Aduance Pact Existed

to some previous agreement with
Allison, made In the United States
before the team left for Europe. Ger
tainly, on his play here, Wood should
take precedence.
There can be no question that DON
aid Bulge, by his Wimbledon play and
his present form in practice, is a wise
choice for the singles, but, If that is
so, why is not Wood, who carried
Jack Crawford to five sets in the last
eight at Wimbledon, given preference
over Allison, who was beaten by WV
ian McGrath in the first round Of
the championship?
What has become of the policy, so
loudly announced, that man should
not play all three days? Here is
perfect chance to use Wood and
Bulge in the singles and Allison and
John Van Ryan in the doubles, yet
they call on Allison, the Oldest man
on the team, for three days play.
Allison is lacking in match play this
year. He needs more competition.
can only believe that Allison was
promised the singles position before
he sailed for Europe, and that, If it
is so, may well be the thing that will
bring victory to Germany.

was to get of to an extremely dolorous
start. Only Bluege and Heinie
Manush stand below Kuhel in runs

The s65,000 purchase of five years
ago was off to only a fair start, but
this was taken lightly. After all, he
had laid of for 10 months nursing
his bad ankle back to normalcy. But,
instead of improving, Joe has been
falling deeper into his slump and the
season now is past the halfway
mark.
In the last three weeks, a stretch
embracing II games, Kuhel has
trundled to the plate SO times and
made only 13 hits for an average OF
.l88. This is indeed cause for mild
alarm on the part of Washington's

II ONDON, July 20.-The crowds

chances Of stopping the German,
Baron Gottfried Won Cramm.

and burning service was expected to
cefeat Heiner Henkel, the young
German, in their match and the con-
census was that Won Cramm, consid-
cred second only to Fred Perry in the
worlds amateur tennis lists, would
defeat Allison in the first-day
matches.
There were some, however, who be-
lieved that Allison, an old campaigner,
would rise to the heights against the
titled Teuton and possibly defeat him.
Allison is in the pink of condition
and he has trained arduously for the
encounter.
The American team Is favored tc
defeat the Germans and 60 into the
