WIMBLEDON, England, July l.
If Mr.. William Tatum Tilden should

suddenly become an amateur again,
he could drag his aging cams onto
Wimbledons turf and win the
singles championship hands down
The geraniums are pretty, the tea
satisfying and the debutantes salts

For instance, it is quite likely
United States players will spread
eagle the tournament. Who are
these guys? Outside of Bobby
Riggs, who is pretty we'll known,
they have no great fame either at
home or abroad, although Elwood
Cooke is nice young fellow and
Gene Smith is genuinely swell.
Yet these three are very not stuff
The regulations of awesome con-
tinentals and the young sprigs Eng
lish tennis has nurtured carefully
since the Davis Cup hit the road in
1887 all have evaporated like crap
shooters before cop.
This general mediocrity has not
even produced matches which are
long on thrills If short on skill
There isn't a bit of the tennis
Wimbledon crowds have come to
expect.
Riggs, Cooke and Smith still are
very much in the ball game. Ferenc

may lick Gene, but nothing short OF
a holocaust or his own over-con-
f1dence can keep Riggs out OF the

washington Is going to have a
Harding Cup team in the national
public links championship starting
at Baltimore July a. And WASH
ington isn't going to do so badly in
the intercity play for the Harding
Cup, and in the succeeding tin can
title tournament, if you can get any
kind of opinion from the way the top
local municipal linksmen performed
yesterday in the sectional rounds
over the Mount Pleasant course,
where the championship proper will
be played.
Andrew Oiveri, the chubby
bcheeked gent from Rock Greek Park,
who holds the Washington munich
pal crown, tied for first place among
the three local qualifiers with Jim
Gipe, the taciturn Navy Department
employe, both with 36-hole totals
OF 149. Bob Morris, who won the
junior municipal title two years
back, won place with 152.
It's good Harding Cup team that
Santa Claus Leofder will send over
to Baltimore late this month. One
Of the best, in fact. With the
Harding Cup teams cut down to
three men Washington really has
chance this year. Ohveri, Gipe

he Is great puncher. Their
eyes showed 1t, and also their
noses and mouths and chins.
Unless Joe retires, some young
squirt is coming along and knock
him colder than a frosted pump
handle. But it will have to be
someone who can do most of
the damage with one punch.
Otherwise, before he can get in
another those tan whips Louis
calls arms will lash out and
take all the victory notions out
OF his opponents head.
Maybe he can't take a punch,
but why doesn't someone beat
him? After all, they pay off on
the winner, so maybe he should
be given a little credit after all.
Gelento can take a punch better,
but he isn't champion. The title
rests with the man who gives
until It hurts.

He will catch, with Representative
Leo Allen of Illinois on the pitchers
mound. Senator Jim Meade of New
York will play first, but the re-
mainder of the lineup is undecided.
Eddy Gilmore, known among in
