High was wrapped in a San Francisco French paper "L'Echo de KNOW SHORTLY IF TILDEN TO PLAY NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Within 24 hours William T. Tilden, rated the greatest lawn tennis player that ever served an ace, will decide whether the season of 1925 will see him continue as a competitor, or proceed with the writing of masterpieces on and about the sport in question. This decision will be made toorrow following the annual meeting of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Ass'n, at which the new amateur code will be offered for consideration and the good word is that Tilden will proclaim his retirement simultaneously with the adoption of the measure. Its passage is regarded as a formality. Tilden is a member of the special committee that drafted the compromise code. Yet it is understood that he is so far from satisfied with its terms that he will withdraw his name from the lists of America's defenders of the Davis cup to say nothing of those eligible for the national championships and all important tournaments at which the products of his pen might be deemed essential to the happiness of the reading public. The new code says, in effect, that no player may "cover" under his signature any tournament in which he is a competitor. He may confine himself to expert views on this and that in an analytical vein but journalistic efforts upon the actual play will be taboo. This provision, according to the champion's friends, eliminates Tilden from important tournaments almost automatically. His articles would cease just about the time they might be expected to reach their greatest selling appeal.
