TILDEN RESENTS BOARD'S ACTIONS Boston. Aug. 25—(U.R) "RIH R'H” Tilden today vigorously defended his amateur status in a long statement in which he sharply critised the United Stales Lawn Tennis Association. Tilden issued the statement offer reading the official statement of the association, which enrly today decidied he was guilty of violating the player-writing rule. "I resent strongly the Implications of bad faith which the IT. 8. , L. T. A. imputes to me In their offlI < ini slnlement which has just been ; brought to my attention by the i newspapers.” Tilden's statement I rend. “They claim they refuse to necepi my statement that I did not intentionally violate or evade the letter or spirit of the rule. “This body is interpreting my motives against my word to the contrary of their interpretation. In other words, they are calling me a liar". New York. Aug. 25.- (INS)—William T. Tilden's reign as the greatest . lawn tejmis player of his t ine has I come to an end. Charged with violating the amateur code of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Tilden was tried by the executive committee of the association in a six hour session at the Hotel Vanderbilt last night and was found guilty on all counts by unanimous vote. • Sentence that he be declared ineligible to take part in amateur lawn tennis was immediately passed upon him. Yet within thirty minutes after the verdict was announced—and the hour was 2 A. M., this morning, Tilden had sent word from Boston that he would see reinstatement at the September meeting of the association. But the committee by its formal resolution and in a lengthy statement issued concurrently, indicated the door has been closed upon him once and forever, not in so many words, but by inference so clear as Io l>e unmistakeahle. There was evidence that the committee felt and knew that Tilden had flouted the rules of the association from the very date of their adoption. In addition to the formal charges on which he was tried relating strictly to the offense committed when he wrote concerning the Wimbledon tournament the committee had before it a whole scrapbook of articles hunning down to 1924 and continuing to July 18 of this year, die latter dated after the charges were being considered by the committee on the amateur rule.
