BILL TILOEIi TO
S
Sufficient Punishment Al
ready Has Been Exact
ed, General Belief
- BOSTON, Feb. 7. (APJ The
prediction that "Bib Bill" Tilden
would be reinstated as an amateur
in good standing was heard on all
sides here today as delegates as
sembled foV; tomorrow's meeting
Df the United SlStes Lawn Tennis
iBBociatlon. J
The" general feeling among the
ielegates ; was that .Tilden ; has
been punished sufficiently for his
infraction of the association's
player-writer rule at -JVimbledon
ast summer. It was said that
Tilden' reinstatement was decid-
d on several months ago by tbe
ennis powers, but that the an
nouncement was withheld pending
formal approval of the conven
tion.
Another matter on the conven
ion'B program was the sanction
n'g of the national ran' ing list.
fhese rankings, based on the 1928
jlay. were decided on several
months ago, it was said.
It was freely predicted that TU
ien would be ranked No. 1, Fran
?is T. Hunter, No. 2, George M.
Lott, No. 3, and Jobo . Hennessey,
Xo. 4. No delegate cast any doubt
on the prediction that Helen N.
Wills again would head the wom
en players. .
The reelection of Samuel fl.
Collom ,of Philadelphia as presi
dent of the U. S. L. T. A. 'was also
described as settled.
IN SPECIAL ROOMS
Eighty-three Salem children re
ceived school instruction and guld
ance- through the special room
conducted at the two Junior high
schools and Lincoln, Grant and
Richmond grade schools, accord
ing to the report for the.lirst.se

superintendent by E. A. Miller, di
rector of the department or . re
search and guidance.
Of the misfit pupils. 21 were
enrolled at Parrish; 19 at Leslie
14 at Lincoln; 16 at Grant; 13 at
Richmond. Five children dropped
out during .the semester. Two of
the Parrish pupils are now beini?
given full time work in regular
classes, three from Grant are ie
turning to regular classes, two at
Highland and one at Lincoln.
Three new teachers were assign
ed to special work at the beginnin
of the . year, which necessitate
considerable adjustment before en
tirely satisfactory work 'could be
accomplished, but on the whole
work of the department for the
first half of the year has been
productive, the report shows.
