Like Golfer Robert Tyre Jones Jr., last week tennis’s William Tatem Tilden II formally announced his retirement from amateurity. Also like Golfer Jones, he has signed a film contract (with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). In his open letter to the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association, said he: “I shall never coach professionally, but I will always be glad to help any person in the tennis ranks whom I care to. . . . The future Davis Cup Team . . . should be built around [George] Lott.”
