-By Telegraph— Copyright).
NEW YORK, ■ Monday. Sidney Wood, a meniber of last ^ year's United States' Davis Cup team, ' has publiciy accused Mr. Samuel Hardy the Davis Cup captain, of berating instead of encouraging him at a critical point in one of the matches in the inter-zone final in Paris. Wood made the charge in a letter to the editor of "Tennis," which carried an article hy Mr. Hardy in its last issue, discussing the prospects for next year's team and suggestihg that Wood was not yet a player of international rank. Wood's letter in reply accused Mr. Hardy of making an unfair attaek on him and said: "Had you been in the locker room of Roland Garro's stadium during the rest period of my match against Austin (which Anstin won by two sets to one) and overheard my captain telling me, with a lack of control surely to he regretted in one supposed to lead and encourage his players, that I was no good, that I looked a fool on the court, and had no chance to 'win; had you heard all this you would understand why I can employ invective towards my former captain."
