Norris Williams II will constitute th singles defense for th Davis Cup. players express the beief that William Is likely to offer greater chance of success than Vincent Richards. It Is currant gossip around the courts that with anything like a display of the form revealed at Nassau In the preliminary tournament at the Crescent Athletic club and at the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club William hi sure of a piact on tht cup defense. The argument In favor of Williams is based upon' hla ability to play either All Slagle or doubles exceedingly well. things considered, Tilden and Johnston may fairly bs counted upon as the outstanding men for th singles contest If either should lspee between Thursday.
