<p> DIED. James Van Alen, 88, who changed tennis by inventing the
tie breaker; after a fall from a terrace at his home; in
Newport, R.I. In 1954 Van Alen founded the International Tennis
Hall of Fame in Newport. Four years later, he devised the tie
breaker as part of a comprehensive new scoring system to speed
up the game. He based his rules, which feature a limited number
of points in each game and set, on those for table tennis.
