BILL T|LDEN SEES
AMATEURS ON TOP
His Travels Convince Him That
Unprofessionals Have
Strong Hold.

Bill Tilden. the king-pin of the
tennis world, says that in his travels
around the world he observed that
amateur sport had become the
strongest attraction in the whole
realm OF competitive athletics.
There was a time, not so long ago.
when amateur sport did not hold the
attractions for the public and pro-
fsssional sport had the public pretty
much to itself.
All that ~has changed in the past
few years. and amateur competition
has at last reached the place in
public favor II deserves.
OF course, in the case of Tilden.

SEEMINGLY TWAS EVER THUS
Example Of Eternal Triangle Will
Soon Be Presented to Another
Judge and Jury.

Not so very long ago there lived to-
gether In Indianapolis a certain man
and woman. They were well past
middle age, and their children were
reared and gone. One evening the
man of the family nervously marked
the passing of time. Sad suspicion
gripped the heart Of the woman. The
husband explained that he would have
to be away from home that evening
on business. The wife explained that
she did not wish to stay at home alone.
ana would go to neighbours home.
She left the house first. But she did
not go tc the neighbours home. Instead
she slipped into the rear seat of the
curtained darkness Of her husbands
automobile, and covered herself with
a robe. After while he came out
Of the house and drove away. He
drove to another house In the city and
drew up in front He left the car and
entered the house. The wife also left
the car and took a position in the
shadows nearby. After few minutes
walt the man came out of the house
Nith another woman on his arm. The
eternal triangle was completed, and
the same old thing happened. Now
they are getting ready to tell It to the
judge.
