Tilden Not Champ
 Of Rhode Island

New York, April 1S-Conceded to be champion of the world, yet a se- cond runner in one of it's t1n1est ere vices; undisputed champion of the United States, yet merely a beaten finalist for the title of it's most mea- gre Commonwealth.
 William T. TBIden, of Philadelphia, indubitalbly is the greatest tennis play CT of all time. They will tell you so at Wimbledon. England, where he has won the al1-comers singles title two years hand running without particular ado; they will shout it from the house tops of any American community with the lone exception of Rhode Island, where they have house tops, if nothing else.
 And there you have all the dirt in one dust pan: William T. Ti1den is tennis champion of America, England, Australia, Japan. the Isle of Tap and South Bend, Ind, but not of Rhode Island, although he eSSayed to annex that worthy title also.
 Mention of Rhode Island is best made in connection with the historic reply of Senator Tfllman to an inter ruption while speaking on the floor
 Gentlemen, quoth the good Sena- tor. the objection comes from the sovereign State of Rhode Island. I am constrained to make this an Rhode Island consists of two counties at high tide and four counties at low tide"
 So much for the one community this side of the hereafter where Til den is not recognized as the cham pion- It all dates back to last Sum mer when in a moment of weakness the lean Philadeiphian deigned to honor the Rhode Island State cham pionship tournament with his pres ence. He lived to regret it
 He met Vincent Richards in the final round and the so-caEed boy wonder took him like Bryan takes grape juice. It doesn't mean any thing, of course except that Tifden is not the guy that put the ode in Rhode Island.

Stiff Collar No Hindr0nce TO Jock Hutchinson

Chicago April 1S.-A tall stiff collar may have had more to do with the winning of the British open golf championship by Jock Hutchison than did the ribbed clubs the Chicago pro fessional used before they were barr ed by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
 The thousands of persons who have seen the wfrey Scot play on the var Ious links of America may recall that Jock always plays in a natty knicker- booker suit like any other golfer but that he invariably wears an ear-saW- ing white collar that makes him ap pear somewhat like high refined horse.
 Couldn't you play golf even better if you were not hindered by a high collar?" someone asked him during his trip through the Pacific and south ern states.

Dempsey-wehther or not he needed this advantage.
 Should the men meet again Demp- sey will have to guard against several handicapS. The first of these is in disposition to train, knowing that he has once deciSively licked his oppon- ent. Lack of perfect condition might spell Jacks defeat. The attack Car round last July would have ended the career of the same man poorly train ed.
 Dempsey will not know until he be- gins to train for another bout whether he still has his old wallop. There is danger that his hitting power has suffered as a result of his long layoff. Many of his critics said that he lacked a little of his old time man-killing punch when he met Georges the first time.
 And lastly. there is the fear that Dempsey will be too confident
 Should Dempsey treat Carpenter too lightly and relax his vigilance for a fraction of second damage might be done.
 While the bout would not be one for Dempsey to fear yet it would in- volve serious thought on his part.
