MATHEy BEATS T|LDEN,
TAKING ALL THREE SETS

NEW YORK, January 27.-1n his
first appearance in the metropolitan
district since he lost the first joint
of the middle finger of his racquet
hand, William T. Tilden of Philadel-
phia, national tennis champion, today
lost a match to Dean Matkey of New
York, a player whom he had no
difficulty in defeating previously. The
score was 6-4 "a. Cd.
Experts who saw the match were
unable to say whether Tilden's poor
showing was due to Inability or lack
of desire to extend himself. He re-
mained mostly IN back court, trying
out drives and slices. His control
and service were good and he seemed
to manipulate his racquet with ease.
Mathey exhibited super-form COM

But advocates of the plan de-

fined to the ranks of newspaper men.
At least one of the magnates has
set the seal of his approval on the

Athletics and the dean of all mana
gers by reason of having been con-

delphia club since it entered the
American League twenty-three
years ago. In response to an in
quiry regarding his views OH the

said:
II am very much in favor of
having the players numbered.
No doubt many spectators have
considerable difficulty singing
out their favorite players, but
this would be eliminated by hav-
ing the men numbered. 1t would
seem at least worth while to give
the numbering system a trial."

"He adds that the players
seemed hostile, which is not sur
prising. They were hostile to
catcher's mitts, pads and masks;
they were hostile to the catcher's
shinguards, which were intro
duced by Roger Bresnahan; in an
earlier day they were hostile to
the first baseman's glove, and i'm a
still earlier day they were hostile
to any kind of gloves.
"At no stage of base ball history
have the players been as progressive
as even the magnates in welcoming
innovations that improved and made
more attractive the game out OF
which they earned a living, and
everybody knows Nthe magnates
have never been progressive enough
to get out of the way of a one
lung steam roller. She lack of pro-
gressiveness of the players and the
magnates in adopting innovations
has not been due so much to innate
conservatism as to sheer stupidity
d perverse refusal to increase their
own incomes by making their game
more pleasant to the patrons who
pay the freight.
Maybe the professional players
think they are On too high sociaI
plane to wear the numerals which
are cheerfully worn by college foot

like. That objection would be as
sensible as any other that could be
advanced in opposition to the hume

Russian rubles have a value even less than the personal nOse of an Alaskan editor, while the cur rency of Poland, Austria and other countries have tObogganed to hopeless depths, and the money of Italy and France is far below par. In view of this deplorable state of European cur Tency, it is the more interesting that the United States, which spent more money during the war than any other nation except Great Britain, not only is on a sound money basis, but that by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, it will have a balance on the right side of the ledged
