SAYS After Victory Over Hunter Sure

Chicago, Jan. Civilian Tilden'
champion tennis player of the world,
Saturday night declared he was entire
" confident of regaining his old-time
form, despite the operation through
which he lost one-third Of the middle
finger of his stroke hand.
The worlds greatest living tennis
player was interviewed just after he
had smashed his way to another victory
over Francis Hunter. indoor champion,
here Saturday afternoon, Sc, $50 and
sc. Tilden showed the same dash and
form which marked his play before the
serious loss in the operation.
Tilden, declared there was a slight
hurt in the finger when returning a
hald-hit ball. However, Re believes this
was mostly psychological, due to the
knowledge that the tip of the finger
was missing, rather than any actual

first. The second baseman quickly
threw the ball to the first baseman and
Schaefer was caught between the bases.
A run-up ensued.
In the meantime Milan had been
waiting his chance. While Schaefcr
was being run down between first and
second, Milan tried to score, but was re-
tired at the plate on close decision.
That play started all kinds of argu-
Inent. Schaefer had run the bases in
reverse order, yet the rules failed to
specifically cover this act.
Now the rules have been changed TO
say that when player so runs, all that
is necessary to retire him is to hold
the ball on the base he vacated, or
touch him with the ball while not on
such base.

A sun of $500 is appropriated by
the borough for a similar purpose
and the mayor suggested that it be
used to pay expenses defraying from
any ceremonial plans on Decoration
Day. 1t was generously felt that
this borough should not lag behind
other places in the county and since
none of the war veteran organiz-
atoms have minated of any such
plans the mayor proposed that the
council take an interest in it.
Councilman Harmed said this
morning that in years past veterans
have made all the plans for parades
and celebrations and have usually
asked the support Of the borough
which naturally was complied with.
For the first time this year no action
was taken.
AT tonight's meeting definite ar
rangements are expected to be made
to hold a parade, to secure a band
and in the evening a block dance is
to be held.
