Loss Of His Crown
Keeps Tlden
Amateur

NEW YORK, Nov. g.. Big
Bill Tilden would have turned
professional and joined @. g.
Pyle's troupe of touring exhibi-
ton tennis players IL he or any
other American had won the ma
tional singles championship this
year and if Pyle's financial in
ducement had been strong
enough.
Tilden, however, laid special
emphasis upon the first quali-
fication of his statement. He
said he wished the public to
understand that under no con-
sideration would he have for
saken the amateur ranks after
Vincent Richards lost to Jean
Borotra and thereby dashed
Americas last hope to retain
the national title.
"Pyle's statement that l de-
cIined his proposition only be.
cause the guarantee he offered
was not big enough is abso-
luteIy false Tilden declared
with flash of indignant.
II told Pyle all the money in
the world would not induce me
to turn professional until ] had
made one more attempt to win
my seventh championship"

this attraction the same as our
national parks and other sections
Of the world are sold to tourists.
Something over so years ago a
market hunter named Charley Smith
conceived the idea of using cattle
as blinds in stalking wild geese and
ducks in California. A large bull
or steer was u. ually selected and
trained to approach the birds while
they were feeding on tn pastured
flats. behind which the hunter was
able to approach them and sset
within range. Large bore guns were
used so extensively that it attracted
attentit and was eventually pro-
hibited by law. The hunters then
took to using horses and wagons
and when the large bore guns wire
outlawed. contrived weapons just as
deadly by fastening several small
caliber guns together into one
weapon all Of which could be fired
at once. The horses were trained
to run with the wagons in which
the hunters approached. obtained
their shots and sometimes killed
hundreds1 at one volley. When the
automatic guns were invented extra
long magazines were attached III
creasing the l.unber of shots. Two
automatics bolted together with a
magazine capacity of nine shells
each became a formidable engine OF
destruction.
All this has been done away with
by law and education and thorough
patrol service.

TAX BO VS.

OF COLOR
By R. D THOMAS

One OF the meffleSL races fOA IhC
bowling season is on in the Inter
nal Revenue League. Four expert
pin maulers have hooked up in the
closest sort Of competition for the
Individual championship. Each has
an average of 10S and fraction.
And, oddly enough. none OF the
four IS a member of the leading
team-Personal Audit.
Tarter. of Clearing Division, has
a few pins advantage over Lewis.
of Consolidated Returns; Mansuy.
of Executives, and Leslie, Of Clear
ing Division. The four not only
are closely matched in average but
there is no great difference in their
high games and sets.
1t Is one of those contests that
al bOwlers delight in. And the
Personal Audit team that tops
the league with q short advantage
over Annex No. 1, has an ideal
combination. No one of its mem
bers stands out above the others.
Rhine, Hanrahan, R0uts0n, KaSsOn
and ChWas0w. the regulars, all
= are Of c.Ose TO equal skin.
The Internal Revenue League is
getting along in years. 1t has
come back season after season and
seen uaany other duckpin loops
faltef and then fail out. The chaps
who check up on our taxes have
come to be a force in the bowling
game.
Among the members OF their
league are several of the most color
full bowlers in Washington. Clar-
ence Charest, an athlete, who long
has overlooked the fact that he
has only one arm land that the
left, is the high man of the So
Icitors' team with an average VI
105.
And Charest is 3 player who
figures every season i'm the dis
position of WashingtOn's tennis
championship. lie has made MS
mara as an athlete more as
fealIis player than as 3 bowler,
but Clarence never has been mis-
taken for q set-up on the maple
ways.
The i'll wind that blows a little
good brought to Clarence Charest
a cool. caIculative noodle. It is
Characteristic of him that he never
falters in a pinch. be it tennis or
bowling.
That Lewis mentioned among the
four leading Internal Revenue
bowlers is Earl, himself. Here's a
duckpinner who has helped to make
many a. page of bowling history in
the Nation Capital. Earl first be.
came a star in the days when the
Palace dater Royal team was the
undisputed champion of Washing
ton.
Seldom really sensational. he was
there consistently with one mans
full share of pins when lots of
maple was needed for victory. He
won a reputation as great team
bowler. Whatever was necessary,
Earl nearly always put forth in
these gone but never to be for
gotten days of the Royals reign.
By way Of emphasizing Lewis
value as a team bowler, ii Is APP
propriate to note that he has had
3 part in more fe; - sets above
the 1900 mark than any other
Washington pin shooter. To those
who know the Earl OI old his
mark of only 1913 in the Intent
Revenue League is surprising. I'M
