leagues has heard from players
seeking to hold up the payroll for
a few thousand more. Those old
in the game do not remember
such variety of reasons for
quitting baseball as advanced this
year.
No sooner had Morgan an
nOunced that he could make
more than $4,000 in two years
in the box business than other
players suddenly picked up
profitable SidelineS.
The Chicago Cubs were expect

CZECH NET ACE
NOPUSH-OVER

"NO tennis player can beat
KOZeluh regularly" Big Bill
Tilden stated emphatically when
tennis experts expressed the
view that if TiIden plays his
best, in his pro tour matches
with KOzeluh, the Czech pro
would be the loser.
Big Bill" regards the colorful
pro net-master as one of the
most consistent players in the
world, only to be beaten when his
foe is in exceptional form.
Washingtonians will have an
opportunity to see these two
great eXponents of the net game
clash Thursday a week, when
they meet at Carlin's Park, Balti-
more, in the second leg of a
nine-stop pro tour of the country.
Francis Hunter, Tilden's
partner in many Davis Cup
battles, will meet Emmett Pare,
former G. U. net star, while
Tilden and Hunter face KOzeluh
and Pare in added attractions.
Accommodations for 5000 spec
tators have been made and tickets
are now on sale locally at Spald-
ing's and the Tennis Shop.
The largest crowd ever to wit
ness a tennis match, pro or anna
teur, indoor or out, is expected
when the Tilden tour opens at
Madison Square Garden Wednes-
day. The Garden seats 10000,
and almost all the seats have
already been bought.
The greatest number to attend
a tennis match was at Wimble-
