5000 Hours with Safety

It has been found that, by caring

1000 or 5000 hours with safety. But
1t takes many years to build up that

Before the average plane flying

RICHARDS
At NETS

NEW YORK, May Bill Til
den and Winnie Richards start
their five-match series for the
world professional tennis cham
pionship at Madison Square Gar
den tonight under the profes-
sional auspices of Jacques Curley.
The reams of fantastic publicity
distributed to the suffering press
by M. Curley in connection with
the affair have surrounded it
with ar atmosphere distinctly
suggestive of the prize ring.
The United States Lawn Tennis
Association, which sent out brief
stereotyped notices concerning
Tilden and Richards when they
performed as Davis cup stars in
the dim past, must be raising
it's lily-white hands in horror at
the bizarre methods employed by
M. Curley in ballyhooing the
match.
Overlooked No Angle
Although the intense rivalry
between these two meteors of the
court is enough to intrigue the
sporting public, Curley has over
looked no angle. He says a bit
ter feud exists between the princl-
pals: that they are not on speak
ing terms, and that Henri Cochet
and Mrs. Helen Wills Moody may
be induced to turn professional
and meet the winner.
M. CurIey further declares that
the amiable Winnie has become
ultra.temperamentaI, even out.
tildening Tilden. Winnie is said
to be up in arms over the report
that big Bill taught him how to
play tennis. declaring he was
tutored by Fred Alexander.
When Tilden took Karel
Kozeluh over the rapids in his
professional debut, the Czech Was
billed as professional champion OF
the world, which would lead to
the conclusion, that big Bill now
wears the crown. Promoter
Curley now explains that this was
mistake. however, and that
Richards holds the professional
title.
Near Sell-Out Seen
u. S. L. r. A. may stand aghaSt
at Curley's ballyhoo methods, but
they may result in a near sell-out
tonight. Tilden will get a per-
centage of the gate receipts
Richards will receive $4,000 for
the five matches. In addition
Curley has offered $4,000 in prize
money to the winners.
Richards beat Tilden three out
of four matches in 1926, just
before he turned pro. but will
have his hands full tonight. for
the tall Philadelphian is in great
form.
