FAMED NETMEN
SEEN AS PROS

While big Bill" Tilden persists
IN refusing to give out the name
of the veteran amateur player
who will join his troupe in the
.Wardman Park Hotel professional
tennis round robin, starting to-
morrow, indications are that the
player in question may be R.
Norris Williams. who up to 1925
was one of Tilden'S strongest
rivals.
There is the possibility that
Tilden may have influenced Will
liam M. Johnson, the Little Bill'
of 10 years ago, to join him.
Johnston was forced to retire
from the game at the height Of
his career due to illness. Reports
that he was back in physical trim
have appeared during the past
three years.
Both Williams and Johnston
would be welcome additions to the
pro ranks, lending considerable
prestige to that section of the
net game.
Tilden is to face Emmett Pare
in the opening round tomorrow.
It. is almost certain that he will
clash with Hans NusSlein, Euro
pean pro champion, in one match
of the series. Play begins at 2:30

WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
GIANTS To MEET
At STRAND
TONIGHT

Promoter Joe Turner has re-
Enforced the ring at the Strand
Theater so there will be no
armiStice for the ten giants who
scuffle there tonight in wrestling
warfare. Stout-hearted monarchS
of the bone-cruShing industry are
to test their strength against one
another and several riotouS scenes
are in prospect.
The top number match will
bring together Tiny Roebuck,
who carries close to $50 pounds
of solid flesh, and Sammy Stein,
a mite of a Jewish boy with The
heart of a Sampson. Much OF
the action will resemble two foot
ball linemen opposing for Roe
buck and Stein are graduates of
the chalk-marked football battle
fronts.
Terror With Tackle
Roebuck will have a command
ing edge in physical requirements
but that little Stein chap is a
terror with that flying tackle
with which he mows 'em down.
The thrill producer will most
likely develop between Howard
Cantonwine and AL Peretti.
Cantonwine claims a record OF
so straight victories but local
fans will root for him simply
because they have an intense
hatred for Gentleman Jack"
GrObmier Faces Newcomer
Sander Szabo, who always
pleaSes even in defeat, has been
matched with that crusher,
George Zaharias. This match
should tingle the nerves of the
onlookerS.
Fred Grobmier, whose pop
ularity always nets him place
on Promoter Turner'S programs,
has been assigned a preliminary
match as he is meeting a new
conner, Lii Nardo. George NC
Leod and Cy Williams collide IN

will be called at $3.50 p. m.

Trading By Senate,
Saw Brokers

Investigation of stock trad

Currency Committee here, &C
cording to a Philadelphia dis
patch in the Wall Street Jour
nal, has resulted in some short
selling by a part of the public
which hitherto only took the
bull side of the market, in the
opinion of some Philadelphia
brokers.
One broker said the publicity
given to the stock trading in
vestigation and the eXamina-
ton of Richard Whitney, presi-
dent of the New York Stock
Exchange, has advertised short
selling as never before, and has
initiated the public which never
before understood short selling,
into the methods of operation.

MINES
CLOSE DOWN

Decision to close De Beers, the
Premier Diamond and the Con-
solidated diamond mines in South
Africa for two years is an at
tempt to reverse the downward
price trend of these stones in
recent years.
According to reports from the
French Bourse, these mines were
closed due to an accumulation of
diamonds totaling approximately
E18,000,000 - or approximately
SIS, 100000.
At the beginning of the World
War. the value of the carat was
pa francs. Since then, the value
increased to 1900 francs in 1920.
Today the price per carat is close
to 100 francs.

NEW YORK, April 81 Q.N.SO
The market continued its drab
downward path yesterday, but af-
forded one bright spot. That was
strength in the rails.
A further rise in this group
would help sentiment since the
carrier shares have given the tip
off to past movements in the mar
ket. Liquidation still continues in
the leaders, however, and stocks
won't get very far until this is
lifted.
Europe Buying Rails
There has been a smattering of
buying in the rails from Europe in
the last few days, largely Atchison,
New York Central, and New
Haven.
New Haven so far has been the
favorite, probably due to price APP
peal.

WOOL PROSPECT
IS SEEN FAIR

Prospects are for a world clip
of wool in 1882 about as large
as that of 1881, says the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Unusually severe winter wealth
err in the Southern Hemisphere
would of course affect the out
look. Supplies on hand there
from the large 1881 clip are
somewhat heavier than a year
ago, and demand continues linn
tied, except in Japan.
Europe's wool clip may show
some increase over last years.
In the United States, however,
sheep and range conditions on
April l were the poorest in sew
eral years.

had guided the plane over the center
of the airport.
Pilot John Murray Of United Air
lines had flown the plane from Iowa
City to Chicago without seeing any
thing except the instruments in front
of him, for the cockpit was effectually
covered by hood. In another cock
pit without a hood rode Ralph John
son, also United pilot. but he didn't
touch the controls during the entire
flight.
All pilots are now trained in instru-
ment flying and the latest inventions
for air navigation have been installed
on company planes. The air trans
port company has recently been max
ing use of its radio telephone commu-
nication between planes and the
ground to lead the "blindfolded" pi-
lots directly to airports.
With the aid of his instruments and
the directive radio beam, the latter
series of code signals identifying
the course Of the airway, Murray was
able to. fly from Iowa City to Chicago
without deviating from his course.
When he arrived at Chicago. the air
port radio operator was able to lead
him directly over the airport.
