New Haven, Jan 2g--"Big Bill" Tiiden will appear at the New Haven Arena on the night of Feb ruary list in Q series of matches against Hans Musslein, German challenger for the worlds profess sIonni tennis crown, Emmett Pare, youthful Chicago net brilliant and Bruce Barnes. former intercoliegi.
 Ever since he was boy in his teens, Big Bill" as he Is known wherever the game of tennis Is played, has been fascinated by the theater.S He has played in amateur theatricals featuring in Booth Turkington's plays, and he has alsn, won the spurs oil the professional stage on Broadway. So much is his heart in the theater that Q few years ago he went into "stock' and not only played his roles upon the stage but furnished financial backing for Q chain of theaters given over to stock companies.
 The intense interest of Tildens in the theater explains in part why he has been such Q tremendous drawing card on the tennis courts. He is not only the greatest player the game has probably ever known but also the most spectacular ana colorful. ".
 No matter where he plays (wheth. er it is in the United States, Eng land, France, Australia, or any other country he has been in. nc never falls to lure the crowd to which his name means the uiti- mate, not only in tennis form and stroke production but also in dramatics.

.LABARBA EASY
 CHOICE TO WIN OVER TOM WATSON
British Feather King to Make Debut at Garden Winner Gets ChOcO-
 late
By JACK CUDDY


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Jan 27-(UP)-John Mortimer, manager of Seaman Watson, Great Britain's newest contribution to the gayety of na- tions, to-day issued the usual pre- battle predictions of victory which caused the wise boys to continue laying two to one that Fidel La Barba slaps the sailor down when they meet at the Garden tonight.
 Both Watson and La Barba, for mer hyweight champion, will scale 128 pounds. Watson's British title will not be at stake.
 Although Seaman will be the first British fiyweight title-holder in 22 years to exhibit his wares In an American ring, his debut is Q flop in advance because of a poor showing against three preliminary boys in Q "jury tria".
 Work Ahead
 To the winner of to-night's brawl will automatically go the privilege of meeting Kid Chocolate, feather weight champion, next month. The Cuban flash was originally to have met Seaman but his deportation to Havana prevented 1t. ..
 Should Tidel win he will be matched against Chocolate for the fourth time. He beat the Cuban once and lost twice on questionable decisions.
 Benny Bass, former feather. weight and junior lightweight champion, will meet Sid Lampe of Paterson, N. J., in the 10-round semi-flnal.

This Sporting World
Hockey Hullabaloo
3, JOHN A cLUNEY

From first impressions, one might come to the conclusion that the threat of Leo Dundurana. manager of Les Canadiens to bring official action against the man. agement of the Boston Bruins for melting their players to physica combat in a recent contest which got serious when George owen brought his stick down on Art Jo- Hats skull, Is much ado about nothing. Hockey players have been in such tangles before and they probably will be again. In fact, the players have been in such tangles before and they probably will be again. In fact. the players have put on phoney scrambles now and then when the attendance was falling off, just like they used to do in the old roller polo league and sure enough, the customers would be on hand m much better numbers at the next game. After all, it's rather diff
 cult for q manager to make a full gfown man swing a hockey stick a'
 another player, if he himself does not imagine q reason for doing so'

LaBarba The Needle Watson Will Get

Rated as fairly good inc fighter from what little New York sports writers have seen of hilm in the past three weeks. Seaman Tommy Watson, late of the kings navy, goes to the post tonight . decided second choice to E1del Iabarba, the classy cuffer from the coast. With the forced resignation of Kid ChOcO- late one of the two American fcatherveight champions from the bout with Watson, the Brit isher's fcatherWcight champion. : ship of England will not be at stake for the pOundagc calls for f28, two more than the limit for feather boxers. It was perfectly ok. to bring oyer an untried unseen British boxer and given hiEn q crack at the worlds 126 pound title, but when 1t comes fo putting his own on the block to an American challenger, there's no soap. They sure do protect those English lads, but,
 when you come to think of It, someone must do 1t, for they can- not protect themselves.

 New York, January 27 Be- ing nothing more than six, seven or eight profound paragraphs on this and that:
 The most amazing bit of news of the week was contained in the in- ternational League fielding aver-- ages and concerned our old friend Ike Boone, Ike, the same old Ike whose antics while in pursuit or . fly ball remi ided one of an ele- phant in q revolving door, was the best fielding outfielder in the league last season. We woudnf have been more surprised had we read where Mahatma Gandhi had signed to model for Q raccoon coat company.
 This departments weekly award of three (E) hand-carved pump kin jack olanterns (candle equip. ped) for the most choice bit or hooey, is hereby awarde dto those gentlemen who brewed that yarn about Baby Arizimenti and his weight making. You know, the one how baby, unable to meet the poundage required for his fight with Speedy Dado, solved tho difficulty by cutting his hair.
 Coach Chet Wynne of the Au- burn football team was given Q left handed salary raise this year --or perhaps 1t was Q cut. Any way, Auburn officials simpiy handed Wynne the football bud. get for 1888, telling him "to get the former Notre Dame ace must have seen some good gettings for he spurned offers from Florid! University, which, unconfirmed rumors say, offered him Q long term contract. Auburn paid Wynne $12,000 a year the last three years, an amount. incidentally, $2,500 above the salary of the president of the school.
 When Alabama U calls TOT spring football practice Head Coach Frank Thomas VIII pc greeted by a squad capable of pro- ducing four lines that WI! average better than 200 pounds from end to end. Which prompted punning Phreddy to remark that the Grim son tide Is liable to have a "weigh" about 1t next fall.
 It's the some Phreddy, incident. ally. who wants to know if that battle for the professional tennis championship between Bill Tildon and Hans Nusslein can't rightfully be called the hundred years war.
 Aquatic experts who were at the ringside for the k. O.. Christner. King Levinsky fight the other night were unanimous in their opinion that K. O. if he will oniy overcome q tendency to groan a, he makes his dives, is the logical successor to Georgia Coleman. Il was this bout, by the way that pro- duced the best wisecrack of the week. At the end of his story ir the World Telegram, Harry Gray son had this brief announcements Next week = Annette Kellermar In person."
 It isn't possible. is 1t. that thti George Lott who played 66 tourna. ments last year and who Is righ' now battling away in the All-Soutf meet at Miami. is the same George Lott, who, Q couple of years ago swore off tennis for fear of be- coming a tennis bum?"
 Whats become of Johnny Doeg asks J. G., Atlanta.
 Answer. The 1880 national ten his champion meant 1t when ht said he was through with competi' tive tennis and Is now 0 success full business man in Newark.
