M professional racket monarch
v " of the universe who looked
anything but here Saturday
evening, today is in Bahston, the city OF
the glorified bean, taking his continual
argument with young ELY Vines to the
courts again. But Big Bill divested
himself Of a few opinions on various
and sundry items pertaining to the net
realm ere he showed of for the New
England metropolis.
A boisterous Come in!" came in an
swer to our rap on the panel, and we
wabbled in to find Tilden in the early
stages of dressing 1t was rare oppor-
tunity to look at Bills remarkable legs,
the amazing underpinning that has borne
him through 80 years Of galloplng, stop

grass. hardwood and whatnot, outlaStlng
many contemporary sets of shafts, IN
cluding those of Dempsey, Ruth, Shar-
KEY. Paddock and others. The T1lden

punishment than the pins OF any otner
outstanding athletic figure, yet tney SUN
respond unhesitatingly to Tildens
lunees for a sideline pickup. an over

Time is gaining on his propellers.
Tilden admits. He confesses also that
Vines contributes very little to the con-
tentment of his limbs. for the Cali

far more than did Najuch, Kozeluh or
others travelling in the troupe last year.
Najuch and Kozeluh, the latter par
ticularly, boasted marvellous defensive
games and relies more upon court STRAIT

But Vines takes Tilden's scorch1ng re-
turns and hands them back in kind
his accuracy down the lines is wen
known-and the drain upon the Al
vear-old veterans spindles is bound to
leave its mark.
Tilden no doubt will collect more
coin with Vines in his encourage, but
he'll earn more.

~ marked Tilden. Who wants an
open tennis tournament now?
Certainly the amateurs dont-they ad-
nit themselves there is no one among
them who could be expected to beat
the pros. And with Vines, Richards
and Barnes in the ranks of paid play
ers. we have no reason to desire an
question of superiority is no longer a
question"
Which seems logical when you glance
at the situation. Frank Shields. Amer
icas top ranking amateur practiced
with Tilden almost daily during the
Winter and failed to take a set. Tilden
believes an open net meet would drag
in a considerable pile of scrip, but AYERS
he would be interested only ''if l might

other foreign stars would be entered"
Tilden heartily approves the entry of

The Willy Gelding.

THE moral Of today's lesson is "cau-
ton in everything" Our second
case is that of a cautious horse,
Bicester. Bicester was running last the
other day in the United Service Handi-
cap Steeplechase in England
The legs go first" unused the 9-year-
old gelding as he watched his younger
rivals flash on ahead of him. But
brains still count in this game"
With silent chuckle the horse sailed
over the water jump. taking it correctly.
His strategy did not escape the atten-
tion OF the judges. AS he numbered lazily
across the line. a good last. the an
nouncer proclaimed "Bicester wins!"
"Bicester was the only one to take the
water jump correctly" explained the
judges to the bewildered bettors. The
gelding laughed merrily on his way to
the stables.
"You boys should be more careful"
he told the rest of the field. This Is a
game where brains count"
For caution and cerebral fortitude, I
give you Bicester and Felix Reynaud.
You can have them.

Viewing the situation
~ from every angle, I conf
IDENTIFY expect 1884 will be
q far better year in college ath-
letics than was 1888.
That the American people pre-
fer amateur athletics to other
forms of sports is evidenced by
their attendance at certain spec
tacular college events as COM
pared with their attendance at
other games, contests and spec
tacleS.
A year ago more than 100000 spec
tators witnessed the opening ceremonies
In connection with the Olympic games
at Los Angeles. There were more peo-
ple that day in the Los Angeles Coli
scum than for a number of years have
attended any single prize tight,
wrestling match, horse race, or pro1es-
sional base ball CT foot ball game. The
OLYMPIC games, however, are rlch IN
tradition and naturally are not held
in this country very often. However.
there are many thousand foot ball
games played every Fall and this last
season at several of these games the
crowds approxinated the crowd on the
opening day of the Olympic games.

Basket Ball Advances.

~ ASKET BALL has become major
X sport in most colleges and univer-
sites. There are undoubtedly more
boys playing basket ball in the schools
and colleges of the country than there
are men or boys playing in any other
games. Further, in most OF the edu-
cational institutions basket ball as a
sport is self-supporting.
Last year amateur base ball showed
some improvement. The American
Legion, by promoting base ball for boys
under II years of age. has given an
nuallv some 400. 900 lads an opportun-
nifty to play the game under adult su-
pervision These boys on entering
high school and college carry their en-
thusiasm for base ball with them and
the effect Of the Legion program has
been noticeable both in the schools and
colleges.
During the period of prosperity the
educational institutions built adequate
athletic plants. consisting of gymnasia,
field houses. swimming pools tennis
courts, golf courses, play fields, skating
Kinks and stadia. With these plants
available, the schools and colleges are
now abundantly equipped to carry on
their physical education and athletic
activities

"HE National Collegiate Athletlc MS
sociation conducted survey this
= last Fall for the purpose OF
understanding the state of athletics IN
the American colleges. Among otner
things revealed by this survey was the
fact that not only did the attendance
at college foot ball games increase, but;
further. that the gate receipts increased
approximately Is per cent as compared
with the receipts OF 1882.
The colleges are interested In attn
letics, not primarily from the stand
point of gate receipts. and these facts
are cited by way of showing general
public interest in the college games.
During the depression the colleges Tor
the most part have been forced to cur
tail their health education and inter-
collegiate athletic programs. They have
been compelled to curtail or temporarily
drop some of the intercollegiate sports.
With economic life. however, again on
the upgrade it is reasonable to antici-
pate that the institutions of higher
learning. through their athletic depart
ments, will in 1884 be enabled to carry
on their full programs more effectively
than they did in 1888.

Up to late August, 1888, Helen Wills
Moody had been the outstanding figure
Of sport.
She was the one champion who had
little or no competition. She had
picked up where Suzanne Lenglen left
of. It was merely a matter OF how
wide her margin of victory was to be.
An English star finally won set
from the champion, and became famous.
But Mrs. Moody's margin of superiority
was so wide that she felt confident OF
winning again at Forest Hills in spite
of the handicap Of some physical dis
ability.
There have been a thousand stories
told and written around this occasion,
one being that she was forced into this
championship against her will.
The only known facts are that Mrs.
Moody was not nearly at her peak-and
that she failed to meet the intricate
situation that developed with anything
even approaching diplomacy or public
appeal.
Moody at all well understand that
diplomacy and public appeal are Two
matters which are quite beyond her
understanding. This is not q unique

ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 14.-The

This organization has already
won it's spurs. On Nov. 7, over $50
of its members marched through a
pouring rain to the relief bureau
and demanded increased relief.
Workers here are receiving as low
as $3.50 8 week and have been
threatened with a return to the
basket system.
In answer to the claim of the
relief officials, that no one is starv-
ing, the Relief Workers Union
brought forward proof that one
aged woman had been without food
or fuel for three days, and when
these same officials said that they
did not have the time to meet with
workers committees the union re-
piled that the whole membership
would pay them a visit if their
committees were not recognized. 1t
was this pressure that finally forced
a State investigation of conditions
on the relief work projects where
the foremen are consistently drunk
and drive the men to exhaustion.
