By HENRY McLEMOIsE (lJnitcd Press Staff COrrcspOndcnO

(UntIeU HFcSS otuu NO'hNSpVS''
 New York, Jan f0.--UP)--Wil- liam Tatem Tiden, tho lone sur vivor of sports diamond decade, goes marching on!
 Ruth, his legs shot, Is q mocking reminder of the Babe of old. Dempsey, fat of cheek and jowI, wouldn't last round with the ter TOT of Toledo. Jones, weary of the at rain of combat. watches from the border of tho fairway. Nurmi no longer tho tircless one, reads Of his marks being shattered by young aters. Sandc. fat as q cherub, trains but doesn't ride. Wills IS no longer queen. Rockne is dead. So is old Tex.
 But Big Bill marches right on. | His service still ricochcts off tho ground with tho velocity of q bul- let. His forohand and backhand | still hammer down tho sides and ! middle, and his smashing kill still | thunders and roars. He is just one month this side of 42, but how much would you care to wager against him in a match with any tennis player in tho world? Tonight, on tho striped canvas that is the indoor court of Madi- son Square Garden. Big Bill goes out against Ellsworth Vines, q young man just half his age and q fellow who hits q tennis ball us hard as anybody who ever played the game, yet who is U 2 to 1 fa- vorite to win The keen youngster with all tho speed and stamina. and a game sound enough to win tho all-England and American championships in 1892? No, the old fellow, tho old fellow whose legs and oycs were thought to havo betrayed him as long as fivo years ago.
 In fact. tho amazing veteran is playing such a superb game that there are those who believe he will "carry" Vines along tonight in or der to mako tho show worth watching, and to preserve Vines lurc as an attraction. IIe won't! If ho can win the eighteen straight games, he will, the customers on hand and the customers of tho fu- ture be damned. Big Bill still k tho superb cgotist, and tonight with 1b.000 spectators in tho house. hell be putting everything he's got in every shot. Win or lose, he'll play all the tennis he knows.
 Just how brightly the flame of competition still burns in Big Bills breast is shown by an incident in his recent match with Winnie Rich ards in Philadelphia. In tho first set Bill was serving and ono of his cannonball slants caught the out side of tho service court line. When the umpire ruled 1t an ace. Rich ards, who thought 1t outside, showed his displeasuro by Erimac- ing at tho umpire and at Bill.
 Walking 0 few feet toward tho net. 1ilden spoke to Richards:
 "So you don't think 1t was good, oh Winnie, well, how do you liko thesc?"
 Whoreupon Bill ran out tho game with blistering aces that Richards never touched, and, con- tinucd tho barrage the next time he served with four more shots that Richards didn't lay racket on. As Richards tells tho story himself. it must be true.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-10

Cornered at his hotel today, the man who fought gamely for q decade to rebuild Trazee's wrecked Red Sox, said he was completely sold on Brooklyn as red hot base- ball town.
 Last season the Fiatbushers lock- ed so good in training that some of the experts picked them to win tho pennant, but they wound up in sixth place, the most disappoint- ing club in the majors.
 Free For All
 "I figure tho 1884 race will be tho tightest in years because the National league clubs appear so evenly balanced" Quinn said. "Th0 club that has just little extra strength here and there will have the best chance to win. l figure we'll have that strength.
 we've acquired new players with an idea of strengthening every department. And some of those young fellows are bound to como through. Moreover, tho liver base- ball will give moro hitting confi- dence to the veterans, something, I understand, that was needed last season."
 The Brooklyn pitching staff has been bolstercd by the acquisition Of Leslie Munns, 6 big right-hander from st Paul; Philip Page, right handler from Seattle; Arthur Her. ring, right-h handler from Detroit and Beaumont, and Bob Edwards, right- handler from Albany. In addition. the Dodgers still have Van Mungo, Benge, Ray Lucas. Shaute, Beck, Carroll, Leonard, Jones and Per- kins.
 New Blood
 Ray Burres, brilliant young catcher from Birmingham is ex- pocted to help Lopez, with Bill and Clyde Sukeforth also available as bnckstops.
 James Butcher, who hit 1882 for Greensboro last season and slam- med out 25 homers, is expected to be c valuable addition to tho infold. He's q second baseman. Other infielders arc Stripp, Cucci- hello, Flowers, Fry, Leslie, Delmas and Wright.
 Quinn beamed as ho told of tho l acquisition of Glenn Chapman from Indianapolis. Tho manager has Chapman tabbed as comor. He's a hard hitting outfielder, and re- portedIy ono of tho fastest fly hawks in tho business. In addition | Len Koenecke was obtained from Buffalo.
 Other outflelders arc Hack Will son, Frederick, Taylor and Boyle. | Quinn said he and Manager Max Carey might mako other deals be- fore the batteries report for prac- tice at Orlando. Fla, on March 4.

ELI STUDENTS WANT
 WINNING TEAM

New Haven, Conn, Jan 10 -(UP)-Yn1e photographic ates want n winning football team and they have no ob- jcctIon 10 coaches recruited from outside the ranks of Yale alumni. but they do want the team composed of legitimate students, the In- vcstigator writes today in the Yale News, student daily.
 The conccnsus, he says, Is that no special Inducements should be offered in "gct- ting" players md that the scholastic bars should not be lowered for them after they enter Ynlc.
 The matter of Yale men coaching Yale terms seems uniInpOrtant. he says, in view of tho action of the Yale corporation which scv- craI years ago named Dr James Rowland Angcll pres idcnt although he was not n Yale alumnus.

TervyvilR Sports

In the first game, tho East Bnd Eagles were nearly knocked off their high perch by the hard work ing Chukkers. This game was one of tho most hotly contested of any held in the league this year. Tho many fans who saw tho games can testify to that. Tom Banulas and Dan Wrobleski were high scorers for the East Ends while J. Kim kouski and Charley Garber took tho honors for tho Chukkers.
 This game leaves the 10. ID. 10. in sole possession of first place. If tho r. 0. 10. defeat tho Outlaws next Monday 1t will cause a tieup for the first half. The St Casi- mfrs who defeated the Outlaws last night are also in the running. They play the Chukkers next week and thus tho St Caslmer may be tho cause of a triple tie for tho first half.
 In tho second game of tho even- ing, Fritz Budd and sammy Yack- nix brought in most of tho bacon for the winning St Casimers. Ras- tus Levendoslsi and Stanley Pyrzon- ski were high scorers for the Out laws.

The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINs ELLIS.
,her-hold" originated the

from "wether-hold' originated the
name.
This surname is we'll known In
America. The first settlers came from
County Durham and County Kent.
The coat of arms was borne by the
Wetberills of County DHham. Gyles
Wetherill was Che progenitor of this
branch and it was his descendant.
Christopher, who became identified
with the Quaker sect and came to
America, settling in New Jersey in
1888. A man of considerable sub
stance, Christopher furnished the site
for the first Quaker meeting house in
Burlington, N. j. He was a leader in
his community and was appointed to
many positions of trust and impor-
tance.
In the New England colony we find
mention of William Wetherill, school,
master and preacher, who came from
County Kent in 1885. He settled first
in Charlestown, Mass, later removing
to Scituate.
Another New England settler bear
ing the name of Wetherill, and no
doubt near relative of the preced-
ing, was John. He established him
self in Watertown. Mass, where he
was a freeman in l642.
This family has been noted for the
stability and faithfulness to duty Of
its members in every generation.

they bite the hook readily. They al
ways travel in great numbers, and
feeding them is not plan of the
traWling crew.
You can always tell the father skate
from the mother. The father is less
thorny. The mother is studded with
thorns on the upper surface of her
body, except on the midline back of
her shoulder girdle. Her head has
some conspicuous ones, too, and her
snout has few for decoration. Both
father and mother skates are pos
SeSsed of blunt snouts, with a rounded
tip, and about their eyes there is a
bulging margin that does not add to
their looks one bit There are so
rows of rounded teeth, that are very
small and set close together, pavement
fashion.
The smallest member of the skate
family is found in great numbers in
the Gulf of Maine. Their general
range is in the coastal waters from
Nova Scotia and the Gulf of St. Law
renee to Virginia.
Their color scheme is grayish to
dark brown, with light brown as a
contrast. Usually many dark, round
dots are scattered over the coat. The
abdomens are grayish white.
In the Summer. they like the shoal
water. In the Winter they return to
deep water, about 30 to so fathoms
deep. They have been caught in
deeper water.
Many people who have strolled
along the shores. where the skates are
known, have picked up their strange
looking egg cases. Along the beaches
at high-water mark, the empty "mer-
maids purses" are common. No other
fish "egg-basket' is SO fashioned. It
is blackish or sea green in color,
leathery in texture. and wheel-barrow
in shape. The size depends on the
age of the mother skate. At each
corner of the basket Is hollow
handle that clings to the floating sea-
weed, where they are laid. The eggs
may be 2 to 3 inches long and
from one to two in a case.
Some know the skate by the name
of old maid, tobacco box, hedge hog,
bonent fish and Summer skate. Again,
it is seen that many names mean wide
distribution
