Two Firemen's Elves Play First Games of Sched-
 uled Doubleheader

Tonight the Channel Basketball League will resume play after a vacation since before the holidays. In the opening game, the Juneau Fire Department five will play the Douglas Bremen, starting at 7:30 o'clock.
 In the second game, the two new entries in the circuit will clash when the United Meat Company five plays the Y. P. A. c. quintet, composed of Indians from the local village.
 With the addition of Brown, former Moose player, and Ted Lof- tus, who played with the Alaska College here several years ago and who recently moved here, the local Bremen have at least made good the loss of their star center, Ed. Metzgar who is now enrolled in the University of Washington.
 Douglas probably will use the same team it had in the first half.

Tn sport that puts as much strain on the legs as tennis, how do you account for the fact that you can still hold your own with anyone on the courts, while con- temporaries such as Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey, in other sports have long since passed the peak and tennis players, much younger, have failed to keep up your pace?"
 We heaved this somewhat in volved proposition over the dinner table to Big Bill Tilden in the midst of discussion as to his ap- preaching tour with Ellsworth Vines, who is g years old to Big Bills fl.
 ! q can't answer that all in one breath" replied Tilden, because there are a number of things in volved. AS a matter of fact I'm older than either Ruth or Demp- sey and it has always been 8 source of pride to me to be able to outlast them in the competitive field. because all three of us hit i, the top around the same time, soon after the war.
 My advantage over them, from one angle, is that I play my game more consistently, year by year. I'm always or nearly always in competitive condition, and I do not find it difficult, whereas there were long intervals between Demp- sey's big fights and Ruth has a tendency to let down and accumu- late excess poundage between base ball seasons.
 My particular build has not fluctuated more than ten pounds in as many years. I'm heavier now than ever before but that's due to age and not inactivity. At the same time, I have been lucky to avoid so far any further serious trouble with the knee that handi- capped me back in 1926 and 1927" PLAYS TO WIN
 At any time he is preparing for hard match Tilden abstains from smoking. He doesn't touch hard liquor to an extent worth men tioning, at any time. He condi- tions himself by playing tennis, not by going through any special rou- tine of exercises. He eats heartily at all times. He is fond of the opera and the theatre where in times past he has displayed his tal- ents Contract bridge is now one of his chief diversions and there are numerous friends of Big Bill to testify that he knows how to handle the cards.
 He admits he is still tempera- mental enough to play every ten his match to win, as effectively as possible; also to be affected by the galleries.
