CENTRAL, TECH TOP
HIGH BASKET FIELD
Blue Routs Roosevelt, While
Gray Trounces Stubborn j..
Western Quint.

THOSE who may have in
clined to sell Central, de-
i Tending champion, short
in the public high school
basket ball championship series
today are wondering whether
they have not been q bit hasty.
True, the Blue Streaks were not
so impressive in pre-series
matches and in downing West
ern, 1927, in their opening series
test, but their stock is higher fol-
lowing their 1921 rout of Roose-
velt.
The Ruff Riders may not be the hot
test things in the series, by any means,
but they have done pretty we'll in their
games prior to the title set and we're
expected to make Central hustle.
In the other match yesterday Tech,
making one of those strong finishes so
characteristic of teams that wear the
Gray, conquered a stubborn Western
qulnt. 1921, and as result Central
and Tech today are riding in front Of
the title battle. each with two wins in
as many starts.
That Central-Tech scrap, the night
cap of Tuesdays double-header, prom
ises to be hot.
After their gallant fight against Gen.
trail last week, whcih found them only
two points behind the Streaks in the
last minutes, the Westerners came back
yesterday to sweep Tech off its feet
until the final half when the Gray put
on rally that was not to be denied.
Western had 1877 lead at the inter-
mission, but Tech, with Josh Billings,
who entered the game in the second
quarter, thoroughly warmed up, stepped
out to grab 1922 edge as the third
quarter ended. Billings simply couldn't
miss, regardless of distance or angle, it
seemed.
Tech steadily increased its lead as
the game waned Billings. with l3
points, and Al Gillem, with 9, led Nc
Kinley's attack, while Larry Green,
with 9, was high for Western.

nIERE is what Grantland Rice has
III to say about Tilden and Vines:
Fifteen years ago - back in
1871 saw Bill Tilden face Bill
Johnston in the final test for the ma
tional tennis championship Big Bill
was no mere kid then. He was 26
years old and he had been hammering
away at title for several years. Til
den was a college tennis player and a
pretty good one. So he has been in
the thick of this game for about
R5 years.
Yet at the age of Al he appears to
be much better tennis player against
Ellsworth Vines in 1884 than he ap-
peared to be against Bill Johnston
in 1919
It might be said that Little Bill had
something to do with this situation.
Probably. But in spite of that, Tilden
today is better at Al than he was at
rs or rs, supposed to be the top years
for competitive sport
~ Tilden still is the master of every
tennis stroke. He still has his slash
ing, smoking service.
He still has his control Of speed, his
change of pace his remarkable ability
to go and get.
He still is fast on his feet and ap-
parently tireleSS in five-set match.
And the 41-year-old dome of thought
still is working overtime.
-
wv is the same mixture of bril-
liancy and erratic play.
He is capable of the finest tennis
which at almost any moment may turn
into spotty tennis.
This is a fault, which continued play
against good professionals should elm
inate in time.
Vines should learn more than one
helpful lesson from the lanky Phila-
delphian, who always is generous in
his instructive aid.
1t might be remembered that Vines
still is several years younger than
Tilden was when Big Bill finally ham
mered his way to the top.
Big Bill had no easy road. He was
27 before he finally broke up the DOM
nance of Bill Johnston, his leading
rival for many years.
A year of professional competition,
with the financial strain no longer
hacking at his concentration, will take
Vines a long way.
The Californian has all the needed
equipment in stock, including courage.

Somewhat Impressing.

TINE big slugger, who appeared in
1877 games last season, although
he played only a few innings in
good many of them, had anticipated
another cut and signified his willing
ness to accept it provided it was "rea-
sonable," Yesterdays conference was
arranged without any of the customary
ballyhoo and the quick agreement took
the base ball world by considerable
surprise, although Ruth's philosophic
attitude toward another salary cut was
well known.
Never before in his Is years with the
Yankees has the former home-run king
ever signed one of his big contracts
before March and never before has an
agreement been reached on the first
bounce"
Although he has lost much of his
speed and has been forced to yield his
home run crown to Jimmie Fox, Ruth
expects to play in at least 100 games
for the Yankees in 1884. After that
he may be ready to quit.
Some close followers of the game
thought that the readiness with which
Ruth came to terms indicated the pos
sibility that he might get a chance
to manage the club after Joe Nc
Carthy's contract expires in 1895.
