fessional tennis newest converts
and former No. ranking amateur
double players, Lester Stoefen and
George Lott. will try again tonight
in the Catholic University gym

again last night in Philadelphia
lost in a similar number OF sets.
Tilden will face Lott IN singles
in opening tonight's program,
which is slated to begin at $50.
Bill defeated Lott in New York,
but bowed to his bitter rival OF
amateur days last night.
In the nightcap Stoefen will play
Vines, who handed the blond Cali

Stoefen's pro singles debut.
Umpiring the doubles match will

OATHOLIC UNIVERSITY has some
good fighters to use against Buck
nell tomorrow night at Brookland,
but 1t probably will have to present
strong team from top to bottom if
Bucknell lives up to advance informa-
tion. 1t seems that two or three of
the Bucknell stars who last year won
championships have been relegated to
the sidelines by better boxers. who will
appear here in their places. Note
worthy in particular is the case of
Cliff Dill, who won in the tournament
championship in which Bucknell took
part, but was knocked out by a soph-
omore named Beck in the tryouts for
the team. Consequently it will be
Beck instead of Dill who faces Capt.
Eddie Thibodeau at c. U. tomorrow
night.
The other feature bout probably will
take place between Red Fleming,
Catholic U. foot ball star, and Bob
Pethick, also a winner in the Inter-
collegiate Conference of which Buck
nell is q member. This bout, as
somebody around Squash Center
might say, ought to be humdinger.
While it will be in walkaway game
tonight. probably, George Washington
will have three basketers in action

HILADELPHIA, January IL
- Some more cash, a lot more
knowledge of this game OF
tennis the way the money
performers go about it and one lone
mark of victory in five starts was all
George Lott and Lester Stoefen had
to show today from the first two
stops on their cross-country profess
sional "rookie" campaign.
With their split" from house OF
some 6,00O-odd paid customers at
Convention Hall last night, they left
for Washington, hoping the third
stop of their trek will bring them
something more than series of ten
mis- lessons by the "old" campaigners
of the pro game-Big Bill Tilden and
dazzling Ellsworth Vines.
Only the fiery Lott managed to
salvage something from last nights
efforts of the newcomers to the money
game, as he outlasted Tilden for a
IS, ell, 81 triumph in d bit
ter duel marked by plenty of the
Chicagoan's caustic remarks, even
more of Bills characteristic tempera-
ment and, exceeding these, whistles,
cheers and jeers from the gallery.
This got Lott revenge for the lacing
he suffered at the hands and mastery
of the "Old Wizard" in the game the
night before in New York, but his
greatest ambition he didn't achieve.
For the 1884 worlds best" anna
teur combination was made up of just
two other players so far as Tilden and
Vines were concerned, and the tenn
peramental Philadelphia and his
ianky Californian partner came out
on top, 12-l0, 2-6, 60, 0-6, 6-2.
Meantime Stoefen made a belated
and disastrous bow to the pro singles
game as Vines, far-improved player
from what he was a year ago, sped
through with IS, 6-3 conquest.
The alternate bursts of tempera-
ment by Tilden and Lott in their ex-
tended singles duel provided the
nights big feature. as Tilden requested
the umpire to please get this crowd

quiet" and to task them II they
haven't the decency to let us finish" "
Lott confined his remarks to several
interchanges with the umpire about
calling of balls and to slight display
of temper at Tilden's interruption OF
play to demand quiet.
AS for the play, Vines thrilling per-
Torrance in the doubles duel was by
far outstanding. He had every stroke
ready and in evidence at the end OF
his racquet, and at times even car
ried" Tilden over the tough spots.

Maryland Presents Ring Stars.

n HARYLAND Will throw against V.
,lV NJ l. three exceptionally good
boxers in Joan Nedomatsky,
Lyman McAboy and Steve McCaw.
The first mentioned is going to be one
OF the best lightweightS in this Sec
ton. and last year McCaw won the
Southern Conference light heavy
weight championship, and McAboy
fought through to the final to lose to
Stewart of Virginia by a margin so
skinny that the judges and referee
said it was one of the closest and
hardest bouts they ever had seen in
an intercollegiate ring.
Cavedo, in the 115-pound class for
V.M. l., is the youngster whogave young
Hahn of Virginia such great battle
in the conference tournament. Bur-
ton also put up a fine battle in the
tournament. Whittle and Eastman
are from last years freshman team, on
which they did not lose a bout.
The scrap between Eastman and
Waller of Maryland, who is quite some
puncher himself, should be a great
affair.
With v. M. I. coming up with a
much better boxing team than was
anticipated, and Duke dropping in
here after defeating Army. at--West-
Point, it would seem that Maryland
has more than enough to give it con-
Germ in the first of its double bill COM

1 teur sports success is marked
4 by the number Of competitors
and the quality of the COM
petition rather than by the size Of the
gate or the number of spectators as in
professional contests.
At the conclusion Of a year filed
with growth and progress by these
standards, despite unsettled conditions
in fields political and economic, anna
teur sport looks forward to new
triumphs, national as we'll as inter-
national, during 1885.
Competitive sport, first organized on
a large scale in the United States, is
gradually spreading to all parts Of the
civilized world. Lacking the private
initiative supplied in this country by
athletic clubs and educational institu-
tions, in nations like Italy, Japan,
Mexico and Soviet Russia, the gov
ernment. recognizing the values of
physical training and recreation to its
citizens, has taken a hand and is pro-
noting and encouraging competitive
sports and games on a national scale.

r EADERS representing such widely
differing political PHILOSOPHERS
as those OF MuSsolini, Hitler and

More and more foreign countries,

can methods.
At the recent convention of the
Amateur Athletic Union invitations

THE SPORTZIGHT
Horse Racing, Color Movies Make Life
Anything but Dull for Jock Whitney.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

"Equipose, another great horse, also
has a chance. But doubt that either
at this date can beat Calvacade II he
is right. Calvacade is younger and
closer to racing form. There are other
good horses in this big stake event,
and many things can happen between
now and late February.
1t ought to be a great race, however,
one of the most spectacular We have
ever seen. But it will be some weeks
before one can tell just how the lead
ers look"
I asked young Whitney If he didn't
think there were too many race tracks
sprouting all over the landscape.
There can easily be too many" he
said, 'if they are not run by the proper
organizations. Santa Anita is lucky in
the racing authorities handling Cali
direct charge, such as DR.. Strub, Hal
Roach, Gwynne Wilson and others.
This track should be big success. just
as Hialeah has been and will continue
to be. There will generally be enough
good horses to 60 around"
FavOrite Sports.
n AGING is not the only sport that
II happens to attract Jock Whit
ney'S interest. He went out for
rowing at Yale, and today his favorite
sports are polo and tennis, with hunt
ing and fishing among the attracting
side lines.
He admits that he can't shoot quail
with Maj. Louis Beard. who is in
charge of the Whitney breeding farms
at Lexington. But In addition to
racing. polo. tennis, hunting and fish
ing he is still keen and active in busi-
ness, with the color process for motion
pictures now taking up large part
of his time.
AS result of varied pursuits, New
York, Los Angeles and Miami have
turned him into a fairly busy traveller
and the airplane has come to his
rescue in turning these once widely
separated ports of call into neighbor-
ing cities, only few hours away.
The Whitney stables have meant
more to racing than most people un-
derStand. Yet even the toughest of
all camp followers knows that when
a Whitney entry starts this horse is
at least trying, wherever he finishes.

He is quiet, courteous, extremely
modest, with the rare attitude of be-
ing more interested in listening than

ney, who has come closer to mixing
up business and sport in a sane way
than any one I know.
Jock Whitney was among those who
came out to see the new Santa Anita
race course get under headway and
see how the various Whitney stables
were making out-including Twenty
Grand.
He also came to Hollywood to en-
gage a director and see the start Of
his new color picture, Becky Sharp"
which is now ready for production.
The Whitneys have gone into the
new color process on rather large
scale and this next feature will give
a good line regarding the immediate

won that race by head. They are
both great horses. But Twenty Grand
has been out of competition for some

"They are not rivals in any sense
of the word, as there are quite enough
good horses to take care of both tracks.
Both tracks are run and controlled by
sportsmen who happen to love racing
who happen to have the interest of
racing and breeding at heart. Both
are extremely well organized and well
managed"
Racing stables" I suggested, "are
fairly expensive investments. How
have the Whitneys made out in this
respect?"
Racing stables and breeding farms
are expensive" he said, "but we have
just about broken even. The win
nings of Twenty Grand and Equipoise
alone have been substantial-enough
to cover a few hundred thousand dol
lars of expense charges. A few big
winners take good care of many
others, although it costs money to
raise, feed, train and develop a thor

Spurred by its success in securing

that there is some chance of speed

journment than has up to now seemed
possible. AS evidence of their changed
plans, both House and Senate held
Saturday sessions, and the tempo has
been appreciably whipped up. Instead
of talking of Labor Day and August
as terminating time for the present
session, the cloakroomS now echo
hopeful assertions that adjournment
by July fourth is a real possibility.
That does not necessarily mean
that the Presidents many-pointed pro-
