NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The great
est tennis player of the past, the
best of the present, the finest
doubles player since Nero, and a
long-legged gent who might have
been tops for all time-past, pres
ent and future-had he chosen TO
apply himself more diligently, per-
form in Madison Square Garden
tonight.
I speak of the Messrs. Tilden,
Vines, Lott and Stoefen. Tonight S
engagement marks the profession
al debut of Lott and Stoefen, and
the opening of a tour which will
make the annual pilgrimage of
Barnum and Bailey S seem like an
overnight trip to Hoboken.
The itinerary arranged by Pro-
moter Bill O'Brien reads like Rand
and McNally talking in their sleep.
The boys won't miss town big
enough to have a tennis court, even
if it's only one of those homemade
affairs with chicken wire backstop,
and pitched in Mrs. O'Toole' IS back
yard. On their swing through the
country the racqueteers will travel
24,000 miles and hit 80 cities.
We want to render the country
tennis conscious Mr.. O'Brien
said, "even if it renders us uncon-
sciouS.'
The schedule for the grand op-
ening under the Garden flood
lights calls for Tilden to play Lott
Stoefen to engage Vines, and a
doublfs match with Lott and Stoef-
en- meeting the other two. Stoef-
en- IS meeting with Vines, right now
the finest player in the world, has
been ballyhooed as the feature
match, and insofar as stroke pro-
duction is concerned, probably will
be. But for drama and spirit, the
clash of Tilden and Lott stands out
To begin with, Lott doesn't like
Tilder and Tilden can't abide Lott
which makes it practically unani-
nous. AS amateurs they barely
spoke, and when they did it was
usually to harpoon the other. 1t
was only a year ago that Tilden
said he never made Lott profess
sional offer, and never would-that
he was the type of fellow pro ten
mis- definitely did not want.
Lott is concerted. Tilden is too

NEGRO BOXER
STANDS OUT
AS GOOD ONE
Joe Louis Recognized As Real
Threat To Leading Heavy
weight Contenders.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Jan. 8. - An old fight
fan watched Joe Louis in action
for a few rounds, and said:
"If that isn't a big edition of Joe
Cans, these old eyes are deceiving
me. He can box, he can punch and
he likes to fight. Everv c:oye is in
stinctive. He moves with the grace
~ an animal. He has a great de-
fense and it looks like he can take
it. If he isn't the next heavyweight
champion. it'll be because the cham
pion won't fight him."
He was talking about the 20-year-
old Negro sensation who was born
in Montgomery, Ala, and now lives
in Detroit. Louis has engaged in 13
professional bouts since July 4, and
won them all-10 by k. o.'s and
three by decisions. He has had ey-
cry opponent on the floor. AS an
amateur he had Sd battles, winning
/ 80 by k. o.'s and losing only two de-
cisions in 3-round bouts
Louis is amber colored His face
is expressionless. When he goes into
action it is for one purpose; to
fight. He never backs up. He goes
moving in, dropping those short
punches which travel from 6 to IL
inches. He can punch from either
fist, from any position.
In six months he has fought his
way to the fringe of the leading
contenders - Schmeling, Carnera
Hamas, Lasky. In another six
months he'll be the outstanding
contender for Max Baers crown, ir
the opinion of almost every smart
boxing man who has seen him ir
action.
Louis made $100 for his first
match, and drew more than $4,000
for his 18th bout with Patsy Perron
in Detroit last week. His next bout
will be against Hans BirKie at Pitts
burgh Friday night, and then ht
goes to Los Angeles to meet Lee Ra-
mage in a return bout February 81
Managed By Negroes
Louis managers are both Negroes
John w. Roxborough and Juliar
Black. His trainer and chief second
is Jack Blackburn, one of the best
Negro fighters of his time. He was
so good he had to give away as
much as 20 pounds sometimes to gel
a match.
Various cliques have tried TO buy
their way into Louis contract, but
thus far none has been successful
Most of the early money Louis
made he owed Roxborough, SO HI
is just coming into real money o.
his own. The downfall of most Ne
gro fighters in the past has beer
prosperity. Louis may avoid this
Ipitfall. He never drinks nor smokes
He is a quiet boy, and always trieS
/ to remain in the background. They
say he reads the Bible religiously.
He has whipped some really good
| fighters k. o.'d Stanley Poreea
who holds a decision over Carnera;
x. o.'d Lee Ramage, who holds de-
cisions over Hamas and Lasky, and
defeated Patsy Perroni.
One of Louis biggest problems
from now on is to get matches. A
lot of heavyweights are going to
start drawing the color line, and
stay on their own side.

COAST LEAGUE
SCHEDULE To
Be SHORTER

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9. U.P)-
The Pacific coast league broke
with tradition today in announc-
ing a split-week schedule and pick
ing Saturday for the opening day
of the 1885 campaign.
Disearding the time-honored
Tuesday opening, the league direct
ors decided to stage the opening
games Saturday, April 6, with Seat
tie at Sacramento, Portland at
Oakland, the Missions and the
Seals at San Francisco, and Hol-
lyWood at Los Angeles.
Not satisfied then with the blow
they already had given the old
order, the directors voted a sched-
ule which has the home team
meeting two opponents week, the
first in four game series COM
mencing on Saturday and includ-
ing a Sunday double-header and
the second in a three game COM
petition beginning each Tuesday.
Friday instead of Monday will be
the off-day.
Under this program, in the OPEN
ing week arrangements the Los
Angeles team goes to Sacramento
after opening against Hollywood,
the Seals cross the bay to Oakland,
Portland journeys to Hollywood,
and Seattle will be the guests OF
the Missions for the second half
of the initial week.
The teams will battle until Sep
tember %, when the curtain will
be dropped in order to avoid con-
flict with the college football sea-
son. The closing date is one week
earlier than in 1884.

and doubled in spades. Lott thinks
he knows nearly all there is to
know about tennis. Tilden rates
his own opinion as the only one
worth crossing room to hear. To-
night they will meet, and before
some 10000 critics. You have my
word for it that Tilden, even
though it will hurt the box office
receipts in other cities, will do all
he can to take Lott 60. Go, 60.
He would rather lose dollar in
Des Moines than a point to Lott
before that crowd. And Lott would
rather have the pony he was play
ing in the third at Tropical get
left at the post, than have Bill
smother him with forehands and
services.
They'l IL both be leveling. Lott
will be in a tough spot, and he
knows it. He has played only a
few matches indoors, Tilden has
played a thousand. Lott, while a
fine singles player, is primarily a
doubles performer, and never saw
the day he could match Tilden in
singles. The only advantage he
has is youth, but Tilden, despite his
40-odd years and two decades of
campaigning, still can play one
match at a terrific pace.
Despite all this, Lott believes he
can take large William. I can It
see him doing it, In fact, if he
takes more than 10 games in the
three sets, he gets $5, not sets
from me.

BOSTON, Jan. 9. (UP)-MaX Baer,
worlds heavyweight boxing cham
pion, told the United Press last
night that he had agreed to fight
some leading heavyweight in a To-

He said he planned to engage in
three similar bouts for Chicago pro-

TOUGH ON THE TOUGHS

A CONVICT who recently emerged from
- Alcatraz prison, where Uncle Sam con-
fines his most vicious criminals. has a hor-
rendouS tale to tell of the plight of poor AL
Capone.
The one-time car of Chicagc'S rackets.
according to this man. is being driven almost
insane by the harsh treatment which is being
meted out to him. Infractions of the rules he
says, are punished by confinement in "the
nole," species of dark and uncomfortable
dungeon. Capone has had a taste of it. and
it's beginning 10 get him down, says the in
formant.
Making due allowances for the exaggeration
with which an ex-convict is apt to speak of his
prison sufferngs-and remembering that the
Alcatraz warden denies this tale of brutal
treatment-one might remark that it would be
hare to think of complaint less likely to stir
the Sympathies of the American people.
The men confined at Alcatraz are not I'M
fortunate first offenders in need of reform.
They are remarkably tough and unpleasant
Jugs all ct them. and if such men as Capone
are getting taste of rough treatment
well. it's J. st too bad.

COMMON SENSE

MUCH more important than any traffic
A'A crusade can ever be is the necessity Of
proper mental attitude on the part of all mo-
florists and pedestrians in indianapolis
For too many years, we have proceeded on
the theory thu. we could drive our automobiles
as fast as we dared. leaving the pedestrian to
look for himself. And the pedestrian, on the
other hand, has followed the idea that luck will
always be with him in his wild dashes across
the city streets.
Automobiles are dangerous vehicles and the
mixture of power and carelessness is one of the
reasons this countys death toll is so high.
Motorists must realize that they are the
pilots of projectiles weighing more than ton,
and pedestrians, for their part, must remem-
Der that an ounce of prevention can save the
family large undertaker's bill.
The sooner we have a more sensible outlook
on automobiles and the value Of human life in
general the sooner will we have streets that
are safe not only for us but for our children.

LUDLOW AMENDMENT ON
WAR is SCORED

BY Mrs. L, Reed.
Are the masses opposed to war?
Do you remember when Wilson
was slurred because ''he wrote an
other note instead of making WARP"
Do you recall with what scorn and
contempt the statement from a
Cabinet member about the scene OF
conflict being 5000 miles away was
received by the press and public?
The prevailing paciflst sentiment
now is that the youth of the coun-
try in 1917 was overpowered in the
adolescent years by the terrible
draft; dubbed into semi-conscious-
ness by the enforcing officers,
dragged from their folks, who were
left in spasms of agony, to weep and
mourn.
There were never more cheerful,
poised, sensible women than the
mothers of the A. E. F. They car
ried on true to the traditions Of
American womanhoOd. There were
those among them whose sons never
returned. 1t is not these who be-
little our government and deride its
defenders.

IF PRESIDENT LEADS
NATION WILL FOLLOW

BY A. w. N.
An Open Letter to President Roose-
welt.
Dear President:
The editor of The Indianapolis
Times has asked us to write to you
as our nations leader and express
to you what we hope the govern
ment will enact in the next crucial
months. The editor says that inim-
ical interests which do not really
represent the nation are speaking to
you, pulling you this way and that
way.
Mr.. President, I believe that the
most important service you can do
to this America and the future
America is to keep this nation from
war. War, the crazy economics and
lustful desire for immense wealth, is
fundamentally the reason for our
present condition. You can bring
back to us an internal sanity only
by keeping us from being involved
in war.
For that reason I wish you would
have legislation enacted taking
away the protection of the United
States forces from American prop
critics in a war zone. I believe that
with your support, the Ludlow bill
requiring a national referendum to
call an aggressive war might be
passed.
believe that naturally conscrip-
ton of wealth and freezing of prices
should go along with the Ludlow
bill
Instead of listening to Postmaster
Farley, Secretary Roper and Dom
aid Richberg, wish you would
listen and act upon the suggestions
of Secretary Wallace, Secretary
Perkins, Senator Wagner, Senator
Nye and other liberals. Your place
is not with big business conserva-
tives. Ultimately they will only trick
you and leave you disillusioned and
bitter, President who could not
make up his mind.
You are faced with the gravest
crisis in your career. Two years ago
a nation filled with renewed hope
stood behind you. You did not stand
behind them in every respect. 1t is
not your fault, because no man has
in his puny power the ability to
keep every promise.
What we want is to hear your
voice firmly commanding one
straight path, throwing aside all the
political and whining supercargo.
We want you to lead. We will follow.
