'TO-DAY,S SPORT PARADE

lights calls for Tilden to play Lott, Stoefen to engage Vines, and a doubles match with Lott and Stoc- fen meeting the other two. Stoe- fens meeting with Vines, right now the finest player in the world, has been bally-hooed 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 Tilden and Tilden can't abide Lott, which makes 1t practically unani- nous. AS amateurs they barely spoke, and when they did it was usually to harpoon the other. It was only a year ago that Tilden said he had never made Lott a professional offer. and never would that he was the type of follow pro tennis definitely did not want.
 Lott is conceited. Tilden is too, and doubled in spades. Lott thinks he knows all there is to know about tennis. Tilden rates his own opin- ion as the only one worth crossing a room to hear. Tonight they will meet, and before some 10000 crit 1cs. You have my word for 1t 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 a dollar in Des Moines than a point to Lott before that crowd. And Lott would rather have the pony he was playing in the third at Trop- ical get left at the post, than have Bill smother him with forehands and services.
 They'll both be leveling. Lott will be in a toguh spot, and ho knows it. He has played only few matches indoors, Tilden has played thousand. Lott, while a fine singles player, is primarily a doubles performer, and never sasw the day he could match Til- den in singles. The only ad- vantage he has is youth, but Til- den, despite his 4O-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't see him doing it. In fact, if he takes more than ten games in the three sets, he gets s5 not sets from me.

{ By HENRY McLEMORE (United Press Stan COPrespOndent,

New York, Jan 9-(UP)-The greatest tennis player of the pas., the best of the present, the finest doubles player since ..ero, and a long-legged gent who might have been tops for all time-past, pres- efit and future--had he chosen to apply himself more diligently, per- form in Madison Square Garden tonight.
 I speak of Messrs Tilden, Vines, Lott and Stoefen. Tonight's en- gagement marks the professional debut of Lott and Stoefen, and the opening of a tour which mill make the annual pilgrimage of Barnum & 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 a town big enough to have tennis court, even fits only one of those homemade affairs with chicken wire back stop, and pitched in Mrs O'Tooles backyard. 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," MT O'Brien said, "even if it renders us uncon- scious."

(By George T. Dillon)

Young Hank" Gagain who worked out with the Philadelphia National League baseball club last summer made his debut wiht the Chase Company basketeers in the Industrial League last night at the Central Y. M. c. A. and looked like real big leaguer, courtIy speaking and was the main cog in Doe" Keanneally's machine which whipped the defending state Industrial League champions, Worden's, 33 to 24, in the main game of doubleheader witnessed by handful of spectators.
 Scores Ten Points
 The Waterville youth, ushered into the fray as the second period got underway as substitute, proved he is 8 regular starter by denting the cords for five field goals many of which came at op- perfume moments and from diffi- cult angles.
 Crichton Hurts Ankle
 Early in the opening quarter Jimmy Crichton, stellar speedy Chase forward, turned on his ankle an aggravated injury, and was forced from the game although he returned in the third period and plyaed better than ever. His sensa- tional one hand hook shot from the side of the court in the first period and his tap into hte hoop after following up long shot in the third canto featured.
 Swasey Handicapped
 Worden's lacked their usual az gressivencss and were somewhat handicapped because Joe Swasey, intrepid pivot man, was nursing a sprained wrist which made him play defensively all evening and his usual offensive strength was sadly missed. The Dairymen's lack of reserve strength also proved telling when Charley Lewis and Jimmy Cream were ushered from the fray via personale.

 Cities In New Set-Up
SpecuIations Current on Possible Reactions in Alp. prOaChing Conventions Mayor Hayes Still Looms
 as Outstanding Figure for New HOnOrs

with democrats in control of three of the four major cities of Connecticut as a result. of yester- days elections in Hartford, Bridge port and New Haven, party leaders today turned their attention to the two democratic state conventions for 1936, the first one to be held in the spring to elect delegates to the national convention and the sec ond one to take place in the fall to nominate candidates for governor and so forth. That the "old guard" will predominate at both conven- tions was the prediction today as 9 result of the comeback staged by the democrats in Hartford yester- day under the leadership of former National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy.
 Local democratic leaders were jubilant today over the victories in Hartford and New Haven, but es- pecially over the success of the party in the Capitol City where 8 republican administration was swept out of office.
 Former National Committeeman Spellacy made 8 comeback that places the "old guard" out in front once more on the eve of the 1886 conventions. Mayor-elect John A.

Student Aid List
 Forwarded Condon
Pupils With Families on Relief to Be Given Preferences
 OnN. Y. A. Program in Waterbury

A list of the names of students from families on relief, compiled by the city welfare department, was received today by Dr. Thomas J. Condon, as the first steps were talk en to put into operation the stu- dent aid program of the MA in Waterbury. Dr. Condon said the list was not yet complete and that more names would be submitted by the welfare department within a day or two.
 These students, Dr. Condon said, must be given preference, although the regulations governing the stu dent aid program have been broad- ened sufficiently to permit assist ance to pupils other than those from relief families. If the quota of 100 allotted to Waterbury is not filled by relief cases, other "de- serving students" will be added to make up the deficit.
 Retains Quota
 The city is apparently in no danger of losing its quota, although a report issued from state head quarters of the MA in New Haven reveals that several communities, among them Bridgeport, will prob- ably lose their entire student allot- ment through failure to take ad- vantage of the opportunity. Dr. Condon said he had heard nothing rom the state office since the an- nouncement short time ago rela- tive to broadening the regulations.

The democratic candidate, Former City Clerk Joseph F. Wieler, re- ceived the low total of 8909.
 Today the boom for McLevy for governor was heard in every section of the state. Yesterday ne not only obtained victory over his demo- cratic and republican opponents but more than doubled his plurality Of two years ago. In the 1883 city elec- tion he won by a plurality Of 6070.
 Balance of Power
 As a result of his victory state leaders of the republican and demo- cratic parties were worried over the strong chances of the socialist party to once more control the balance of power when the 1887 session of the legislature convenes. Democratic and republican programs were torn to pieces during the 1885 session as the three socialist senators from Bridgeport demanded recognition favors for Bridgeport.
 With the socialistic trend greater than ever now in Bridgeport, as shown by yesterdays polling for Mc- Levy, the socialists believe they will again send three senators to the 1887 session to once more bother the otherwise proverbial and somewhat peaceful contests between the dem- ocrats and republicans.
 Furthermore, with his Stupendous vote yesterday, McLevy will without a doubt be the nominee of his par ty for the governorship. With his strong vote-getting ability in the Park City, he will do much to pull along the three socialist senators.
 Last year McLevy was the social

Pilgard of Hartford was given the nomination to head the democratic ticket only after 8 spirited contest with former U. s. Commissioner Frederick Corbett. Pilgard was Att torney Spellacy's choice for the nomination and despite the split in the party ranks at the caucuses the democrats won.
 "Spellocrats" Alive
 Attorney Spellacy immediately, upon receipt of news of the Pilgard victory, issued statement to the effect that "the Spellocrats are still alive"
 New Haven remained democratic under the leadership of Mayor John w. Murphy. There the organization in which ex-Mayor David E. Fitz- gerald plays no small part was swept to victory once more and it was predicted today that the "old guard" would control the delega- tions to the 1886 spring and fall conventions.
 Waterbury's democratic victory of last month was duplicated in New Haven yesterday. It was copied in Hartford. Mayor Frank Hayes of Waterbury, Mayor John w. Murphy of New Haven, Mayor John A. Pil- gard of Hartford-all democrats, will be the picture facing state and national leaders during the 1926 campaign. All three mayors were elected with comfortable margins.

 Splendid Vote
 Yesterday McLevy boiled almost two-thirds of this total in Bridge port, alone, in his quest for reelec- tion to the office of chief executive of the Park City. That he will head 8 stronger socialist party next fall was a fact agreed to by leaders of both the major parties.
 Democratic leaders of this city the state as whole were dum- founded over the bad showing made by the democrats of ridgeport. They dropped into third place in yester- days polling, taking the place held by the republicans in the election two years ago. While republican leaders were concerned over the poor showing of their g.o.p. ticket the democratic leaders were fully aware of the fact that they must do considerable building-up before a year hence if the democratic candi- dates on the state ticket are to look for any kind of support from the largest city in Fairfield county.
