Today's Sport
 Parade

 United Press Stan Correspondent

New York, March 24.-UP)-The circus in the eHippodrome had just reached the 8exciting stage where four lady elephants waltz on bar rels when someone said hello to me and 1t was Ellsworth vines, a fell low who, at the last couat, was the best tennis player in ti1e world.
 Now, there are few sights which intrigue, me more than that of lady elephants waltzing,. but a story is a story so I, turned my back on the Irene Castles of the jungle and be- gan talking tennis. By the time the poodle dog which holds the worlds record for walking on its hind legs (time and distance) came on half an hour later, had gath- cred quite 8 bit of information from Ellsworth, including his opinion of what Fred Perry will do to William T. CT" as in Methuselah) Tilden in their match at Madison Square Garden tonight.
 Perry oughta kill him." Ellsworth said with. one eye on the lady ele- plants. 1T beat Bill nineteen out of the twenty times I played him, and the best I've done with Fred so far is something like eighteen out of thirty-flve. I've bet 150 against 50 that Perry wins, and even money that it doesn't go five sets. And I've got another bet with Winnie Rich- ards. Fifty that Bruce Barnes ticks him in singles"
 If any of you sinners want to bet on the match tonight urge that you follow Vines tip, because Ells- worth has absolutely no reputation as spendthrift. He's not great one to give odds. In fact, doubt If he would lay you much better than 4 to that tomorrow will be Thursday.
 Vines explained that he did not mean to be cruel to Tilden. That his opinion was not meant as dis arrangement.
 "When Bill was young" Ellsworth said, "there never lived a player who could beat him. And I doubt if ten- his ever will see his equal. But he's A now and that's a hell of an age for top tennis. I tell you this if he does beat Perry it'll be the greatest victory he ever scored. And Perry probably will catch a boat for Siam, because if there is one thing Fred doesn't like Tilden is both of 'ern. You know, Bill never has said nice word about Fred. The near est he ever came to paying him a compliment was when he said Perry was the best player of lousy lot"
 We halted our conversation to watch 24 ponies do what 24 ponies always do in a circus. Then I men, toned the subject of an open ten- his championship.
 Tt looks long way off," Vines answered. "The U. s. L. T. A. just doesn't want any part of one. Il makes me laugh, though, to hear the amateur big shots saying they can't have one until they get permission from the international tennis body. Nuts! The United States associa- ton could have one anytime they wanted 1t. Can you imagine the international boys kicking the United States out of the Davis cup or forbidding our amateurs from playing in Europe. Without the United States the Davis cup would be a joke"
 Did he believe the U. s. L. T. As objections to an open tournament were based on the fear the pros

CONTINENTAL PLANT
BUSINESS
Nursery Company at Kittrell
Serves This and Many
Other States

The Continental Plant Company
within the past year or two has shown
signs of regaining the prestige it en-
joyed in former years as the depres-
sion passes and the demand for It's
products is increasing.
The company OpeI ates one of the
largest nurseries in North Carolina
and the southeast. It owns and Gull
tivates more than 100 acres at Kit
trell, where it's business is carried on
by selling direct to customers at home
and at a distance. The volume is build
ing up rapidly and additional acres
are being added to cultivation from
year to year.
Fruit trees of nearly all kinds,
shrubs, shade trees and nursery pro-
ducts in general are grown and ship
ped, or delivered in person to ship
pers. A delivery service is maintained
for the service of customers in Hen
derson and with the reach of motor
delivery. A feature of the nursery's
activities at the present time is the
cultivation of ornamental trees of
evergreens of many varieties.
The entire stock has lately been
inspected, according to State law, by
official State entomologists and has
been pronounced free of diseases and
pests. 1t is thus qualified for ship
ment into any territory.
Much of the stock can be seen from
the highway, as the national high
way, Route 1, runs directly through
the broad acres that are in cultiva-
ton. It's stock is adapted to the
climate in this and many other sec
lions.
Henderson residents are invited to
drive out and inspect the plants grow
ing in the fields, and there to make
selections for their gardens or yards.
They have the advantage of being
able to buy plants fresh and then to
reset them at home without any long
delays. Plants in almost any size de-
sired are available.
In the employ of the company are
men who have i.een with the Organi-
cation more than 80 years, and who
are in every sense of the word ex-
perienced and capable of carrying on
the work of a modern nursery. They
are familiar with pruning and spray
ing operations and offer this service
in this immediate section.
G. M Hight is the president and
manager of the company and gives
his entire time to its development
A. c. Husketh is vice-president. Miss
Lucille Ellis, prominent Kittrell lady,
is secretary-treasurer in the company,
as is Miss Mildred Furvis, who for
merly was the active manager and
