New York, March 25--(UP) -One
word description of the Tilden-Perry
tennis match in Madison Square
Garden: Slaughter
Two word description Of same
match: More Slaughterl
Summary Of same match: Perry
beat hell out Of Bill!
Question: How did Bill manage to
win that third set, Ga?
Answer: McLemore, Of pal, you
got me there. I don't believe I'll
ever know the answer to that one,
even II I live to be 500, and have
more rings than q redwood tree. And
I wasn't the only one bewildered BY
the sudden switch in fortunes in the
middle Of the third set. Even little
children, with eyes far less discern
ing than mine, questioned their par
entS as to what had happened.
Funny STUFF
Sitting near me was q brown
eyed youngster no higher than a
half.volley, ant when Tilden made
It Ga he turned TO his right and
paternal side and said Daddy, isn't
that funny"
Eyes, Luther" the father replied,
sit certainly iS."
Luther, ] don't know you from
Adams housecat, but want to tell
you that you have o truthful father.
That third set certainly was funny.
And It was made ftnnier by the fact
that Perry, playing brilliantly, had
swept the first two sets with the loss
OF but four games. Tilden, with only
his niannerisrnS to remind the big
crowd that he was the same Tilden
who once ruled all the courts Of the
earth. was helpless in the fact Of
Perry's relentless attack.
The Briton started the third set
with just rs ruthless tennis, and be-
fore you could wash your ears,
Luther, had q lead Of 40. People
began pouring through the exits, be-
neving 1t was matter Of minutes
until Perry would finish II. They
not only wanted to beat the rest
Of the folk to the taxis, Luther, they
wanted to miss the unhappy finish
Of once mighty performer. It wasn't
much fun to look at, was It Luther?
I mean Big Bill, the one and only
Big Bill, being made ridiculous by
q boy he once could have spotted q
set.
Comeback
I wonder what allied Perry,
Luther? Must have been something
very serious, because 1t paralyzed
him all over, and 80 very quickly.
Yet, IL couldn't have been TOO Sc

rious, because he recovered COM
pletely during the ten minute rest
period, and came dashing out for
the fourth set to win It 60. I've
seen many athletic events, Luther,
but never before have I seen an
athlete 90 from the superb to the
ridiculous and back to the superb
on such short notice. That coach
Of his must have given him a STIR
ring talk IN the dressing room or
q shot Of something more powerful
than anything I have ever consumed,
Luther, and that takes in a lot Of
powerful things.
Maybe their match in Chicago
won't be so lopsided, Luther. Perry
won't be as good as he was last
night, because he was perfect then,
and perfection doesn't come every
day in the week. And Tilden GER
tainly won't be any worse. His back
hand was so bad he would have done
better to leave 1t at home and bring
waste paper basket. At least he
could have sat down on the basket
between games. Don't you think so,
Luther?

|CLAPPER CASE.

|BREAK UP BRUINS
Referee Was Punched By

Boston, March 26-(UP)-Their

Bruins resume their second-place
playoff feud with Montreals Ma.
rauding Maroons tonight In q des-
perate bid to remain In the chase
for the Stanley Cup, emblematic Of
World Hockey Supremacy.
As battle lines were drawn, q
vital decision was awaited from
league presidnet Frank Calder In
the case Of Referee Clarence Camp
bell versus Aubrey Victor (Dit) Clap
per, bruiSing Boston right-winger.
Referee Sw0re
Clapper, the handsome brute In
the No. 5 Jersey, is the guy who
swung q right to Campbell's jaw
In Montreal as the Maroons cap
tured tht opening game Al, The de-
tense charges the sock was de-
livered after Campbell called Clap
per a seven-letter name (and the
name wasn't "Clapper").
It was feared In some quarters
that Claprer would be ruled off the
ice for the rest Of the series. But
that isn't likely.
Dit will present his side Of the
case to Calder by telephone some
time before noon. Then Calder
very likely will impose a fine and
call the incident closed book.
Manager Art Ross Of the Bruins
insisted however, that If Clapper
should be suspended there will be
no game" That's pretty sound
reasoning because II the Bruins have
to play without Clapper, they might
Just as well forfeit the game.
A defeat for the Bruins means
they again will have to toss their
Stanley Cup aspirations into the
ash-can, because In the preliminary
series it's two losses and you're out.
Boston will have the advantage
Of playing on home ice--if that may
be called and advantage. Should a
third game be necessary, that too
will be played here--Sunday night.
Going Strong
The Bruins however, are up
against a team that is riding the
crest of sensational string of
seven victories in the last eight
starts. These Maroons are a hard
bitten lot, especially when they hit
pay dirt. They proved that Tuesday
when they took everything the
Bruins handed out and retaliated In
kind.
Despite the terrific battering they
absorbed in the first game, both
clubs came through unusually well
from physical standpoint.
Feelings and silks were high in
the opener. And this one promises
to be no different, except that there
isn't a chance the Clapper-Cam
bell feud will be renewed. Clarence
won't be around for this one. Under
the rotating system, therell be a
different set of whistle tooters.

Beverage Bowling
League

The powerhouse Gin team, led
by Capt. Fred Delaney's $50 and
Mike Daley,s 348, took three easy
games away from the minus Maher
Beers and thereby went two more
games ahead Of the new second
place Cider team. The Gins now
hold q comfortable lead OF four
games over the elders. The Beers op-
position was composed mostly OF
Green's 1886 and Nelson's. 1913.
The Whistles advanced them
selves to fourth place by trouncing
the elders in two games. Jack
Slattery $50, Galullo 1871 and Nc
earthly 1875 were the big gunners
for the winners while Kenendy 1927
and J. N. Delaney 3l8 topped the
losers.
The Champagnes were mighty
lucky to win their three games
against the badly crippled Brandies.
Their advantage In the second game
was only one pin and In the third
was five pins. Captain Bill MORT
arty starred for the Champegnes
with 1853 while Bowen's 1854 for the
Brandies set a new high three rec
ord In the fourth division, beating
out J. B. Delaney's high Of 1856.
In addition to Bowen's fine score,
Montory rolled $3.50 for the Brandies.
The Wines won three games at
the expense Of the Cognacs as
Schoeck wound up with splendid
100 game to lead the winners with
a 308. Pat Slattery followed suit
with 304 and Ray Gordon 302. For
the losers, Stafstrom had 80 and
Jones 304. With a full team, we be-
lieve the "Cogs" would have had
no difficulty In winning at least
the first two games inasmuch as
they tied the first but lost In the
two box roll-off, and then lost the
second by only ten pins.
The leading Gins roll the third
place ChampagneS this week and
then follow up with the rough and
tough Whistles and the potential
rough and tough Brandies in the
two succeeding weeks. If they can
wade through thsi opposition with
not too much damage, you can hail
them as the champions of the 1886
1887 season. They roll the Wines
on the last night. but they are not
worrying about that.

Pawtucket, r. l., March "A. =
Billy Royal Neal, Americas leading

the Spring Meeting which opens

Besides facing the strongest COM

tice allowance as he loses his bug"
one week before Narragansett
opens.
Billy Neal was born In Salem,
Oregon, on April 6, 1918. His de-
cision to become jockey was noth-
ing new to his family as five other
members had followed the same
profession, Evan, Elmer, Dan, Har-
old and Oliver Neal, all having won
at various American tracks. Billy,
however, is the most illustrious.
Nice Work
A scrapping, earnest youngster,
Billy scored his first victory with
cheap plaster, Sun Idol, at Arl-
ington Downs, on April "a, 1885.
He registered "a more before the
advent of 1887. His 1886 record
included IS wins, 81 seconds, 20
thirds and $57,232 in purses. HIS
winning percentage was rs.
Meals 1887 record is far more Inn
pressive. At Alamo Downs he
scored approximately 10 victories in
Al days Of racing. He has conti1-
ued to head the field home at Hot
Springs and is now leading B. James,
last years leading jockey, by nearly
30 wins. His record from January
/ to March 81, inclusive, Is 70 wins,
SO seconds and 40 thirds for an
astounding percentage of rs.

Bill Meals engagements ara
handled by his father, Roy, who has
informed Racing Secretary Pat Hor-
gan that the youngster will be asso-
ciated with one of the leading West
ern stables now preparing to en-
train for Narragansett.
Especially adept at handling bad
acting thoroughbredS, Neal has also
appeared at home both in sprint and
distance races. His addition to the
Narragansett jockey colony should
assure a renewal Of the thrilling
leading jockey" contests which
have featured every meeting here.
