HI Jaws Sup

the cup through my action, but be-
lieve I'm entitled to cash in on my
tennis while the cashing is good.
Donald Bulge gave me none too
gentle hint at Forest Hills last fall
that it would not be long now.
I have never anticipated with
greater interest any series of
matches than those I am now hav-
ing with Ellsworth Vines. We met
several times when we both were
amateurs and had close fights on
every occasion.
Since Ellie turned pro three years
ago we haven't played officially but
I know he has improved tremen-
dously. But I've been keeping my
hand i'm as much as possible and
hope to give him good fight. The
canvas court used on our tour is
entirely new to me and will be a
considerable handicap till become
familiar with it. It's quite different
from grass, clay or the cement sur
face I've been practicing on.
I'm going to get big kick out of
opposing Tilden in doubles, as well
as facing Vines in singles. In my
younger days in England I stood in
awe of Big Bill and still have a
wholesome respect for his game.
But with George Lott, one of the
finest doubles players of all time,
as my partner I'll take the court
against Tilden and Vines more con-
fdently than could hope to other
wise.
/ have been asked how my de-
cisiOn to enter the professional
ranks was received in England. Not
having been there since my status
changed have no first-hand knOwl-
edge of the reaction but, judging
from reports, 1 think most British
sports followers approve of the step
1 have taken and realize it was the
only logical one for me.
One of these days, as Rene La
Coste used to say, there will be no
amateurs and professionals - just
tennis players. Open tournaments
are bound to come, but nobody can
tell when.
Well, cheerio!
A majority of leading American
golf professionals feel that the new
fourteen club limit will prove no
hindrance to their play when the
rule takes effect next January l. +. =.
They plan to use as many clubs
as they have in the past in pre-
tournament practice rounds and
then select the fourteen clubs they
judge best adapted to each course
when the tournament proper begins.

DETE REILLY. the ceIehrat.


pETE REILLY, the celebrated
prizefight manager, can name
every bone in the human body, and
will do so upon the slightest provo
cation. Harvard friends insist
that Charley Devens would like to
return to professional baseball, but
that his ultra-social kin keep urg-
ing the former Yankee pitcher to
stick to his SIS a week bank job.

Dissension among the Toronto
Maple Leafs now is reported to have
spread to the front office, with Man.
ager Connie Smythe skating on very
thin ice. Among those not speak
ing are Smythe and Chuck Con-
acher, the burly right wing. Bob
McDermott, star of the touring
Celtics basketball team, recently
achieved twenty-eight field goals in
one game. Jesse Moss, former
Columbia oarsman and brother of
the eminent sports poet, Morton
Voss, now is an assistant Federal
District attorney. The favorite

the latest bid and the lady skaters

Brown alumni gossip that the real
reason why their alma mater has
failed so dismally in football during
the past three years is fraternity
politics. Coach McLaughry told
alumni that the 1886 material theO-
retically was the best in ten years.
But, after a season of intra-mural
bitterness, the peak was reached in
December when, for the first time
in history, the players were unable
to agree on captain. Three sep
arate elections (several ballots be-
ing taken during each of them)
failed to break the deadlock. i.
Jim Hearn, st. Peters high basket
ball ace, is the third brother in a
famous New Brunswick athletic
family. The others are Mike, Ford

Jackie, who performs notable
deeds as st. Benedict's high eager.
Richard C. Burritt, executive di-
rector of the New York Convention
and Visitors bureau, is deep in
plans for an Exposition Hall to be
located on Columbus Circle and to
be twice as large as Madison
Square Garden. Marty Forkins,
the Broadway booking agent who
manages Jesse Owens, was a first
class pilot of prize fighters thirty
years ago. Andy Varipapa, the
trick shot artist, who is certain to
grab some of that $4,000 prize
money in the American Bowling
Congress tournament in Syracuse
next spring, achieved his first sports
prominence as a boxer and base
ball player.

the case, he answered with abrupt
monosyllables, usually word of mega

able to answer by quoting a few words

took pleasure in being able to do that.
But he obviously felt relief when an
end came to the questions about Mr..

addressed to Mr.. Black in London.
And what the statement says to Mr..
Black is, ''You come across with one of

resignation"
Not that Mr.. Roosevelt can demand
resignation from Mr.. Black. Mr..
Black has been duly appointed and
confirmed. The fact that he has not
yet been sworn in makes no difference.
Mr.. Roosevelt can no more demand
resignation from Mr.. Black than he
can demand one from Chief Justice
Hughes. But If Mr.. Roosevelt. and
the New Deal crowd, make it plain
to Mr.. Black that he could save the
situation In part by resigning, DOS
