NEW YORK, March "a. W.P)-The
circus in the Hippodrome had just
reached the exciting stage where
four lady elephants waltz on bar
rels when someone said hello to
me and it was Ellsworth Vines, a
fellow who, at the last count, was
the best tennis player in the world.
Now. there are few sights which
intrigue me more than that OF
lady elephants waltzing, but story
is a story so l turned my back on
the Irene Castles of the jungle and
began 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 a bit of information from
Ellsworth, including his opinion OF
what Fred Perry will do to William
T. CT" as in Methusaleh) Tilden
in their match at Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Perry 'oughta kill him." Ellsworth
said with one eye on the lady ele-
plants. It beat Bill nineteen out
of twenty times I played him. and
the best I've done with Fred so far
is something like eighteen out of
thirty-five. I've bet $50 against
so that Perry wins, and even money
that it doesn't go five sets. And

If any of you sinners want to
bet on the match tonight I urge
that you follow Vines tip, because
Ellsworth has absolutely no repu-
tation as a spendthrift. He's got a
great one to give odds. In fact,
I doubt If he would lay you much
better than 4 to l that tomorrow

Vines explains that he did not
mean to be cruel to Tilden. That
his opinion was not mean as dis
paragement.
when Bill was young" Els
worth said, there never lived a
player who beat him. And doubt
if tennis 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 'em. You know,
Bill never has said a nice word
about Fred. The nearest he ever
came to paying him a compliment
was when he said Perry was the
best player of lousy lot"

BATTLES
END SCHEDULE
IN Ell CENTRO

Commercial league cagers will
make their final appearance on the
FL Centro court tonight when the
league leading Golden State will
tangle with I. V. Hardware in the
first game and the 20-30 club and
Bachelors meet in the second tilt.
The Hardware five will take the
floor against the Golden Staters at
7:3O tonight determined to upset the
league leaders and thwart their
hopes for undiSputed possession of
the league crown.
Stellar passing, brilliant floor
work and fine defensive play has
characterized the Hardware quin-
tet this season but the inability
to hit the basket consistently has
cost the I V. many games.
Tonight, however, with Lambeth,
ScrogginS, Smith, Thomas and
Young on the roster the Hardware
may be able to turn in a surprise
victory.
The 20-30 club, resting in second
place one game behind the But
termakers, is expected to encounter
lot of trouble when the Bache-
lors unleash their newly found Of
fense.
A win for the 20-30 will hold
their chance for first place tie
but a loss will drop them from
any hopes for a championship.

Yet, in that Slight stature, there
is more worry or, woe for opposing
pitchers and their supporting casts
than might be feared from the
average 200-pounder. Little Poi
son." as he is called, is a pest to
opponents. When he does sock
the ball cleanly to safe territory,
he frequently hits high bounders
or slow rollers to the infield, and
getting the pellet to first base
ahead of him is a staggering task,
because of his speed.
Rarely since the days of the
immortal Willie Keeler has a little
fellow been such a power on at
tack as the younger Waner For 10
major league seasons, Lloyd boasts
a grand batting average of 1923,

BUFFALO, N Y, February IL
An excited young housewife reported
to police late yesterday that she had
just fought off an aSsailant who re-
sembled the man sought as the slayer
Of Mary Ellen Babcock, 18.
Her report startled this city, where
tension has been high, while police
have staged drastic house-to-house
manhunt for the man who stabbed
the Babcock girl to death and left
her body in a field last Friday night.
Fought for Is Minutes.
Mrs. Joseph Zwicknagel, 20, her
dress torn and her arms scratched,
told detectives she had fought for is
minutes with a "glassy-eyed" man
who entered her home yesterday
afternoon.
He fed through the back door when
some one rang the front door bell,
she said.
Mrs. Zwicknagel'S home is in East
Buffalo, about 2 miles from the South
Buffalo field in which Miss Babcocks
body was found last Saturday.
Suspect Released.
Soon after Mrs. zwicknagel made
her report, detective fired two shots
TO stop a suspect in an East Buffalo
street. The man was taken to the
Genesee street police station, but was
released when Mrs. Zwicknagel said
he was not her aSsailant.
The attack on Mrs Zwicknagel oc-
Cured as police were concluding a
house-to- house canvass in South Buff
falo for the slayer of Miss Babcock.
He is believed to have tell-tale
scratches on his face, for Miss Bab-
cocks flngernails contained shreds of
human flesh.
