TILDEN CONTINUES
TO LEAD NETMEN
Veteran, Now AZ Years Old,
Still Playing And Talk
ing Big-Time Tennis
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK, March 7.-R-Ten
years ago Bobby Jones played his
last serious competitive golf. Eight
years ago Jack Dempsey laced on
the gloves for the last time. Five
years ago Babe Ruth hit his last
big league homer.
But William Tatem Tilden II still
is playing and talking big-time
tennis. Either way, with racquet
or with speech, Big Bill remains
able to dominate any gathering.
Yesterday, at a luncheon, he took
charge of the situation and prompt.
ly revised the Finnish relief fund
program to be staged Sunday night
at the list Regiment armory. Be-
cause. of that revision, star billing
on the program will be given to the
match between Tilden and Dor
Bulge, for the best of three sets.
Big Bill is Al years old now. His
hair is even thinner than it was
in 1887, the last time he played in
New York. Yet there are mighty
few who will give you odds that
Big Bill doesn't take at least a set
from Bulge Sunday night, which is
something none of the younger pros
were able to do in the recent Miami
tournament.
They still regard Tilden as one
Of the worlds best when it's q
question of playing a single match.
He can't stand the strain Of pro-
longed tournament play, but he will
have had four days of careful prep
aration for his meeting with Bulge
and that should be enough to make
him dangerously hard to handle.
Big Bill, as always, is outspoken
in his views. Starting with Wilbur
(Junior) Cohen, he has been a not.
ably bad assessor of tennis talent.
Yet that doesn't stop him from pro-
nouncing the following verdicts:
That Don Bulge is the greatest
player he's ever seen.
That Bobby Riggs couldn't have
lived on the same courts with the
beginners of fifteen years ago."
That young Welby van r1oril'
Forest Hills, finalist against Riggs
last September, has "too colossal
an ego for his own good, and that
Don Mcneil, to amount to some
thing, will have to learn that there's
more to tennis than "just closing
your eyes and clouting the ball." ,
Who, then, is the nearest thing
to another Budge-or Tilden? The
old master had a surprise in store.
"Ted Schroeder, the ~1S-year-old
Junior champion from Glendale,
Calf" he said. HE has hitting
power. knows when to use it and
when not to, and has a sound DE-
tense. He's the only n I know OF
with possibilities of true greatness
