ALICE MARBLE ON $5O,OOO
 TENNIS TOUR
Hopes to Become Concert Singer; Budge, Tilden,
 HardwiCk to Play
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)

New York, Jan. 6-UP)-Alice says goodbye to wonderland-the wonderland of amateur tennis with its pompouS badge wearerS and it's bloated expense accounts-when she steps on the canvas court at Mad ison Square Garden tonight and starts a professional tuor that may earn her $50,000.
 A great upporting cast has been assembled to aid and abet the pro- | feSSional debut of Miss Marble. Her opponent will be Mary Hardwick, the steady, sturdy English girl who plays good game of tennis but one that is several notches below that of Miss Marble. In addition, there will be Don Budge, the red -hiared wizard who is the best in the bus mess, and that great snowman, Big Bill Tilden, who is still hitting and chasing tennis balls as he approach es his 48th birthday.
 Here is the schedule for the eve- ming:
 Miss Marble -vs. Miss Hardwick two out of three sets.
 Budge vs. Tilden, three out of five sets.
 Marble and Tilden vs. Hardwick and Buoge, two out of three sets.
 The first mach starts at 8:3O D. m.,- but the best one probably will be the last-the mixed doubles. Budge has an edge over Tilden and Miss Marble is better than Miss HardW1ck, so it looks like flip-a- coin proposition.
 Stranded
 Tonight marks Miss HardWick,s first venture as a professional. but the English girl has largely been overlooked in the publicity over Miss Marble. She is ore of the members of the British Wightman Cup team stranded in this country when the war broke out a year ago last autumn.
 Miss Hardwick went to the semi finals in the National Women's singles at Forest Hills, losing to Helen Jacobs. She will accompany MISS Marble and Budge and Tilden on the tour that will carry them across the country and back,
 MISS Marble, peer of all women playing tennis now and considered Dy some critics to be even better than Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills, leaves great amateur record. Despite the fact that her career was interrupted by a two-year ill., ness at the time she~Was touching the peaks, she came back to com petition and established herself su- preme on the international courts. In 1889 she won every important tenlS title poen to a woman-sln- gleS, doubles and mixed doubles at Wimbledon and Forest Hills.
 Wants To Sing
 50 there are no more amateur worlds to conquer, but the chief req son she is turning professional is that she wants to earn enough money to further her career as concert singer. She has geen taking lessons for several years and be- lieyes that the $5O,0OO is what she needs to train her voice.
 All the contestants have been practlclng here and are in good con- oltlon. Tilden, cocky and confident as ever, is still capable of playing ohstering tennis for set or two and Budge may find that he has a real Job on his hands when hetakes the court against the old maestro.

WEST SIDES LOSE
 DOUBLE OVERTIME GO

Just when they were well on the comeback trail, West Side Speedboys bumped into bunch of sharpsYioot- CTS from New Britain, the Emeralds by name, and though the local lads put up a grand try, were 38-44 losers after two periods of overtime play yesterday afternoon at the central YMCA. Tonight, the Siders go to Hartford to meet the Gems in a state league game which is tough CT hurdle for them than New Brit ain proved to be.
 The visitors, showing Vic Bay lock, Kresge and Capodice, got off to fast start, gained 16 to II lead at half time but were caught in the third period, needing an overtime session, when the teams were still even at the enc of the fourth per- 1od, Stollar and French doing Stel- lar work for the Siders, with g points between them, Joe Runiyidge getting more. Baylock, Kresge and Capod1ce got just 30 of the winners A points, while the Waterbury lads blew" g of 13 free throws as New Britain gained of 15 penalty losses TOT points. Summary:

TERRYVILLE SPORTS

Terryville, Jan. = Playing be- fore $50 fans, Terryville St. Casi- mfrs Girls won their third straight victory last night defeating the Manchester Girls in a State Polish League contest, 14-10, in St. Casi- mfrs hall.
 In the main attraction St. Casi- mfrs boys team went down to de- feat at the hands of the powerful Manchester boys 42-38 in contest that had the fans on the seats throughout.

 In spite of the fact that the league is one of the strongest in the state, attendance has been far from satisfactory and unless it picks up it is feared the league will fold up During the three wekS the league has been operating, 1t has failed to make expenses.

TORONTO LEAFS
 TIEDBY REDWINCS
By United Press

The Detroit Red Wings climbed into tie for first place in the Ma tional Hockey League Sunday night by trouncing the Montreal Canadiens 80 while the leading Toronto Maple Leafs were idle.

l with Jock Hutchinson and Jock licked Roger in the playoff.
 In this same Los Angeles Open tournament in 1929 Eddie Loos threw away the title and the dough by playing the wrong ball. On the Fist hole, Loos, with the title in his grasp played magnificent shot from the rough. The crowd gathered around the green cheered wildly when the ball orlled to within two inches of the cup. All smiles, Loos walked up to the ball to sink the tiny putt 'and then staggered as if someone had Whacked him over the head with a braSsie. Because as he started to putt he saw this stencilled on the ball: Walter Hagen" Loos had played the Haig's ball and the two stroke penalty gave Ed Dudley the title.
 And there was Oliver at the Ma tional Open last year at Cleveland. He would have been in the playoff for the title with Sarazen and Little AAdA AAO INV oOd4 bCN 1lLo 1l11d1 before the time assigned him by the tournament committee. He was dis qualified and all his bitter tears in the locker room could not move the officials to forgive him.
 Sportsman
 Even the great Bob Jones missed an open tournament through care lessness. In 1925 at Worcester he moved his ball while addressing it in the rough. No one saw it move but Bob, the sportsman that he is, reported to the scorer and an extra stroke was tackled on his score. That one shot threw him into a tie with Willie McFarlane and Willie licked Robot Robert in the playoff.
 The chances are that Craig Wood would have won the National Open at Merton in 1884 but fore careless ness. Playing superby, Craig was go- Ing great guns when he played the wrong ball from the rough. Not knowing that a change in the rules made such a mistake punishable by a two stroke penalty, he found his own ball and played in on discover Ing hlS error, and turned in his score for the hole as four. He was disqual- flied for turning in an incorrect score and Olin Dutra went on to win. Craig thought the old rule-the one which said there was no penalty for playing the wrong ball if only one shot was made before the error was dlscovered-was still in operation.
 Maybe the old golf maxim of keep your eye on the ball. should be changed to keep your eye on YOUR OWN BALL"

now he didn't leave Alabama when he had an inviting chance to do so twelve months ago. It isn't general ly known but the old Notre Damer had first call on the Brooklyn Dodgers job which finally went to Jock Sutherland. AS it turned out of course, the Dodgers couldn't have done better. Thomas had agreed to terms, was all packed to fly here to sign three year contract and then suddenly changed his mind. Now they are saying he's looking around for another place to park his cha peau. Our ignorance concerning the ASCAP and BMI controversy is profound but we'd wager the RAF can whip them both.

Los Angles, January 6-(UP) = Johnny Bulla now belongs to that distinguished organization whose membership is limited to those golf players who blew a chance for fame and fortune by an act of ineXcusa- ble careleSsness.
 He now knows the password and secret grip of the club that lists among its members such men as Bobby Jones, Craig Wood, Roger Wethered, Eddie LooS, and E. Oli- yer.
 Bulla became a member in good standing yesterday when he played the wrong ball on the first fairWay in the third round of the Los An gles $1O,0OO open golf champion ship. With admirable nonchalance but questionable judgment, he stepped up to the ball of Harold (Jug) McSpaden, who was playing in threesome with him, and snote it toward the green.
 That shot cost him two strikes penalty, the 54-hole lead, and probably will knock him out of first prize money of $3,500. With golf competition as keen as it is today, fellows who throw away two strokes just don't win.
 Not First BOnr
 The only consolation Johnny can gain is from the fact that his is nos the first bonehead play to be made by member of his profession. Roger Wethered, brother of the famed Joyce, lost the daddy of all golf tour naments, the British Open, by care lessness in 1921. In looking for his ball in the rough Roger stepped on it and was penalized shot. That threw him into a tie for the title

 S1O,OOQ TEST
Wild Scramble for $3,5OO Golf Prize at Los
 Angeles
BY ED CoNKLIN

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Los Angeles, Jan. 6.-(UP)-Jim- my Thomson and Johnny Bulla, a pair of powerhouse hitters, match brawn and wits today down the final rain-soaked lap of the $l0,000 Los Angeles Open golf tournament.
 Thomson blasted his way through the semi-final round over the long and treacherous Riviera Country Club course for a par Il. His perfect score gave him N 54-hole aggregate of 211, which crfSsbles him to tee of today one strokl better than Bulla.
 It might have A.een another story had not Bulla hit Harold (Jug) Mc- Spaden's ball on the first hole yes- terday. He finished with a 75, but coupled with a 66 the previous day, it was enough to keep him in second position.
 Bunched Up
 Close behind Thomson and Bulla, so close, in fact, that anyone could win $3,50O first prize money if the two leaders faltered, were six of the nations best pros, all sluggers for whom the 7,GO0-yard course was made to order.
 Willie Goggin, of Miami, whose 68 gave him low money yesterday, and Denny Shute of West Newton, Mass, were bracketed at 213. Clayton Heaf- her, of Neville, N. C., and Ben Hogan of White Plains, N. Y, were tied at 214. Lawson Little, the National Ipen king who captured the title last year, was bracketed with Craig Wood at 215, after muffing a chance to pressure the leaders.
 Little knifed the 18th fairway with 6 pair of beautiful wood shots and clipped on three feet from the pin. But the iron putting that gave him his long-shot triumph last year col lapsed and it required 8 disastrous three putt to get down.

Crosby And WiLby On Edge For First Clash
LOCAL RIVALS FIGURE TO SHOW
 HOOP THRILLER
Wildcats Win Over Leav= enwOrth 3l=2O; Crosby
 in Meriderl

By the time Saturday night arr rives, the first of two 1941 Crosby Wilby basketball games should be several shades better than a "hum- dinger". Over last week -end, Crosby dropped photo finish game to Tor rington and goes to Meriden tomor- row night, where the Schofield squad should get back into the win column, having already beaten the Silver City lads.
 Wilby winner of six straight games, and yet unbeaten, goes to the post at Bridgeport Wednesday night against Warren Harding which is fairly soft touch for most of the valley teams this year, the indication being that Wilby should make it seven straight on the Hard ing floor. The Presidents, once a basketball power in the state have given over to BaSsick high down Bridgeport way.
 Leavenworth has a game pending with Middletown for Wednesday night of this week, according to the Tech schedulee.
 LeavenwOrth Loses
 Though there was quite a differ ence in the score of the Wilby. Leavenworth game, the contests did not lack for action, as IT points were made by the teams on free throws with considerable rough play in evidence, Caisse and Dalton be- ing warned for mixing little foot kall with their ideas of the hoop game. Wilby led, II to 6 at half time, as Tech had but points going into the final heat, but picked up 12 markers in busy fourth period. For Wilby, Captain Bill Kalosky was high scorer once again with 10 points.
 Wilby Reserves won a g to 1e preliminary game.
