Tilden Convinced There

By JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 NANAD-
The professional tennis troupe which
set out this week to tour the coun-
try, the great towns and the middle
sized towns and any whistle stop
which raises a few hundred crullerS
in cash and a tennis court, has many
points Of interest, but its most inter-
esting member is an old ham actor
with thin hair who first saw the
light of day in Grover Cievelands
administration. That is to say, Bill
Tilden.
Top billing in the troupe goes to
Alice Marble, Of the long legs and
sweet, husky voice, who hits a ten
mis- ball harder than any woman in
history and hungers for a career
as a concert singer.
The patriotic hit of the act is Ruth
Mary HardWiCk, a golden-haired girl
from England, who sends most of her
earnings back to the homeland.
The best player in the ShoW-in
the world, for that matter-is John
Donald Bulge. red-haired and
trif1e corpulent I don't know why
Mr.. Bulge is carrying those extra
10 pounds around his middle. SEN

LOS ANGELES. Jan. e.-Basil
James may not win the American
riding championship this year but
he will be aboard the favorites in
the three richest horse races of
the winter season.
James has a pretty nice three
horse parlay to put over. starting
here February r. He will ride Bull
Reigh in the S50O0O Santa Anita
Derby then plane to Miami Fla. to
handle WhirlaWay in the Flamingo
Stakes February %. In the Ken
lucky Derby James will be atop
Whirlaway.
On the basis of what has haD-
pened so far James definitely is the
jockey to beat in those three races.
Considering the way Bull Reioh
handled himself in Santa Anitas
San Felipe Stakes last week. James
has the top horse. WhirlaWav seems
likely to open up the future book
favorite for the Kentucky DERBY.
The Jockeys share of 10 per cent
OF the winnings looks good to James.
Very few jockeys have been able
to score a triple in the big winter
stakes. WAYNE Wright did it in
1886. He won the Florida Swear

with He Did in the Santa Anita
Derby and piloted Top Row in

Venture came to life and spoiled
the dream.
