(U.R) Ellswjith Vine, former national singles tennis champion, has deserted the amateur ranks to become the family breadwinner. That was hi- explanation today of his action in signing with William T. Tilden as a professional player. "My mother has been working in a department store here for years to earn enough to support me." Vines declared. "It was n t until a year or two ago that 1 was able to earn enough money to help the family. Now 1 feel that it is time for her to take a long rest while 1 ain the family wage earner." Althongh the slim young star demurred at revealing salary terms, friends set his potential earnings at $75,000 during the next year.

Vines said he would give lessons and tighten up on his own game before leaving for New York in December. Vines will support his mother, Mrs. Caroline L. Vines, his wife and a younger brother, Edward, a high school student.
