reach right up and snatch a phrase from the air. at opposite ends of the poles on the subject. Richards believes that an open championship. with pros and amateurs meeting for the worlds title, is but two years away at the most. Tilden thinks Richards a bit balmy on the matter, and will bet you money (or its equivalent) that such a tournament never will be held. Speaking for the negative side, Tilden advanced these reasons: AU amateur tournaments, save those which are used as a means of publicity for some seaside or mountain restort. are conducted for gain— financial gain. Wimbledon. Forest Hills. Longwood, Germantown. Seabright, and all the state and sectional ones. The men who operate them appreciate to the fullest the beautiful set up of amateur tennis —a set-up where the workmen work for nothing, or something mighty close to it. And they are not going to split the intake, all of which goes to their clubs now. with the professionals. Tilden named Wimbledon as the finest example of the amateur tennis set-up. Year after year Wimbledon reaps a golden harvest from the efforts of the volunteer talent, and the very word “professional’’ is an anatema. Big Bill pointed out that Wimbledon officials, once he turned pro. refused to allow him to even practice on their most distant clay court. And treated Henri Cochet the same way, despite the fact tnat between them. Bill and Henri drew fully half a million dollars through the gates as amateurs. Richards agreed with Tilden concerning Wimbledon, but believed the club would make a rapid descent from its high horse this year wnen England loses the Davis cup. "We would have had an open tournament before this,” Richards argued, “if Britain, the cup-holding nation, hadn’t held out against it. With the trophy in their possession, the English knew that amateur tennis would draw well. But now that it’s gone, and there is little hope of immediate recovery, they will be anxious to join a movement which will guarantee packed stands. You wait and see." • —— Decatur.

To this argument Tilden had a very pregnant answer. “I don't think England will make an about-face,” Bill said, "but even if it does, what about the nation which takes the cup away from the dear little island? Say Germany wins it, which 1 think it will. Do you think the German association, with the precious trophy in its grasp for the first time, is going to lie willing to listen to the call of the professionals? No, they won’t. And if America wins it—well. Vinnie, you know the dear old American amateur patriarchs as well as I do. Well, maybe not quite so well, but almost.” Richards believes professional tennis, to become a permanent and healthy thing, must have a czar, such as baseball’s Landis, who can heal the wound between the teaching pros and the exhibition play ing pros. A czar—and an open championship —he believes, would give tennis the vitality it so badly needs. r-WCTi - Last Time Tonight - Delightful Comedy Romance! “LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD” Jane Wyatt.
