Simon-Pure Officials Appear To Be Fall Guys for Pro Promoters.
(Joe Williams Is on Vacation)
By JAMES A. BURCHARD Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 4—The 1936 amateur tennis rankings merely serve to'emphasize the fact that the U. S. L. T. A. has become a farm
team for the big league of professionalism. Where a few years ago the court kings were satisfied with a few whirls at Davis Cup campaigning and a leisurely life on the invita-tion-tournament circuit, they now strive for amateur glory so they can turn it into cold cash. : As a result, simon-pure tennis officials are the fall guys for the pro promoters. It causes them no end of anguish. They are deeply wounded to think their star pupils should tire of pouring money into the amateur coffers and attempt to divert the golden flow into their own pockets.

Show Lack of Class |
With so many prize performers in | the professional field, the newly announced amateur rankings show a decided lack of class. The men’s! first 10 in particular is a shock to! ihe expert eye. It includes several | members who. couldn’t have come | within shouting distance of the elite circle .a few years back. The boys were talking it over at | the Heights Casino in Brooklyn last night. They were gathered there to watch Ellsworth Vines and Fred Perry polish off a few sparring partrers, preparator to their much-ad-vertised meeting at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. As they watched, they discussed the rankings—and all of them seemed to think that amateur tennis in the United States is sorely afflicted by malnutrition.
Berkeley Bell, the tumbling Texan, who once enjoyed first-10 rating as an amateur, guffawed loudly as he read the selections for 1936.
“Budge, Parker 0. K.”
“Don Budge and Frank Parker are all right for the first two places, but after that it’s just too bad. Why, in my opinion the other eight players wouldn't have been picked for
the first 10 if professionals were eligible. Bryan Grant, Bob Riggs, Gregory Mangin, John Van Ryn, John McDiarmid, Charlie Harris, Joe Hunt and Art Hendrix! Not one of them could whip Vines, Les Stoefen, Bruce Barnes, George Lott, Keith Gledhill, Frank Hunter or Bill Tilden. The present first 10 is a joke compared to those since -the rise of Tilden as an amateur to the era of wholesale .professionalism.” Bell, admittedly, is more or less correct in his assumption. Ten years ago McDiarmid, Harris, Hunt and Hendrix would have been in the second 10 and glad to be there. But professionalism cleared the amateur decks, and the vacancies had to be filled. The U. S. 1. T. A had no, other choice,
Vines Seen Victor
Judged by his practice session in |
Brooklyn last evening, Vines should conquer Perry in handsome fashjon. He turned back Mangin, No. 5 in the amateur ranking, in straight sets. When it is remembered that Mangin long has reigned as America’s indoor tennis king, Vines’ feat takes on additional significance. In the dressing room, as he attired
himself for the street, Vines dis- |:
cussed several subjects of. general interest. “A lot of people think I'm going ‘to pull my shots against Perry because we're, good friends. Well, they're 100 per cent wrong. Sure, we're friends. Fred is my best friend next to Les Stoefen and Gledhill. We've corresponded since 1931. But that won’t mean anything when he steps on the Garden court.” At this point a skeptical listener muttered something that sounded suspiciously like “baloney.”
“Wrong Again”—Vines
“Wrong again,” said Vines. “Maybe you'll understand me better when I talk cash, Nobody loves the almighty dollar better than I do. And beating Perry as badly and as often as I can will mean plenty of those dollars to me in the future. I'm thinking of next season when, assuming another star’amateur turns pro, the best man will be selected to play him a series of matches. I intend to be that man, which means I've got to trim Perry. “At first my ambition was to earn $10,000. Now that I've passed that mark, I don’t feel like stopping. As for the next amateur to join the pro ranks, I imagine that party will be Budge. He intimated he'd make the jump after he won the national championship. I don’t see how anybody can stop him from winning it this year.”
Vines Is Favorite To Beat Fred Perry
By United Press : NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Ellsworth Vines was established an 8-to-5 favorite today to defeat Fred Perry in the latter’s debut as a professional tennis player at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. % The Garden is virtuaily sold out of seats which were scaled from $1.10 to $9.90 and one of the promoters, Francis T. Hunter, said the “standing room only” sign would be out the night of the match. More than 17,000 are expected io pay more - than $40,000 to see the duel. surpassing by far the record tennis pro gate of $30,800 set by Vines and Big Bill Tilden two years ago.
John, Mary, Don’t Worry! All the Clothes You Want
WITHOUT CASH! AT MOSKIN'S
IVALRIES are peculiar things.
Especially when .
they exist as long and as strenuously as the one between Technical and Shortridge. Last fall the big upset in local high school circles was. Shortridge’s defeat of Tech, which threw the city
championship into a triple tie.
Last Saturday night at
the Butler Fieldhouse, almost any impartial fan (a species destined to die out in the next couple of years) would have given you a pretty good bet, if you would have taken
Tech. And Tech won, 22-15.
Early this basketball season I spent part of an afternoon with Bayne Freeman, the new ‘Tech coach. He impressed me, among other things, as being the possessor of basketball logic. Mr. Freeman came through with some excellent logic Which paid off in the
Shortridge game.

"QHORTRIDGE, with six victories under its belt, naturally was shaky. Tech, with a fair record against some bang-up teams,

could best be stopped by a slow defense.
Mr. Freeman figured that the Blue Devils’ fast offense
And it was.
Tech even looked a bit like the old Frankfort team when it retired into the back court after grabbing a slight lead. The Freeman five played three men back and two men in the corners, and
Shortridge was bum-fuzzled.
When you have an opposing team,
whose offense is its strong point, bum-fuzzled by your defense, then you're sitting on top of the world, and, most of the time, the ball.

LLEY, the Shortridge center, had little trouble getting the tipoff. But Richards, Bohn and Held were out to make a night of it, and stole the ball in every way possible, to give the Green and White offensea chance to function. The Shortridge passing attack was on the loose—far too loose. Richards intercepted pass after pass, tossed neat ones to Bohn who usually flipped ‘the ball to Holland or Held. The latter two each

After Tech had gotten a good lead, If the shot wasn't wide open the This proved to be smart tactics.
Fobes, Shortridge forward, gave the Blue Devils a chance in the
final quarter, but the Techmen seized the ball and kept it.
An idea
of how tight the Tech defense was is evidenced in the fact that Jack Clayton, Shortridge star, who usually cashes in with a half dozen
points or more, was held scoreless.

ATIGUE and the fact that the Butler floor is several feet longer than the regulation high school floor were among the Blue
Devil excuses (not from the team but from the fans).
The boys
have been playing a strenuous schedule. And they most certainly did not seem at home on the big floor. ; Jack Dawson, who made the Green and White back up almost 10 yards every time he carried the ball in the football encounter last fall, failed to gain much ground in the game Saturday. Jack made one field goal and two free throws. tying with Alley and Fobes for high point honors on the Blue Devil team.
The Shortridge shooting. form was definitely down.
They made
“but six field goals out of 57 attempts. Tech made eight out of 37. One ex-Shortridger ‘laid the blame all on the fact that Fred . Krampe, the sophomore center who has been hitting pretty well this season, didn’t appear in the game. Fred was on the bench, in a suit, and looked eager, but that was all. . : : The game gives Shortridge plenty to work on before the city
tourney late this month.
But Mr. Freeman is likely to apply more
logic and the Tech team may be a fire department brigade the next
time the Blue Devils see it.

By BERNARD HARMON
Bowling leagues of the city are to resume their regular schedules today after a short lull brought about by the holiday season.

Joe Rieff, Big Ten Scoring Ace, Held to Single | Basket by Baird.
The Kautsky A. C.'s, which defeated the Whiting Ciesars at the Pennsy Gym yesterday, is scheduled to tangle with the Chicago Duffys
in a double-header next Sunday. Joe Rieff and Bill Haarlow, exBig Ten scoring aces, now with the Whiting team, failed to show much scoring ability, the former being held to a single field goal by Frank Baird. Haarlow was also limited to one basket by Johnny Wooden, although he dropped in a trio of markers after Wooden left the floor Jate in the game. The game was the third consecutive victory for Kautsky's in a week. Kautsky’s forged ahead only. In the last five’ minutes to take the game from the Ciesars after the lead had changed frequently. The Visitors led 12-9 at the quarter and the score was tied 18-18 at the intermission and 28-28 at the end of the third quartez. _ On offense, Wooden with 13 and Kessler with 11 points, looked best for Kautsky A. C. while Joe Stack led .the Ciesars with 12 points. George Chestnut controlled the tip for Kautsky’s and Cy Profitt played well on defense. Vinte McGowan took the ball off the backboard regularly and provided excellent de-
‘| fense for the visitors.
The matinee tilt of next Sunday’s games is to be played in Chicago, while the evening affair is scheduled in Kankakee. Indianapolis’ second pro quintet, the U. S. Tires, is to play at the Pennsy Gym, with the Akron Firestones furnishing the opposition.

36 Steeplechase iTorses Imported by Americans
By NEA Rervice
NEW YORK, Jan. 4—With the arrival of 36
steeplechase stars,
ariother spectacular gamble is added to the mos speculative of all sports
—horse racing. Thirty-six wealthy sportsmen and sportswomen of the Atlantic seaboard pooled $90,000, exclusive of importing charges, to bring the thoroughbreds from France. The majority of them are Frenchbred, but some have antecedents that trace to Ireland, foremost breeding ground for jumpers, and to England. What makes this a pure gamble is that the names of the nags will be placed in a whirling barrel, with each subscriber drawing a name, which will be the title of that particular patron’s pony. The bangtails have been imported to stimulate the branch of racing which the interested ‘patrons most admire. The depression. still is rampant in France. There are threats of war, with its increased taxes. Good geegees, therefore, are relatively cheap. Hence, the purchase in France, rather than in Ireland or England. Good Runners Scarce Most of the subscribers are patrons of hunt meetings, or crosscountry hurdle races. With some few exceptions their entrants were not considered sufficiently capable to go onto the race course to tackle Bushranger, Amagansett, or their like. Good runners are scarce, let alone steeplechasers. Jumping fields are small, and generally made up of the same hurdlers. Out of the importations, the pool subscribers hope to get fast animals which can race at Belmont Park and Saratoga. They hope to pull steeplechase out of its present doldrums. Thirty-six new numbers at least will relieve the monotony of the same fields. : ~The turf bodies are responsible for steeplechasing being no more widespread than it is. They have stead-
1 | fastly refused to license hunt meet-
ings, or steeplechases, held outside of the Atlantic seaboard area, or. in other words, outside of a certain radius of New York. Confined to Coast Going under the assumption that people of the hinterlands would not uphold the lofty traditions of the sport, and being afraid the Indians from, say, Ohio, or Illinois might make use of the opportunity to
1 | barge up to tea tables as equals, the
turf chiefs have absolutely refused to permit the sport to get beyond commuting distance of Broadway. It is strange that such mighty establishments as Arlington Park in Chicago, Santa Anita in southern California, and Churchill Downs at Louisville make no provision for the jumpers.
It is nothing short of -tragic that |g
Grasslands, a remarkable replica of England's Aintree, should have been allowed to go to ruin just because,- eastern top hats were afraid to take an excursion into the Indian country. Grasslands was a true duplicate of Aintree, where England annually
holds its Grand National Steeple- |
chase ‘Handicap, perhaps the most famous race in the world, not even excluding the Derby Stakes.
Grasslands Stiff Course
If anything, Grasslands was even stiffer than Aintree. The horses that raced at its inaugural were the best in America, but they were expelled from the turf. Grasslands got no worthwhile entries thereafter and passed out of the picture. . Azucar, the imported Irisher, though one of the finest ’chasers in America, did not win one-tenth the amount in jumping events that he has bagged on the flat, thanks largely to his victory in the initial $100,000 added Santa Anita Handicap, Feb. 22, 1935, for Fred Alger’s convert hasn’t copped a race in a coon’s age, or longer.

If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays in the blood. These poisons may start naggin, backaches, rheumatic pains, lumbago, loss of pep and energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffinessunder theeyes, headaches and dizziness. Don't wait! Ask your daniggist for Doan’s Pills, used successfully by millions for over 40 years. They give happy relief and will help the 15 miles of kidney tubes flush out poisonous waste from the blood.
