Farrell (United Press Sports Editor) New York, Dec. 29 (United Press) —Injury to “Big Bill” Tilden, which may remove from the court the champion of champions and the greatest of all time players, was the outstanding incident of 1922 in ten- nis. Rather fortunately, if such an ac- cident can be considered as such, it did not happen until the end of a season in which he convinced all skeptics that he was the greatest player in the world. In an exhibition game late in the fall, Tilden scratched the middle fin- ger of right hand on the wire of a backstop and blood poison resulted. Two operations were necessary and the finger was removed at the second joint. With the exception of the fore- hand and backhand strokes, Tilden willhave to revise all of his defen- sive aht offensive weapons and he says he will~consider himself lucky if he is able to"land in the first ten next year. i Tilden has such a' “tremendous heart,” though, that his courage on 'the court may be enough to pull him through. Resumption of the fued between Mille. Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Molla Mallory was the feature of the early season. The American cham- pion went to Wimbledon and worked her way ihrough the British cham- pionship to the final round against the French girl. Mlle. Lenglen play- ed the. greatest tennis of her life and in routing the American champion, showed that she was the real queen of the world’s court. When Mrs. Mallory got ‘to the American woman champiorships, she demonstrated he sruperiority over all the American girls. The form shown by Helen Wills, the California youngster, was a warning, however, to the queen that she hasn’t long to reign. ' If Amerlca had not been sitting so unquestionably on the top of the ten- nis world for several years, the vic- tory of the American team over the 'Australians in the Davis Cup Chal- lenge round would have been one of the biggest events of the year. The work of the two Bills—Tilden and Johnson—and young Vinnie Richards of course was duly appre- ciated, but it was rather a matter of form, as it was almost a pre-ordained fact that the Americans would win. Tilden’s injury will not work to the harm of the Davis cup classics, although it may be the cause of an- ‘other trip by the classic cup. American and for the immediate future is so soundly established Jhat, tions are thinking. it"pgor b spend so much money 8.8 ly impossible chance of* cup for several years, Bill Tilden has done ] nis than_any other pi g ist may be doing:the same’go For several years some ter fahs have been of the opinion that Bill Johnston was the real king of Amer- ican tennig and that in 1920 and in 1921 Tilden won because the physic- ally inferior Johnston had been over- tennised. In the championships this year, however, Tilden should have con- vinced all those who thought little of him, before that he is the greatest player in the world. ~ * He beat Patterson, winner of the British - championship easily. - an when :he. - ‘one who 2 being the best in the world. i, Here 15 shown one of the thrilling plays in the great Eumfl:ny‘ ann:—,amo annual Oxford-Cambridge game, - King George and the Duke ,of York were in the stands.

But Fosston was absolutely lost on the spacious Bemidji ‘floor and with a little more effort the Firemen could undoubtedly have held the visitors to a much lower score and at the same time piled up a bigger count for themselves. But Bemidji had not entirely recovered from the Crookston clash and made no special effort to run up a big count. Neither Plummer, star-forward, nor Adair, guard, took part, they being saved for future games. 5 For a salaried team which has been bragged about so strongly both in the local newspapers and -in Twin City publicity, the boys showed up poorly last night, practically all of the team stalling far too much. The crowd and the management as well would have preferred to see the boys tear into the game; throughaut even if they were a little tired. Tonight the Firemen are to »lay at Cass Lake. The Cass county vil- lage is said to have a string of form- er high school players who promise to give the Bemidji lads a good game on their own floow. . “ According to the, present schedule the next game fon the Firemen™on cumbency the road has developed from a small country line into one of the most thickly populated com- muted routes and during the same period the company’s assets have | moer than doubled. Mr. Peters is a! railroad man by inheritance, both ; his father and grandfather having | been actively identified wth the | early development of ralroad trans_ | portation in Amierica. He was born 69 years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. His first railroad experience ‘was gained as private secretary to Sam- uel Felton, one of the prominent raiitbad executives of his day. In later years this expérience was broadeneq “by _service' with' promin- ent roads in the South and West. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY William.

TheM To THE the Bemidji floor will be the two against LaCrosse on January 3 and 4. Little is known of LaCrosse locally, but it is expected that the outfit must be strong or it would not at- tempt a tour into’ this section of Minnesota. The Two-Harbprs All- Stars are to play here Friday night of next week, January 5. This game ig certain to be a real one; since the All-Stars rank among the best teams in the entire northwest. In the game last night, Jeub, cen- ter for the Firemen, started the scoring with a field goal, and the : Bemidji boys piled up 13 counters before Fosston scored at all, the vis- itors making their first points on two free throws. Then Bemidji took a short rest, at the same time giving Fosston an opportunity to roll in a few, the first half ending 17 to 9. Coming back in the second half, the Firemen kept rolling in their counters at regular intervals, while Kosston was unable to score again XeAH, THAT'S THROLGH FREICHT . WS _ean BEAT casy !
