L. T. A. likely to adopt it, what would hap- pen to our international tennis pres- tige were Tilden to retire? This, just now, is the chief topic wherever tennis enthusiasts fore- gather. Granting that Tilden’s absence from the courts would deprive the American game of a great deal of color—since the champion is pic- turesque in personality as he is great in ability—it really does not seem likely, that foreign countries would be able to deprive the United States of its laurels for A few years to come, at least. Aside from William Johnston, who is not thru by any means, Vin- cent Richards should be at topnotch for three or four years, at least. He is now only 21 years old. Howard Kinsey is also young and is coming up by leaps and bounds, while he and Robert in doubles are not only the American champions, but are setting more formidable as a pair, season by season. Snod, who rates number seven this year, is also likely to improve his game and so is Hennessy, of Indianapolis. Then, two real youngsters, George Lott, of Chicago, and Alfred Chapin, of Massachusetts, ought to be coming along great guns in a year or so. As for the veterans, Norris Wil- Yams can still turn In an unbeata ble game when he {s in the mood and Bill Johnston, as said, is by no means thru.

SAY DID @ YOUNG LADY WItH RED HAIR END @ BLUE BONNET PASS HERE LATELY 3 VOE'S RECORD 5 PHENOMENAL Kid Hurler Facing Dif- ficult Job in Pace Set Last Year. By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1025, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Emi! Yde, the kid pitcher of the National league, celebrated his very first year in major league company by equaling the the record for percent- age of games won in the National league by pitchers who hurled ten or more nes. Yde won 16 games and lost 3, for ® percentage of .842. Almost as sur- prising as the fact that a kid pitch- er ran up such an imposing average is the coincidence that he exactly Ned tl ) mark, 842, which ot 1 om Hughes, of Boston. Prior t when Hughes made record, e had been no plitch- from the beginning of Natjonal gue history who had been able to produce such a large percentage of victories. Eight years later, a first year pitcher, who had left the west to the accompaniment of hints that the east would do well to keep an ye on him, was able to duplicate equ: was hi n feat. Yde's work throughout the sea- son was most extraordinary. For the greater part of the year it look- ed as though he were going to fin- ish the season without a single de- feat. Should Yde succeed in 1925 as well as he did in 1924, he would create for himself a two-year rec- ord without parallel in baseball and possibly one that would survive for all time. It is hard to imagine how logg a period might elapse before eny player would be equally success- ful.

(Special Correspondent of the Casper Tribune.) (Copyright, 1926-by the Consolidated Press Association.) Of all the no-hit games that ever were pitched in a major league there is none that was the seven days wonder of that pitched by John Lee Richmond of Worcester against the Cleveland club, June 12, 1880, when not a Cleveland player made a base hit and not a Cleveland player reached first base. It was the greatest achievement of its kind in major league history to then. There had been two major league games prior to that In which there had not been a hit but none which had the glamor around it of Richmond's game. ‘Then, too, there was added to it the fact that in an exhibition game against Chicago in June, 1879, he had been credited with a no-hit game and in July of the same year he had been given credit for a no-hit game against Springfield, Mass., but those games were not of the importance of that which he pitched against Cleveland. Richmond once said that he could remember little of this famous game of his because it passed along so smoothly and with such lack of effort on his part that he hardly realized what he was doing. He said that his jump ball worked per- fectly and his half stride ball. By that it will be noted that they had a jump ball even as far back as 1880, although there are many who have said the jump ball did not come into existence until Nichols of Bos- ton brought it in. That is not true. | QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro- fessional sport— - If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything apout a play or player— Wilte to John B.

Otherwise your ques- jon will be answered in this col- umn QUESTION—Why was Judge Lan- dis appointed to the position of Com- missioner of Baseball. Was it to save the natjonal game, as has been stated? ANSWER—When Jndge Landis was made Commissioner of Baseball he was given the appointment be- cause he was the only man at the moment upon whom the warring factiong of the National League and the American League could settle and also because there were influ- ences in baseball that had been work- ing to make him Commissiones for some time. Baseball probably would have survived the shock if he had not been appointed. It has lost nothing by his appointment.

SPORT BRIEFS (By The Associated Press) Veteran catchers are being balled into play to coach young pitchers.

Unlike the American League most valuable player award, which auto- matically bars from future consider- ation any season's winner, the Na- tiopal League's grcilay contest would be’ an open affair every year, if John A. Heydler, president of the senior circuit, has his way. Dazzy Vance, star ‘Brooklyn pitcher and 1924 winner, would be cligible for the prize again this year under Hey- dler’s scheme.
