Jacques Curley, the promoter, rap- ping impatiently upon the ringside to bring an abrupt finish to a ¢ match so that the pon- s pachyderms could catch train to the next place of ng entertainment. M. Jacques says the story is ex- R ted, but at any rate he has been used to having the heave-and- "ho boys do their work with an eye to the gate receipts as well as the practical advantages of the situa- tion in hand. Perhaps Curley has not been rauch surprised by the failure of his tennis enterprise, featuring Big | Bill Tilden, to accept any such code *of business. M. Jacques has pro- cient varieties of human nature to ' moted enterprises involving suffi-| ytake things as they came and make the best of it. Nevertheless he must have been pained by the way Tilden disposed of the two professional rivals capa- ble of making matters interesting —Karel Kozeluh and Vincent Rich- Ards. .charges of professionalism or at ., least commercialism. As a pro, he has manifested an amateur sspirit of competitiveness hardly cal- culated to prolong or stimulate the interest of the cash customers. Tilden’s tour no doubt has drawn well enough to net a tidy return, but Big Bill- has done no “slough- ing” designed to help the “build- up” from town to town. Kozeluh Should Know 4 Kozeluh, who now has the dubi- ous distinction of having been beat- fen more times by Tilden than any other player, amateur or pro, finds nothing mystifying in Big Bill's sweep of the series with Vincent Richards, whose youth has never enabled him to catch up with the tall Philadelphian Aside from the fact that Vinne splayed Bill improperly, from the | standpoint of tactics, Kozeluh in al # tennis magazine notes: “The second reason for Vinnie's| 'gefeat lias not with Vinnie but with Big Bl himself. I maintain, in all honesty and sincerity, that Tilden, as I have known him in several matches of our tour, is un- beatable. No player today in the world, Cochet not excepted, will beat Bill as I have known him. #! “The pace, the spin, power, de- caption, speed, steadiness, accu- racy, strategy of Bill's tennis game | Aare superb. Without a doubt Tilden| today is himself the composite play- VACIC KEARNS |S ALREADY CLAIMING TITLES FOR- #iM As an amateur Tilden combated | ’/ LAN GOULD ~ AS55ssnmess ) leading players of the world. And he has sportsmanship to the nth degree.” Loss to Cup Team Tilden, if he had waited anoth- |er year before turning prp, might | have attained his goal of helping to bring back the Davis Cup from France. Big Bill had done his mightiest, | under some harrassing circum- “stances. for three years to turn ‘this trick. He felt it was time to {let the younger fellows like Shields and Wood take over the job. Perhaps he was right, for the| new generation will reach the top only through front-line fighting, but the big tennis show isn't quite the same without him. - MRS. G.

However, the planters were quick- |ly disillusioned. Their creditors | promptly, very promptly in fact,| let them know that there would| be no lessening in the expectation of payments.
