When Mr. Tilden thinks he is better than No Collusion Is Suggested, BY JOHN LARDNER. REDDIE PERRY and H. Ells- worth Vines, touching briefly at tour of 1,000,000—count 'em, 1,000,000 —yawns, admitted that they do not know as yet which is the better tennis keep up from finding out,” said Mr. Perry. “We've played more than 45 matches, and I know Vines' game like to prove anything one way or an- ather.” Pinned to the wall, Mr. Perry will tell you that Perry is the best there is, but this is just two-for-a-nickel courtesy, the kind you can buy over T hope some day the pro tennis play- ers will break down and follow the lead of Will Tilden and forget about another guy, he tells you so in no un- certain terms. So do a number of the so-called amateur players. They're Nip and Tuck. N WHAT they have shown so far, in nearly 50 matches, Perry and | Vines are nip and tuck. I think Vines holds a slight edge in the series. but Perry may forge ahead tomorrow night at the University of Maryland Coli- seum while the spectators snore in whole-hearted tribute. As Perry says, the two young men have no secrets from each other any more. They both know the other man’s game so well that they could stage a match in the darkness and keep the ball in play. In fact, that might be a good idea. It would do away with the need for linesmen, and the customers could sleep in far great- er comfort with the lights out. I saw a match they played in Brookiyn a few days ago, as they slid by easy stages up the Eastern sea- board. I don't know whether it was No. 42 or No. 43. Sometimes the play- ers don't know themselves, though they never forget to count the house and check the gate receipts. Anyway, Vines won the match. Or was it Perry? It was one of the two, if not both. Vines Improves Accuracy. HEY played efficiently and they played well, but there was a cer- tain dreariness about the proceedings that killed most everybody's interest in the result. Obviously, they are both stronger and more fully rounded players because of their tour. Vines has sacrificed some of his speed in favor of control and he can bang a good shot down the side line with his eyes shut. Still hitting the fastest ball in the business, he makes fewer errors and appears to be a better strategist. Perry has learned to cope with Vines' speed, so far as that is possible. The ball must be laid in spots where Vines cannot get a full, square slug at it, and Perry can hit those spots as though he were shooting the pellet out of a gun. In other words, the boys have improved and adapted them- selves to the point where the thing becomes a stand-off again, and a Mexican stand-off, too, aside from the money angle. Their tour of the country has tired them both. Perry looks pale and drawn and some of the spring is gone from his legs. Vines is listless. hits with the old power, but he does it by ear. Some of the spontaneity is missing. He doesn’t always come storming into the net to murder a soft return as though he meant business. Recalls Rassling Curse. LTHOUGH the boys do not re- | hearse their act beforehand and take turns winning, as far as I know, | there is something of the rassler’s curse about the way one fellow wins in Boffington and the other in Turnips | Green on alternate nights. A pair of rasslers, seeing America together, usually contrive to break about even in matches won and lost, except when the union wants one of them built up at the other's expense. Terrible Turgoff wins in Rochester, maybe because there is a girl there he used to know before he became a Bulgarian, but, if Grunting Gus Gludge fails to cop the next night in Utica, it is a dirty trick on Turgoff’s part and sufficient grounds for a squawk to headquarters, where M. Jacques Curley is very strict about rotation. The rassler's curse has fallen, as I say, upon the Perry-Vines tour. boys probably are innocent of collu- sion, but if Vines—or Perry—won 10 matches in a row, where would the tour be? Mr. Perry stands to make a fat amount of cash in his first pro year, but only if the Vines tour holds up as an even, nip-and-tuck thing. Open Tourney Would Help. THIS is nothing against pro tennis. As long as the amateur officials remain pig-headed about mixing with the pros, the pros have got to pick up a dime as best they may. An open tournament, where the motive is cash or glory or both and the only way a player can win is by beating a good fleld the hard way, would restore pub- lic interest in both branches of tennis, the commercial and the Simon-pure. It would make professional tennis a steady and fairly reliable profession, like pro golf. The sooner the amateur tycoons sanction open tennis, the better for all hands. The amateur game is in a doleful state just now. America has only one outstanding amateur, Budge, who is a cinch to turn pro at the end of the year. It is next to impossible to work up a perspiration about the national tournament in September, with fellows like Parker, Grant, Hen- drix, Hall, Mangin—nice fellows, but ‘well below par—supplying the enter- tainment. The only way the officials can swell the gate is by importing some- golden calf from Europe, like Baron von Cramm, and that is strictly & professional maneuver, even if they call it amateur sport. Meanwhile, Vines and Perry, the two best players in the world, are forced to drag their dogs around the country, splitting exhibition purses, while the customers greet them with gales of lethargy. * (Copyright, 1937, by the North Americaa Newspaper Alliance.

Yet that is the best we can do in the ab- sence of color printing or detailed drawings. And even that is a poor substitute for the original fish in all his living color, power and life. This department has received sev- eral letters from beginning anglers this Spring asking how to tell a brook trout from a brewn, a brown from a rainbow and soforth. Falling back on the method of copying detailed de- scriptions of the various species from books on the subject is, we realize, a | poor way of answering these queries, | and we have a suggestion to offer which should help all concerned. Go down to the aquarium in the basement of the Commerce Department, Fourteenth street and Constitution avenue, and see for yourself what these fish are. ‘Washington anglers are fortunate in having right in thier home town the fine aquarium of the Bureau of Fisheries, one of the best and most complete in the United States. Under the able direction of the genial Fred Orsinger—himself an excellent an- | gler—the bureau has assembled a | wonderful collection of all the fresh | water game fish found in this part of the country. They have been | placed in lighted glass tanks, with a background duplicating their native habitant. Trout Exhibited at Aquarium. A FEW boulders and sunken logs make the trout feel at home, crappie swim around beneath the shadows cast by an old wharf piling and catfish and carp have the sandy vegetation-covered bottom they love so much. Under these natural condi- tions you can see for yourself just what makes each species different E from the others. | This time of year we are most interested in trout, and here the bureau has excellent speci- mens of all types in the East. There are the famous browns, brooks, rainbows and black spots, and Orsinger ever has a few of that most curious fish of all—the albine brook trout. ‘The thing which will impress you most when looking at these trout is the smooth power and strength hidden in their muscle-packed bodies, and your hands will itch to grasp a fly rod and tie into even one of these 20-inchers. It is an education in itself to pay a visit to the aquarium, and no doubt & few minutes spent there will teach you all you need to know in the way of telling these fish apart. Also on exhibit are such other fresh- water fish of interest to the angler as crappie, blue gills, perch, black bass, pike and white bass. There also is a case of fishing tackle there, furnished by one of the tackle companies, in which is exhibited every type of tackle from light trout rods and lures to the heavier salt water sailfish rig. West Virginia Stocked Streams. AY 1, this coming Saturday, sees the opening of the last trout season in these parts. On that day West Virginia opens the portals for handlers of the light rod, and quite a few of the local casters will be there to help start things rolling. In the last three years the annual distribution of trout in West Virginia has been jumped from one million to more than three million. This concen- tration upon the production of more and more trout should help to close the gap between the demands of an ever- increasing army of fishermen and the supply, and should make for improved angling this year, barring unexpected weather or other conditions, such as & drought as severe as last year’s.

OMEWHAT sadder but & heck of a lot wiser, Eddie Mader va- cated this caulifiower patch to- day determined never again to spot an opponent anything near the 33 pounds he donated to Bob Tow last night at Turner’s Arena and ruefully mourning the fact he had been mis- informed about the poundage of the towering Alexandria bus driver. “They told me the guy only weighed about 185,” offered Eddie in the dress- ing room as he stroked a jaw which only a few moments before had been caressed none too softly by Tow. “There were days when that didn't mean much, but I was faster then. Those days are over. “Tow wouldn’t lead, so I had to. ‘Well, he clipped me, but it won't hap- pen again. I only took the fight be- cause I needed a warm-up for that John Henry Lewis thing. Say, how do you think Bob Olin and I would draw here, or do you think the fans will want to see me after tonight?” Unusual Occurrence. BEING on the wrong end of a knock- out is a rare occasion to Mader, but the decisiveness of a short right cross which connected with a dull thud to his chin after 2 minutes and § seconds of the fifth round offered con- clusive evidence that Eddie henceforth should stick to the light-heavyweight division. It was only the third time he had been kayoed in a lengthy ring career. Eddie now is headed for St. Louis, where in two weeks he will meet Lewis, world light-heavyweight cham- pion, while Tow’s future also assumed a rosier hue. Bob has established his right to face Marty Gallagher, but some doubt still lurks in the minds of local ringworms as to whether Gal- lagher is ready for Tow. ‘Tow assured himself of picking up more than small change this Summer at Griffith Stadium, when, after hold- ing only a slight margin at the half- way point, he pumped that crisp right against Eddie's jutting jaw. Mader crumpled limply to the floor, rolled over at the count of seven and reached a weak paw toward the ropes in an effort to drag himself upward. That right had done its work, how- SCHIC Injector Razor and 12 Blades 8- THE HECHT CO.
