To me William T. Tilden is ' just “Big Bill.” His remark- ~able achievements during his reign as “tennis king” makes him the outstanding figure in the tennis world ‘There never was a more Dopular | champion. The interest taken in his} Condition ts proof positive of such a! statement. Recently at Chicago, Tilden in| some exhibition matches, made his| first test of play since recovering from his injury. He met with fair success. Perhaps it 1s too early to pass ac- curate judgment. There are many in front of us before the big ents get under way. Many + things can happen in that space of time. | After considerable thought, togeth- ‘@r with some authentic information, I am firmly convinced that for a » time in the earty spring “Big Bill” Will be easy picking, so to speak, for some of the mediocre players. I am. of the opinion that Tilden| | Will be forced to eliminate many of Bis tricky court’shots in the future, which will mean that he will be forced to stay further away from the net. This will diminish his ef- fectiveness to no small degree and _ his attack will be limited to a back But watch him improve!

Al- ways rivals, these two famous ath- letes never fall to put up a clash that attracts world-wide attention Taking Into consideration that Til- den was extended to the limit tn order to conquer “Little Bill” last year, it Is only reasonable to enter- tain the bellef that “Big Bill" wilt be unable to stem the tide that the Westerner will launch this season.

In fact the elongated pivot man has far exceeded expectations, and has stepped into Miller's shoes In stellar style. In the recent games with Minne. sota and Wisconsin, Ely alone was responsible for 87 of his team's 49 points, scoring 26 of the 84 markers made against the Gophers and 11 of the 15 acerued in the Badger clash, All told, Ely dropped in 10 field goals, and made good on 17 In 28 foul tosses. His feat of counting 26 points in a single fray is but one behind the season's Western Conference reo: ord hung up by Miller a short time ago. ¥ Ely, along with Gibson of Wiscon- sin, easily stands as the premier center in the Big Ten, and when pitted against the Cardinal star re cently, outplayed him by a goodly margin, A penal inatitition for women, offi. cered thruout by women, with all of the attendants women, will bo Ala bama's 1928 contribution toward the furtherance of prison reforms tn the United Statos, PAGE 13 IN POOL MIX SEBALL TRIP TO JAPAN Telling of Trip Nippons Marveled at the Throwing of New York Giants’ First Sacker ASEBALLING in Japan! 1 furnished more thrills than a world series for the fortunate players on the selected teams of big leaguers who recently jour neyed to the Orient to promote the national game and interne tional good will, The Star today presents the first of @ series of | first-hand stories of this mons | mental expedition, as told to Billy Byans, By Waite Hoyt | Pitcher for the New York Americana and World Series Hero qu 2 KELLY, of the New I york ts, wag the outstands ing hero of the baseball expedition to the Orient, from the Japanese viewpoint.

In @ baseball uniform Kelly seems even taller, and when he and Johnny Lavan, who was playing short for our team, held & confurence, it <= ways got a big laugh, Lavan and Kelly were the Mutt and Jeff combi- nation of the trip. Those two famous comic characters are almost as well known in Japan as in this country Aside from the hitting ability of the Americans, the Japs marveled at our long-distance throwing and the accuracy with which the outfielders could get the ball to the plate, Kelly has a great arm. His throws ing ability, added to his size, also helped to make him « big hero in the eyes of the Jap fans. Even more interesting to some of the fans than the game itself was Kelly's exhibition of long-distance throwing. This was an added fea- ture before each game. Standing in the outfield, at the re motest point in the park, or at the home plate, Kelly would make sev eral jong-distance throws, after get. ting his arm properly warmed up On every occasion his final throw would pass out of the confines of the park. None of the Jap players could come close to equaling such @ feat as Kelly would put over daily, Nat urally, his ability to do the unusual in their eyes helped make him a big favorite. The throwing arm of the is @ pecullar affair. From Gig. tances he can get good speed on the ball. The infielders are able to get the ball across the diamond ag fast as our players, and most of the pitchers have better than the aver. age speed, but they are unable to make the ball carry any great dis- tanon, Kelly, by the way, will continue ta remain a favorite in Japan for some time, He was engaged by a movie picture concern over there to play the leading role in a film featuring baseball, Kelly's great popularity with the fans won for him the lead- ing role. He is the hero, of course, After being kidnaped by some Jap bane dits, so that he will not be able to play in the big game of the year, Kelly knocks out eight Jap guards, makes good his escape, and arrives at the Qall park in the ninth inning, just in time to go to bat in a pinch and make a home run with the base@ full, winning the ball game and the heroine as well.
