Perry to Tackle
Bill Tilden Next
NEW YORK, March
Before another prospective sell
out crowd, the pro tennis troopers'
will return to the Madison Square
Garden court tomorrow night with
I one important change In the cast
i of leading characters.
When Fred Perry made his
commercial debut last January, he
was matched with Ellsworth
Vines. Tomorrow his opponent will
be Bill Tilden, 44-year-old Per
ennial of the courts. -
Chief speculation about the
match, first of a series of five.
revolves about Tilden and his
ability to stand, up under the
strain of a five-set encounter with
the British player who last year
was the world's ankihg amateur.
"If Perry thinks that they're
going to have to bring me on the
court In a wheel chair after the
first two sets, I may surprise him,"
said the old master.

Golf Meet Opens
PINEHURST. N. C, March 23.
(.'P)-The professional brigade
took' advantage today of rare
golfing in the first round of the
north and south open golf tourna
ment to give the famous Pine
hurst course Its worst lacing in
many moons.
The gale-like blows customary
here in .spring gave way to a calm
summer-like day, and the salaried
shooters grabbed the opportunity
to bombard par thoroughly, as
Denny Shute and Horton Smith
hung up a new competitive course
record of 67; five better than per
fect figures.
