"There Isn't a man In the game, amateur or professional who would atand a chance against him In match play," declared the convinced "Elly" after Tllden had taken him over the humps by scores of 806. 803. 603, In Vines debut as a professional t Madison Square Garden. Marvels at Service. "I thought I'd faced some services, but that flrat ball of Bill's haa the othera backed off the boards," said the 23-year-old Callfornlan, almost reverently. "It was at me before I knew It, and how It twisted 1" T7 rtlrtn'fc exanaerate. A few min utes before the crowd of nearly 17,000 that packed the Garden bad sat mazed as Vines, a great national ohamplon only two years ago, trtAH riennftrateiv to atem BtU'a thun derous service by bracing both hands on his racquet, oven men couldn't keep it In the court. The audience had seen Vines drive deep to Tllden'a backhand, a forcing hot, and tear In for the kill as he was wont to do when he ruled the world's amateurs. And they had aeen . the youngster's bat nearly knocked from hla hand, the ball go flying askew, from the fury of Big Bill's backhand return. Tllden Shows Stuff. It was withal a marvelous show that Big Bill, the showman, had saved up for the unveiling of Vines. Be had the sort of audience he liked, with plenty of stiff shirts In the side boxes, and he gave them the works. Vines played some noble tennis him self, particularly in the opening set, but It takes more than that to hold oft a Tllden. Where Ellsworth waa forced to de pend almost entirely on his own scorching service, which failed him sadly at tlmea and his blistering deep, eourt shots, BUI matched him there and then dazzled him with an aaaort ment of phenomenal shot and oourt deceits that left no doubt of the ulti mate result. Tllden's beautiful half Tolleya, hla "gets" of balls that seemed lost and the effortless esse witn which he covered court were some thing to sea. ! Praise for Vine.

Vlnea wasn't downhearted at nla' failure to win a single set In the first go-round. Be had an Idea be would do better as ha and Bill got batter acquainted. He even predicted ha might take a aet In their next match at Philadelphia. But any dlsappolntmsnt ha might have felt doubtless waa leavened by the site of the crowd that paid to sea him start out. There was 130,760 of new money In the firm's treasury, and that will buy a lot of tennis balls. 200 TEE OFF IN BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. It.
