TENNIS MASTERY
41 -Year-Old Star Can Trim
Any Player In World Says
'Elly' After Exhibition
Match Draws $29,760
Br OAYLB TALBOT
(Associated Press Sport Writer)
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (AP) Take
the word of H. Ellsworth Vines, Jr.,
who sampled the old master's fire
for three sets last night, the greatest
tennis player In the world at the
moment La BUI Tllden, 41 years old
. and spry.
"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.
Pleased aa ha was with himself ,
after the match, however, Tllden was
generous In his praise of hla newest i
sparring partner. j
"Vines played wonderful tennis," i
considering the fact ha was unfa- ,
miliar with the Indoor surface," he
said. "He'U get used to It aa he
goes along and iie'll have the old
man humping. Re waa at a terrible
disadvantage tonight."
. 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.

1934 Marks Beginning of
Preparations for Olympics

manyTeams to Travel
CHICAGO, Jan. II. (AP) Ama
teur athletics give prospect of boom
ing In the United States In 1934.
' This Is because the year marks the
beginning of preparations for the
Olympic games of 1038 to be held in
Germany. Also because American
teams have been Invited to com
pete In various nations this year.
Friendly International relations pre
vailing in amateur sport and the
respect for American methods and
competitors abroad is demonstrated
by the fact that the A. A. U. has, at
this time, invitations to send a track
team to Sweden, and a swimming
team to Japan. In addition, it is
expected the winners of the 1033
A. A. U. women's basketball crown
will visit England for the interna
tional championships.
To Arrange Tryouts.
Then too, the Olympic committee,
at a meeting tn February, will arrange
for tryouts for the eleventh Olym
piad, select coaches and managers
and recommend the members of the
team to represent the United States.
Despite the unbalanced economic
conditions, there was no d! munition
of Interest in amateur athletics In
1033. Over 60,000 registered athletes
competed in sanctioned open events
and hundreds of thousands partici
pated in novice and closed events
under the auspices of the A. A. U.,
and Its allied bodies.
Chicago Capital.
Because of the century of progress,
Chicago became the sports capital
of the country, last year. The A. A. U.
was called upon to arrange the most
ambitions sports program ever at
tempted. More than 40 national
championships were conducted and
over 160 separate competitions were
held In practically every sport.
Special features of 1033 were the
advancement made by southern track
and. field athletes, the growth of In
terest In amateur Ice hockey and the
supremacy of the mid-we at in ama
teur basketball and wrestling.

Wild Run of Cards Gives
Gottlieb and Schenken
Crown in Bridge Tourney
NEW YORK. Jao. 11. () The
first annual pair championship of
the United States Bridge association
passed Into history early today with
one last, wild run of cards that swept
aside the hopes of favorites and neo
phytes alike.
Michael Gottlieb and Howard
Schenken, two of the most formidably
consistent players In the game, walk
ed off with the cup with a total of
666 match points 40 points better
than their nearest opponent.
A. M. Barnes and Edward Hymes,
Jr., also of New York, were second
with 626, and next were Mrs. Ely
Culbertson and Albert H. Morehead,
also consistent leaders throughout,
who had 607 1.
Culbertson himself was swept Into
the also-rans as a result of the day's
play, though he started the session
at the top. Hand by hand, he saw
his margin swept away, and he and
Theodore A. Ughtner could do no
better than eighth place and 503
points.
The regional champions who came
to the contest from a half score cities,
placed only one entrant in the first
10 A. P. Stockvle and Leroy Turteii
of Washington, who seventh with
504.
With the pair event out of the way,
tourney kibitzers began speculating
on the probable winner of the major
team of four event, beginning today.
All the cities represented In the pair
contest will again be present uid
possibly a few others. A team has
arrived to represent Portland, Ore.
Demonstration of an electrical fclb
itzer showing card-by-card play by
means of colored lights was called off
by the bridge association, which an
nounced the machine was not yet
ready.
Yesterday's play swung to wild ex
tremes, largely due to weird distribu
tion on almost every deal.
One of the most startling results
was reached on the following, where
on W. E. Brownback and C. C. Lock

The St. Mary's. Ail-Stars have been
accustomed to playing teams which
adhere to the rules of fair play, but
when they encountered the so-called
Illustrious Drop Seat Athletic club
the said club proved to be composed
or players (?) who clearly showed
little knowledge of sportsmanship
and even less of games.
One of the Drop Seat players er
roneously stated in this paper that
tsMey had defeated Med ford's leading
basketball quintet by a score of 21
to 20. Aa a matter of fact, the All
Stars led the half by the one-sided
score of 20 to 6.- At thia point the
St. Mary's academy entered the con
test in place of the All-Stars and
proceeded to further wallop the Drop
Seats.
Jack Boyl was reputed to have
been the hero of the game but, as a
matter of fact, said Mr. Boyl was
vigorously at work pounding a type
writer at his place of employment
while tie game was being played at
the senior high school.
