TENNIS REVIEWED
BY TILDEN
PROFESSIONALS WELL AHEAD OF AMATEURS "I AM CERTAIN PERRY HAS TURNED PROFESSIONAL”
(By "REFEREE")
England will not retain the Davis Cup next year without the services of Fred Perry; either Gerraany or the United States will succeed; Baron Gottfried von Cramm is the most likely suc- cessor to the Wimbledon crown; Fred Ferry has turned profes- sional and I believe that he has already signed a contract," were some of the statements made by William T. "Big Bill" Tilden to representatives of the Press in an interview this morning soon after the world famous professional tennis player, accompanied by Mr. Ellsworth Vines and Mrs. Vines, had arrived in the Colony, by the s.s. President Lincoln from Shanghai
"There is no shadow of a doubt that professional tennis on a paying basis is a financial success and has come to stay for ever, and I am certain that Fred Perry has turned professional and I believe that he has already signed a contract to that effect. although I have no idea what the set-up' is like," said Tilden.
