Tilden Names Budge "Greatest Player Of All"
"big bill” tilDEN, who recently aroused a storm of protest by naming the late Susanne Lenglen as the greatest womon tennis player of all time over the claims of Helen Willa Roark and Alice Marble, whom many regard an better than the French woman, has now created what might well be an- other controversy as far as the men players are concerned. He has just named Donald Budge as the greatest player the courts have ever seen.
He has played tournament tennis longer than anybody and, in fact, he may well claim the title of being the Kreatest player for he has ruled a few ecurts himself in his hey-day.
"Just A Natural"
I wonder how far he would be correct in applying this theory to all golfers? Can it be a fact that one or the other of one's eyes is better. Doctors I will tell that one eve can be wenker than the other-but I don't think that is what Jones meant.

Just try looking at the ball through the right eye, and then calculate the precentage of shots which are spolled through lifting the lead too early.

Another thing I have found out about this left eye business is that a different perspective of the ball is seen, and the tilt of the head some- It alters the apparent line of how makes the in-out swing easter approach. That a parallel line to one's feet appears to converge backwards when the left eye takes control, and in then hitting along what seems to be the correct line ene hits from the inside outwards. But the eyes play a great part in putting. Players with super eye- sight can often just line up the hole by standing over the ball. Others have to lie down behind and study
