One can only give an opinion but Tilden has been wrong in his statement before and I think he is again. It might take Perry ä Uttle time to adjust his game to the alectric light and canvas surface on which most of the Professional games are played, but I feel sure Perry, like Bobby Jones at Goir could and would hold his own against all comers.
