In the ladies' realm, Tilden was of the opinion that Alice Marble was now in the same class as Mrs. Helen Wills Moody. Although, he did not see her win the U. S. Na- tional Singles title, he saw

In answer to a question about the professional "circus." Tilden said he wished to correct a mis- understanding accepted all over the world.

"There is no such thing as a professional circus. Get that right out of your mind. Each pro- fessional player signs contracts as an individual, and every time they go on a court they go out to win."

Unfortunately, Tilden pointed out, the false ethics of professional boxing and wrestling m the United Stales have given a false impres- slon regarding professional tennis. The idea that there was no com- petition in professional tennis was absurd.

GIVEN GREAT OVATION Tilden and Vines arrived on the court shortly after 3.30 p.m. and were give a great ovation by the crowd. Atter an introduction by Mr. Q. W. Sewell, who umpired, the game commenced with Tildan serving. Tiden won his service quite easily and so did Vines.

Both players took some little time getting used to the court which appeared on the heavy side probably caused by the rain on Sun- day night. For the first few games

both players were content to im- part spin to their shots and the play was mostly from the base-

line.

BRILLIANT RALLIES

the world's No. 1 player, Tilden went on to say that in the pro- fessional ranks he would only be one of the first Ave or six.

FOUNDATION OF GOOD PLAY

The foundation a good player! must develop. the speaker said, consists of three parts. These ware (1) keeping your eye on the ball, (2) keeping your weight, in whatever position you are and (3) playing the basic stroke., “If you are a good player you.'need not watch your opponent to know where he is." Tilden pointed out that most people made the mis- take of watching the ball until it bounces in front of them and ther they look at the scenery and play. the ball.

STROKES DEMONSTRATED Tilden then demonstrated to his audience the method of gripping a racket and playing a good stroke. The stroke,is explained; mu? be be played: in-three-movements. He- garding the forehand drive, he pointed out that it was the basis of all good tennis.
