Tilden Fears Net
Form Is Lost
Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. ?.—William
Tilden, II, national tennia champion,
declared today he would consider him
self lucky to get into the first ten for
1923. Discussing for the first time
his prospects since he lost the first
Joint of the middle finger of his play
ing hand, the champion was pessimis
tic about the future.
Tilden said it would be necessary for
him to build up an entirely new sys
tem of play aand that many of his
trick plays would be lost to him. Con
fidence in his shots, he confessed,
would be greatly undermined.
"I will have a nice orthodox gamo
next yeaf,” he lamented, “nothing
flashy and few forcing strokes. I
am certain now that what is left of
my middle finger will be stiff and
virtually useless In gripping a racquet.
That means all my strokes in which
tills finger plays a part will have to
be changed or modified.
“My backhand drive and my alleged
forehand drive are the only strokes
that will not be affected.
“As yet I in doubt about my
service. All my volley shots and
all those delicate little cut shots on
which 1 always depended so much nre
lost to me.”
Tilden said he did not expect to play
until February.

Offers Made for
Carp-Siki Rout
Paris. Deo. P.—Three different
purses for t light between Battling
Siki and Ueorges Carpentier have been
offered. Two of the offers, each for
a purse of 300,000 francs, came re
spectively. from a Marseilles merchant
and a firm in Paris dealing in bicycles.
The bicycle concern has deposited a
check as forfeit with the Matin. The
third, of 400,1)00 francs, is from the
National Boxing ring. Bull other
purses are expected to he offered.
‘'Franco is tired of this disgraceful
dispute, and we want it settled to the.
honor of all concerned if possible,”
said the Marseilles merchant, in mak
ing known his proposition.
Siki has not accepted the challenge
made by Carpentirr before Carpetter
departed today for Brighton, England.
The negro pugilist declared before he
accepted he must receive his share
of the 624.uoo francs receipts of the
fight of September “4, when he
knocked out Carpentier.

Blind Students ot Pittsburgh
Institute Play Basket Ball
Pittsburgh. Pec. 9.—{Special 1 —
Pittsburgh may lay ctuiin to tho most
remarkable basket ball teams til ex
istence, probably tho only ones of
their kind in the \vi rid. The Pitts
burgh Institute for Blind has ac
tually developed among Its members
rival quintets, and in spite of their
handicap they are said to play a fine
game.
Basketball for the blind is, of
course, not the ordinary .ago game,
but it is modified to a gnat extent.
The chief obstacle in the way of tho
sightless is tho inability to pass nnd
shoot with any degree of accuracy,
Thi- has been mot with at the Pitts
burgh Institution by placing eight
rubber marl's on the floor, four in the
vicinity of each basket. These can
easily be felt with the feel, and serve
as landmarks from which tho players
try for goals. They train to shoot
from those spots, and acquire the
knack of caging them at the distance
with ease. The foul line is marked
! with a strip of linoleum pasted to
I the floor at the regular 17-foot dis
tame, and may thus be discerned by
touching with the foot.
Passing (tie ball Is really the great
problem. Teams whose members
possess all their'senses have great dif
ficulty at times in keeping track of
each other's movements in so fast a
game ns basket ball, and It can read
ily be seen how ban! It Is for blind
boys to do so. The institute teams,
however, seem to have found an ex
traordinary faculty of feeling out just
where the various plnyers are located.
The floor markings play a great part
in the formations and the passes aro
made from one spot to another, so
that the players develop mechanical
perfection ip shooting the ball away
and receiving it at certain distances.
A system of signaling by stamping
with the feet has been invented and
helps the playprs in communicating
With their teammates.
Strange as it may seem, the teams
know when they have lost the ball
to their opponents, or when they have
intercepted the sphere when the other
side is bn the offensive.

Radio the Practical Gift for Christmas
Radio has taken the nation by storm and life has literally been made over for boys and girls, their mothers and fathers, the strong and the well ami the blind, and nothing
has ever been offered to the public before which is as fascinating as the radio receiving set. It grips one—it never grows old. To hear a concert coming to you through
space - to know that it is coming from Detroit or Pittsburgh—then, by the slight turn of a knob, to hear a voice from way down in Dixie; to jump from there to .some
western station; seems almost uncanny—yet that is just what is being done by thousands of radio fans every night.

Radio Is Useful
to **Dry Navy”
Dry Fleet to Keep Tab on
Would-Be Bootleggers by
Means of Radio.
Not even the alert craft which
guarded our coast during the war car
ried such complete radio equipment ns
the "dry navy” which today patrols
the entrance to New fork harbor.
Every unit of this fleet carries both
bending and receiving apparatus of
the most efficient type. Since they
operate as a rule within compara
tively narrow boundaries this equip
ment Is not especially powerful. It
serves nevertheless to keep the dry
fleet in instant touch with headquar
ters ashore at all hours of the day
and night in all extremes of weather.
The various units of the fleet are
also enabled to keep in communica
tion with each otner. The radio
curators are experts in their line
and brim* to their work considerable
experience in marine sending and re
ceiving. They relieve each other at
their Ftations at regular intervals
throughout the day and night, so
that the fleet is never caught nap
ping or taken by surprise. The radio
installation as a rule is moro efficient
and dependable than during the war.
It is very complete in every’ detail
For the benefit of radio fans it may
be mentioned that it includes both
spark and continuous wave trans
mitters and receivers. It is operated
by a 110-\olt current from tho ship's
mains. The transmitter installed In
the dry navy Is the same as that used
by many amateurs on land. The send
ing of these messages from one unit
to another of the fleet may often be
picked up by stations ashore.
The news is flashed as quickly as
possible to New York and Is placed in
the h&nds of the operators of some
naval transmitting station. From
here it is broadcast to the entire pro
hibition fleet cruising in near-by
waters. As a rule less than 30 min
utes is required between ttie time such
information is turned in at, say
Washington, and the time it is picked
up by the alert radio operator abroad
a unit of the dry navy at sea. The
time is often considerably less.
The communications sent from tho
naval stations to the fleet are of
course in cipher, so that tho incom
ing ship, however alert, cannot listen
in on fli" directions broadcast to the
enemy. Tho gauntlet which must l>o
run by the bootlegger is therefore
more tightly drawn in some respects
than that which guarded New York
against possible enemy submarines.
Since the dry fleet, operates within
the three-mile limit they are never
very far from their bases and the
zohe within this limit is very com
pletely patrolled.—New York Times.
Atlantic Tests Are
Held This Week
Monday marks the opening day of
the trans Atlantic tests, a great event
in the lives of all radio senders and
receivers. First conducted last win
ter, they proved so popular and
aroused so much interest that they
are being repeated.
For tho first 10 days American op
erators will try to send messages to
Europe. The contest is free-for-all
during that period. For tho last
two weeks European senders will try
to reach American receivers. The
messages necessarily must be brief.
They will consist of three “from’
signals followed by three signatures
Last year some 25 American sta
tions succeeded in bridging the Allan
tic. Most of them were eastern
broadcasters, the farthest west being
in Chicago.
Omaha owners of radio sets will
try their hand at the game, though
more Interest is evinced in trying tc
pick up Europo than in the sending
as there are no stations here whos»
broadcasting could reach so far e*
eept through n freak stroko of luck.
The object of the contest is to find
out which stations are most efficient,
avid to promote radio communication
between the United States and
Europe.

The Westinghouse
Aeriola Senior Detector
Tube Receiving Set
Tills is probably the most popular
radio receiving set on the market to
day, due to its efficiency, compactness
and simple operation. It requires no
storage battery, as the filament of the
wonderful YVD-11 detector tube with
which it is equipped requires only 1
volts and operates from an ordinary
dry battery, obtainable at any electri
cal, Radio or hardware store.
Under average, ordinary, favorable
conditions the YVestinghouse Aeriola
Senior will cover about 150 miles. This
is very conservative and under partic
ularly favorable conditions it has re
ceived concerts from one coast to the
other.
The Aeriola Senior Receiving Set comes complete with detector tube and Head
Set. Only one dry battery, one “B” battery (22 0. volt dry battery) and the
Antenna are necessary to make it ready for use.
