\\ iJl Not Grieve Over Tilden’s Loss to Tennis ^ays United States Lawn Ten nis Association Will Feel More ot Less Reliev ed. n EW YORK, Feb. 4 — The United States Lawn Tennis as sociation will grieve very little if William T. Tilden, national champion, declines to abandon the pen for the exclusive use of the racquet; on the contrary, it will feel more or less re lieved, as the fellow said when the party permanently borrowed his watch. These are the words of men in close toucli with the tennis situa tion in this city, from which the game is governed by a few for the nlleged benefit of many. They were spoken following the action of last national meeting on Saturday, when tlie player-writer was legislated out of existence after January 1, next. if Tilden caries out his already ex pressed determination to continue his writing, America will lose perhaps t lie greatest figure in tennis history. He will be declared a professional and : tie Davis cup committee will be dis pleased not at all. "We will be glad to get rid of Til den," the writer lias been told. "lie has been actively opposed to them for five years and has fought their dominance of the game at every turn, lie has made, things very uncomfort ihle for some of the officials and lie Knows so inuch about inside work ings of the inside of tho organiza tion that he is no longer tolerable. There will be no tears shed if Tilden decides to give up competition for writing." What, however, of tlie fact that the American public is, thus, losing its champion though he is no longer tol erable to the officials, the same can t t be said for tennis galleries. There are those who would like to see America's dominance in the Davis ctip competition preserved. Tilden is the public's champion, and not the property of the United states Lawn Tennis association.

W hen pressed for details he will tell you about the mud in the Sand Hill ijkCs. It seems that Charley was out there with a few companions anil being a bit heavy, usually sank through the mud to his hips. His rails would hring his pals and they would spend the day in digging him out. One hunter in his hurry to get to Cullen, laid down ills gun. When Iip went bach for it it had sunk out of sight, lie thought t uHen was In to his neck from Hie noise lie made calling for help, lienee his hurry. The party got separtod and Cullen managed to do the usual and sink through the mud. He was bogged in pretty tight. He called and called and called. He shrieked, whistled, bellowed, hallabalooed, clamored, roared, shouted, yelled, squeaked, squealed, squalled, screeched, hooted, cheered, grumbled, moaned, whined, piped, yaupeii and finally ran down Into a low mumble. But no aid came. lie finally dug himself out and dragged into camp. His companions in answer to his questions told him flicy hadn't heard his calls. "You're all deaf,” said Cullen, "I called loud enough and long enough to have been heard In Omaha!” Pat McGill, \\ isner, Xcb., heavy weight wrestler, may get a chance to wrestle in Wichita, Kan., soon, according to word received from the Kansas town. McGill is being taught the grappling game by Earl Caddock, former champion. "Jackrabbit" Apperson, former OmaJia Buffalo outfielder, is batting .341 in the winter baseball league in San Francisco. He plays with the Foresters. Stanton and Tanner, with Fairbury and Lincoln, respec tiveiy, last year, are batting .340 and .333. The Penn relay games will attract a large field of entrants this year. King George is considered one of two of the best rifle shots In the world. Colgate will open its 1921 track campaign on April 25. The Mari|iiette university athletic officials have scheduled four Inter sectional games for next season. The stake program for the first 1924 Grand circuit meeting at North ftandall track at Cleveland, June 30 to July 5. inclusive, totals $20,000.

Thorpeian Five Suffer Setback The Thorpeian Athletic chib will be greatly handicapped in Wednesday’s game against the Beddoo Clothiers basket ball team, due to an Injury to llarry Haykln, star forward of the Thorpeian team, who probably will l»e unable to play. Haykln tore a ligament In the middle right hand finger early in the season, which necessitated his sitting on the side lines. Saturday during a practice scrimmage lie tore the same ligament and now the Injured finger la swathed in bandages. Kuecter or Pegelnmn probably will replace Haykln.

The Southmen are due for some stiff scrimmage the greater part of the week. The new combination, that of Gitts Clark playing guard and Smith play ing forward, In Clark’s position, worked to perfection last Friday night against Thomas Jefferson of Council Bluffs, when Smith sunk three goals and gave South a victory. This same combination was changed the following night, when the Pack ers lost to Nebraska City by a 25-to-ll score. Nebraska City lads had little trouble in going through the Packers for many shots. Coach Patton expects to work ex tra hard with his cagers slso because of the fact that both of the week end's games are with good out-of town teams, the Packers playing Geneva this Friday, and playing Sut ton at Sutton on Saturday night. Omaha Bowlers Place in Monev w With the annual tri state bowling tournament at Sioux City scheduled to close today. Omaha pin tumblers are sure to gather In their share of the purse monies.

I Bill Killefer Expects Chicago Cubs to Be Up in Standings of Big League Manager of Club Points to Eight Rookie Pitchers as First Sign of Strong Team. HEY have l.pen ™U saying lately that the Chicago Cub* hav e not strengthenefl tlieir * battle to any ex extent for the 1524 pennant struggle. BUI Kil lefer. Cubs’ man ager. denies the . allegation. Kille fer points to eight rookie pitchers .who will lie tried out tills coming spring, namely to wit: Wheeler and Osborn, purchased from Wichita Falla. Tex. Fierce from Topeka. Kan. Collins from Rockford, 111. Bush from Greenville. Miss Ja cobs and Blake from B'-atllc. Stmif fer, recalled from Hartford, Conn. He baa every reason to expect, even from the hard law- of averages as applied to btlsh pitchers, to get one or two valuable men from this list. These twlrlers, asserts Klllefer. have been tried and found exceptional by approved minor league test. Klllefer points with e»pe<ial pride and confidence to Grigsby, the outfielder recalled from Wichita Falls. The Cub pilot expects Grigs by to become a star. Again. Grimes, the great first baseman of 1921, was ill most of 1923, has regained his health, and will be an added power at bat and field for the 1921 Cuh machine. They also have Ace Klliott, the best fielding first baseman flint ever drew on a glove. In support Grimes. Keen and Kauffman, those young stars of last year, will, so Klllefer firmly tielieves, sh"w great Improve ment this year. And last, but most Important of all. Hollocher, the wonderful short stop, has recovered Ills health en tirelv and will lev with the team Ills presence alone will add 30 pei cent to the team's general strength and In field effectiveness. "Huh!" snorts Klllefer. "Not strengthened. Indeed: we ll show 'em." Drake.

Will Hi1 Succeed Kerr? T1JK announcement from Barney Burch that he got yhortstop O'Neill from the Washington Americana must mean that Johnny Kerr, who played the position on the Omaha club last season, will not be back this coming season. Burt h wasn't i|iiile sure a couple of clays ago whether Kerr would he bark with the Buffaloes this season. Detroit, the club that owns Johnny, hadn't informed Barney just what they intended to do witii Kerr. The owner of the Herd Isn't l iking any chances. He is going to have a shortstop on the job in spring train ing regardless of whether the Tigers want Kerr or not. However, Burch seems to lie under the impressio that Ty Cobb will < all Kerr, although he F.iys he han't received any word from the Tiger chief. 'Die deal whereby Shortstop O’Neill comes to the Buffaloes also sends Byron Speeee, underhand pitcher of tlm Omaha club, to the Senators. This announcement wasn’t received very well here. Speeee was one of the best hnrlers in the league last season and everyone not only liked his play ing. but liked him. 13ut selling baseball players is part of a club owner’s business, and more than that, is Justice to the player himself. We don t believe there is one fan in the Western league or the Nebraska state circuit who doesn't wish Speece all the success In the world. A baseball player Is like any other human, he likes to go ahead in his chosen profession. All Omaha fans hope Barm* takes the money he received for Speece and gets another liurler or two like him. \>k Schlaifer Wr r. I« ■ we've enjoyed in a long lime, the result of a letter from a wild and wooly” fight fan, who, of course, failed to sign his name, tak ing us to task for what he terms "panning Morrie Schlaifer during his ■ areer in the ring,'' He also adda that were going to be sorry for what we have said about the "Kid," goes on to say that we have also tii' i-n time out to take i few shots at Ace Hud!-.ins ind that In the future we should not hand so many posies to Billy Wells .but Instead distribute them among such lads as Schlaifer and Hudkins. We can’t help but think that the writer must he a newcomer in our midst, for if ever two fellows got a fair shake for their white alley, not only from The Omaha Bee, hut the other local papers as well, they are Schlaifer and Htufkins and it the fellow who didn't have gump tion enough to sign his name to list letter would lake the matter up with these two fighters he’d probably lie surprised o learn that Morrie and Vce will tell him that no two men have ever be>n afford- ! cd fairer treatment all around. _ n Still Hoofs in Winners hilo speaking of Jockeys it would not be an Inopportune time to say a few nice things about "Daddy" John Singleton. Of 1 "irse. *o'd John need* no introduc tion to the racing fans of Omaha. Imleed he is as well known as the ever Rmillng Charley Gardner or thal flagrant pipe that adorns the face of the popular racing secretary, Charles Trimble, "Dadd.'" John started donning the raring silks when most of the pit's,,i, t -day riders were taking nourishment nut of a bottle and today after countless years of serv ice, he is still able to boot In a winner at a race track like Tla juana. It was only tin- other day •hat John and l)otr«r >o»t heat a field of |3 at this Mexican track, and it must have been a rare sight to see tin- old man eonie through a Ini- between five horses to P,en tU'lly win by a length and a half lint that isn't half of It.

The club is said to have outbid Tex Rickard for the fight. i IIE power of the heavy weight punch is such that only a champion, actual or potential, lung survives the wear and tear of competltiin. Carpentier, for ex ample, never was the same man after (he body punching he took from Dempsey. Fulton was soften ed up in a few fights to sir’ll an extent that the wind of a missed punch would drop him. It is a question whether the strafing given Gibbons at Shelby did not weaken him for some future opponent, and it is confidently ex pected that Firpo will not arise with the samp readiness in his next fight with Dempsey. But they never re alize this until the referee counts in, if then. Pickens Riding Star at Havana Jockey Arthur Pickens, the riding sensation at Havana this" winter, is one of the real veterans of the sad dle. He has been riding consistently each year since he adopted the saddle as his vocation in 1907, 17 years ago. Though he was never classed as one of the top-notch riders, he Is a little better than the average jockey and his best year was in 1919, when he rode 123 winners out of 621 mourns, finishing tenth on the list of riders of that year. Some of the boys he was competing against that year were Vic Powers, now training: George Archi bald. now In England: Jimmy But well, Eddie Taplin. still in service: Mat McGee, now riding in France: Jack Howard, training for M tyor T. C. McDowell, and Eddie Dugan, who attempted to come back ,ast year rid ing 11 winners out of 113 mounts. Pickens' next beet year was in 1916 when he rode 110 winners. 103 sec onds and 93 thirds out of 570 mounts. His leanest year was in 1911 when he rode only 01 winners out of 352 mounts. <diaries McClelland \\ m>.

The ptk era from tit. Louis arc kolnj; u p •gainst their stiff est teats this week in the course of which they meet the un defeated Kansas Jay hawkers o n th9 latter s court at Lawrence. Kansas may Ire handi capped by having to play the Blue D.ainonde of the Kansas City Athletic < lub the night before. That will be a hard gartie provided • Fog" Allen sends his Jayhawkers in to win and hard games take things out of a basket ball team unless it gets an op portunity to rest. That fact is borne out by Ne braska's showing Friday and Satur day. Going into the Creighton game Friday night the Huskers were doped to lose. But shooting witli everything they had the Ne braskans won, 25 to 21. Saturday at Drake where the Huskers were expected to come through handily, the Bulldogs pulled a big surprise and won their lirst Valley start, 19 to 15. It is that sort of thing that almost defies explanation but the writer saw the Creighton-Nebraska game and during the last five minutes all ten men on the floor were burned out. They were "woozy" from fatigue. It is possible that the Nebraska quin tet was unabi to gain tack sufficient strength to battle Drake and judging from the long lift of substitution; Coach Kline was forced to draw hea vily on his reserve hst. This week Nebraska plays three games, starting Monday night at Grinned: going to Columbia for a game with Missouri Friday night and tjp St. Louie f r th-ir first crack at Washington. Saturday night. Oklahoma invaded Iowa last week aDd pulled out with a string of three victories. The Sooner* have been coming stronger all the time. And if Kansas Is handicapped by its Eame Tuesday night with K. C. A. the Biker* will not be ma terially helped by a game on the same evening with Oklahoma on the Sooner's floor. No team ha* beaten tile Oklahomans yet on their ! home court. The victory of Nebraska ovei Crelgf « week from a Nebraska standpoint. "It was the t-est -ante of basket I all I ever saw. ' Coach Kline stated after the game.
