still going strong after 35 years
of competition. Big Bill Tilden, the
tennis marvel, is now playing a se
ries ®f matches at service camps.
He began at Jacksonville, Fla., and
is working his way north. His
partner over much of the route is
Vinnie Richards. Tilden, at 52, be
lieves that he has played some
5.000 matches as a pro, and prob
ably as many as an amateur, in
his long career. He thinks Noel
Brown, a 19-year-old California
boy, now in the navy, is the most
likely prospect for the champion
ship class. The hardest thing to de
velop in tennis players, Tilden
says, is the nervous control neces
sary for tournament competition.
“You have to be ‘tournament
tough,’ ” he frequently remarks.
“Friendly games and tournament
play have no connection.” *
Bunting is supposed to have been
introduced to baseball accidentally
by Tim Murnane of the Boston club,
back in the ’80s. He was a swift
baserunner, but a poor hitter. One
day he took a cut at a ball in a
half-hearted way, tapping it with
just force enough to get it to the
pitcher’s box. It stopped dead at
the pitcher’s feet and before the
astonished hurler could stoop to
pick it up Murnane had reached
first. After that Murnane practiced
bunting until he could lay the bah
wherever he wanted. Others be
gan to imitate him and bunting be
came a regular element in the
game.
Volleyball is extremely popular
in Russia, for some reason not ex
plained. . . . Hannes Scheinder “the
father of modern skiing” was the
first to give each of the compli
cated turns and evolutions a name,
ar.d to reduce the sequences to a
formula simple enough for a novice
to understand. ... In a poll taken
at the naval air station at Jackson
ville, Fla., on “what sport you
would like most to have continued
in wartime,” professional footba'I
came in first. . . . pro baseball
was second, basketball third . .
then followed: boxing, hockey and
track meets. Tennis, golf, horse
racing, wrestling and softball
trailed along with pingpong and
volleyball. t v
Some of those Hollywood brawls
have classier contestants than any
one would guess. It is reported that
Errol Flynn, the actor, battled
Maj. John Huston for 35 minutes
. . . the trouble is supposed to have
started when the major objected to
one of Flynn’s remarks about a
lady ... it must have been worth
watching since Flynn was once an
Olympic boxer and the major held
an important amateur boxing title
in his earlier days.
