Ten years’ experience Located over (Brown’s Store) McCormick, S. C. Your patronage will be appreciated. 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. /!= WANT ADV.
