MILLERS 1 HENS PLAY TWIN BILL it from El Paso, Texas, receives, to the British contender III FOUR SETS Big Bill Still Proves Master in First Clash ot Pro Title Series. By Allan Gould.

Asoclatrd Freia Sports Edltar. New lork, May 9. tPj Big Bill Tilden, still the old master of tennis, trounced his youthful rival, Vincent Richards, Saturday night in the first their series of matches for the world's professional tennis cham pionship. The scores were 6-7, 6-0, 6-1, 6-3. The tennis lesson that Richards threatened to hand his one-time tutor turned out to be a boomerang as a gallery of nearly 12,000 spectators in the big fight arena watched Tilden outplay and outgeneral the 28-year-old New Yorker with an ar tistic display of court tactics.

The larg and quite fashionable gallery roared In appreciation as Big Bill, after a shaky spell that cost him the first set, settled down to administer a thorough licking to Richards. The outcome was never In doubt after Tilden took complete command of the proceedings lh the second set. Big Bill's cannon-ball service was close to its old time championship standards as he clicked off a total of 14 aces. Most of hi amazing total of 40 placements were registered by the old master's cross-court backhand. Tilden's driving anil control were so effective he not only kept Rich ards from making any kind of stand at his favorite net position but had the younger man almost constantly on the run.

Richards' famous volley was conspicuous by Its absence and his service after the first set was more of a liability than an asset. Vinnle seldom got his first ball In and this was a big factor In keeping him on the defensive. Tilden turned the match Into a rout by winning 13 out of 13 games in the second and third sets and he successfully repulsed Rich ards' gallant attempt to rally. In the final set, Innie scored a break through Big Bill's delivery his second of the match to square accounts at the outset ot this set, but the spurt was short lived. Richards made some marvelous recoveries, but was effective only in such flashes as he showed In thrlie ace-lng Tilden to take his own service at love In the seventh game.

Billy Arnold Wins 100-Mile Auto Race Langhorne, May 9.WP) Billy Arnold, leader of the 3-A automobile racers In 1930, won the 100-mile race on the dirt track here today.

Copyrlrht, 1 9:1 1 by Inlreraal SerTlre, Inc. Pimlico Race Track, Baltimore, May 9. Jockey Georgie Ellis' wife bustled up and planted a big kiss on his perspiring forehead, the vice president of these United States, and the governor of mil Maryland shook hands with him, and with young Mr. A.

C. Bostwick and with Big Jim Healey, but the cheers of 40,000 men and women wert all for a horse called Mate at the finish of the $50,000 Preakness thii afternoon. The horse called Mate had just upset the turf world by licking the mighty Twenty Grand and all the other three-year-old equint stars of the east, bursting suddenly out of a huddle of horses a hundred yards from the wire to whip Twenty Grand a length, with Walter J. Salmon's Ladder half a length back of the hope of the Green- the American league ahead of the Cleveland Indians. The Redskins were toppled from the perch they have occupied for some time when they received their second consecutive defeat at the hands of the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 1.

Lyn Lary, McCarthy's young shortstop, provided a big share of the punch in the Yankee assault by driving in six runs. Lary drove a homer with the bases full and a triple that accounted for two more tallies. Two big innings accounted for most of the New York scores, the Yanks pushing over five in the seventh and six in the ninth. Roy Sherid pitched a fine game for the Yanks up to the seventh Inning. Then he was driven from the mound as the Sox scored seven runs before the second man was retired.

Slams in the 440, half mile, and two-mile provided a winning margin for Michigan over Minnesota thin clads here today, the Wolverines amassing a total of 89', points to 45 '4 for the Maroon and Gold. The track was a quagmire as a result of long continued rains, and consequently the match failed to produce a single record performance. The high and broad jumps, pole vault, and shot put were held Indoors. Srhelfley and Munn shone for the Gophers, taking two firsts apiece to share high point honors with Eddie Tolan, Michigan's diminutive sprinter. Schelfley's victories In the hurdles were distinct upsets as he bested the Wolverine ace, Hawley Egles-ton, by clear margins.

The Gophers took six first places to nine for Michigan, four of the Maroon and Gold Initial posts coming In field events. Wallfe Hass In the 440, Currell In the two-mile, and the Rasmussen brothers In the half-mile found the competition too steep and allowed the Maize and Blue to score slams in these events. Michigan took the lead at the out set, Tolan edging out Captain Johnny Haas In the century, with Campbell a stride behind. The time was 10 seconds flat. T.

Rasmussen took second behind Wolfe In the mile, and Michigan added considerably to Its total In the 220-yard dash when Cap tain Ham allowed Campbell to pass him In the last 10 yards. Tolan won in 22.3 seconds. Munn heaved the 16-pound ball for a distance of 46 feet 9v inches to win the shot handily. Dillner pieced third behind Goldsmith. In the high jump, Hackle cleared the bar at six feet i Inch to defeat Noyes and Ga- fill to Michigan.

Hass could do no better than tie Dougal of Michigan for third In the pole vault. Out of doors the Gophers fared a bit better, Munn winning the discus and Dillner copping third. Holle placed second In the hammer by vlr tue of Cox' 143-foot toss. In the (Continued on Following Page.) Huron Trackmen Victors in Meet Valley City, N.

A stable hand was leading Mate away, bundled up In a dark blue, red trimmed blanket while the kissing and the handshaking was going on, and he was back In his stall by the time Vice President Curtis started making a speech presenting a silver vas to Mr. Bostwick, noted young amateur rider and member of the swaggerest of the Long Island hunting sets.

But Mate could still hear the echoes of the cheers rambling around In the leafy green trees that shade his stall He was stepping high and proud across the Infield the last seen of him, apparently fully conscious of his amazing feat. He had to run the mile and three-sixteenths In 1:59 flat, equalling the Preakness record, to overcome a last wild charge by Twenty Grand, but he was home first with something to spare. He paid HO. 20 to a 12 win mutuel ticket, which is about $4.10 to Jl.

Young Mr. Bostwick, a rich young man In his own right, has a lot ot rich friends, and they were betting on Mate Just before the race. The place price on the winner was $3.60 and the show price $2.30. There are some ho say that Char ley Kurtsinger, the Jockey on Twen ty Grand, rode a bad race on Twenty Grand by holding him back when Twenty Grand was crying to run, and apparently paying no attention to anything else in the race but Equipoise. And Equipoise couldn't run at all.
