Ellsworth Vines has evened the road tour tennis series with Big .11 Tilden at three matches all in a short power show which included a spray of baffling drives and a breath-taking service good for 17 aces. Tilden utilized his contract privilege to shorten the match.

Vines' victory was on scores of 6-3, 3-6 8-3. Vines appeared to be at top form, but for Tilden the crowded space, the lights and some of the linesman's decisions added nothing to his poise. Big Bill halted the bounding dynamo from California in the second set, when games followed service until the score reached t.3. Deep drives and a passing shot which caught the younger player coming into the net turned the tide. VALLEY AMATEURS Results Thursday Brownsville Elks 59, at Harlingen 27.

An increased gathering of fans cheered the battlers into action. All of the figtots, even down to the first preliminary, drew spontaneous cheering from the fans, and main event was a fitting climax to' the card. Canmona appeared to be a better boxer than Wymore, and he made the aggressive Valleyite miss frequently. However, he usually came out second best -when attempting to belt with the bunch-muscled La Feria, scrapper. The fight was action from the first to the final bell- tap with Wymore, who has yet to stage a bad scrap after five years of campaigning- in Valley rings, piling in and forcing the battle.

Hardin, slender built, used his long reach to full advantage in flecking out a tanalizing jab and crossing with a Jolting downhill right. Zavala was the aggressor and sopped up a lot of punishment while inviting Hardin to slug it out with him. The Brownsville boy was warned several times for low blows. He took a seven count at the fag end of the second round Young Valdez, a new Brownsville feather prospect, looked good in kayoing clever Ted Tello of Laredo in the fourth round of what was billed as a six-rounder. The local battler lacked polish, but he plenty of stamina ana aggressiveness.

Vadez scored two knockdowns In the third round prior to the knockout in.the fourth. Openers Are Good Syd Sherry of Lockport, and Beta Avalos of Brownsville went four slam-bang heats to a draw. Their action was mostly at infighting. The card got off to a good start when Lupe Luna, young Brownsville lightweight, hammered Kid Villa, another local all over the ring in a four rounder. Whatever he might have lacked 'i boxin'g ability, Villa amply wade up through gameness.

He stuck it out the full distance in of the fact that he was floored -eight times. The fans gave him a big hand. The management announced that Bill Cabler, who has been training under the direction of Ben Freudenstein for three weeks, would meet a suitable opponent next week's card. According to his handlers, Cabler is in better shape than he ever has been for a Valley scrap, and he is gunning for matches with Hardin and Ike Aycock.

Bob Carter, veteran of three years campaigning in the Valley circuit had an off night, but he managed' to ring up 31 points to lead all scorers for the evening. "Dog" Ramsey hit the basket for 19 tallies, while "Cec" Bean was only two points to the rear. "Too Tall" Barnum, who is also pretty good with the driver, putter all clubs in between, got off to a good start with the Mercedes quint by ringing up 12 points while Bean rested on the bench.

Barnaul, who was a strong cog in the powerful McAlleu Monitors two years r.go, is a new addition to the Robin squad.

Azarella came to this section from San Antonio billed as an opponent for Knowles, but he soon discovered that the Legion arena does not do business in that manner. "Show us," the management said, and Azarella promptly polished Simon Salinas of Donna and Dick Wymore of La Feria. Impressed oy Jimimie's wprk, the pits him against Bruno Friday night, and if he gets by the "Kid," Knowles is next on the program.

Azarella, Bruno will be meeting a fighter who is the opposite of Knowles. The San Antonio phantom is the type which fades away before punches, and he may decision Bruno if he stays the 10 rounds. The "Kid" is well aware of this fact, and will doubtless attempt to finish Azarella off with a savage opening attack. Bruno will have to hurt Azarella and hurt him bad early in the fight in order to gain much of an edge over the phantom. Salazar cannot afford a loss to Azarella at this time, particularly in view of the fact that Knowles won a hairline decision over Salazar last week.

The Toy Bulldog of the Alamo is anxious to take the top spot of the Harlingen ring away from Knowles, and a quick victory over Azarella would be a start in the right direction. The semi-final will bring together Thomas Glenn of Brownsville and Ike Aycock of Donna, two of the Valley's most promising middleweights. Glenn has been asking for Aycock while the Donna boy has been clamoring for Bill Cabler. Jimmie Scarmoza, who was to fight Aycock, is out of the picture because of a suspension. Aycock should supply lots of action while it lasts.

The other bouts include: Johnny Monona, Ft. Brown, vs. Kid Galveston, San Benito; Popo Alvarez vs. Kid Lopez. The card gets started at 8:30 Friday in the Legion swatator- ium.
