PROFESSIONAL TENNIS
Tilden’s Ultimatum NEW YORK, March 25. What is called an "ultimatum” was delivered to-day by W. T. Tilden, professional tennis ace, on the subject of his proposal for a match between himself and Vines against Crawford and Perry. “If the amateur tennis authorities refuse to sanction the match,” Tilden asserted, “they may ebon have the privilege of seeing all four of us in action as professionals.” He made the state rneiit after learning that the authori ties in England and Australia frowned upon his proposal. In a cablegram from London Perry favours the match; in fact, he is eager for it, saying that Tilden and Vines are both his friends and a match would be a great help to charity. “But I will not endanger my amateur status,” Perry adds.
