“SOME” PROBLEM
■Writing in the "Xetv York Times." John Kieran has the following bright tilt at the famous tennis champion who recently decided to go on the stage: William T. Tilden, the eminent actor who recently sailed for Europe, thinks there should be a new amateur definition to suit the requirements of a commercial age. They could sta.rt in the modern Wall Street manner by splitting the old definition three-for-one. There was some confusion when Tilden mentioned that he planned to make a London appearance in a play called “They All Want Something.” One or two listeners got the idea that he was still discussing the amateur problem. Incidentally, it's a good problem to leave for someone else to settle. Debating the amateur situation is just as safe as making a bare-handed catch of a male buzz-saw in full flight.
