* The greatest (sends Jbla,,yer ci all line,
in the estimation of Malty experts, passed
in the death of n man whose late years
were unfortunately shadowed. Whether
Big )Sill Tilden was the greatest, as so
many claim, will always' be a point of
eont'ention, as all superlative ratings
must be, But there is no question he was the greatest show-
man of all the tennis stars.
Tilden was a flamboyant, swaggering figure ill sport's 13ig
Six of the Golden Era of sport, the Roaring Twenties. Jack
Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Walter Hagen
and Tilden were figures such as are never likely to grace
the sport scene again, certainly not at one time.
And none was a greater showman ibno Tilden. Even in the
Most important circumstances he could not overcome an ob-
session that ruled him, a desire to see if he could give the
other fellow a handicap and still beat him.
Perhaps the most conspicuous instance in which this sheer
gamble came to the surface was when Tilden was playing a
Davis Cup match with the Japanese team member Shinliclzu—
a fine player, too.
Tilden, apparently through deliberate design, in the opi-
1sion of experts who saw the match,' allowed "Shimmy" to
win the first two sets and to get within match point of the
third set before turning on the heat.
'Then he began firing in cannonading fashion., and "Shim-
mray" lost that third set and the next two as well, suffering
defeat in a match that had seemed already won. The set
scores were 5-7, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1.
Tilden did the same thing in anuther Davis Cup match
but this time It was done in a fit of pique. That was in 1923
and the Australian team was the challenging group. The
matches were played at Forest "Hills.
John 13. Hawkes and James 0 Anderson were the Aus-
tralian aces. In a singles match, after winning the First set,
Tilden matte a splendid play in the second set alis return
went close to the base like. The linesman called it "in.' This
point won him the set.
The crowd booed the linesman's decision. That irked the
sensitive Tilden. But his anger took a peculiar twist. Instead
of turning in and endeavoring to beat the Australian quickly,
he deliberately threw the next set to his opponent, 6-1. It
was his way of responding to the crowd's booing. He deliber-
ately handicapped himself in order to show his contempt for
the crowd and perhaps for his opponent.
Then he cut loose. Ile poured in everything lac had. Fle
won the fourth set and the =tell in decisive fashion.
A great showman, a tremendous tennis player, he made
America tennis -conscious in the '20's, when the game was tar
less popular than now. That he could command attention in
such an era, when sportdons was populated by giants, speaks
(highly of his qualities.

thinks. Then they began to drink.
The English visitor walked to
the water's edge, scooped up the
water and drank.` It was salt.
The stockman to whom he re-
counted this extraordinary story
of sheep drinking salt -water re-
mained nonchalant about it. Pa-
tiently, he explained that the
sheep were drinking fresh water
which had welled up in the sea.
The sheep who apparently
drank salt -water made the
world's headlines sixty years
ago. They also led to the dis-
covery of a great sub -artesian
basin of fresh water in South
.Australia.
Nature's Reservoir
In remote ages there were
large depressions on Eyre's Pen-
insula in South Australia. These
great hollows filled with sand
and became a reservoir, which
to -day holds seven -and -a -half
thousand million gallons of wa-
ter. This water is pumped to the
surface and used for Irrigation
and the watering of stock.
The South Australian basin is
one of a number of such regions
in Australia—one of them, the
Great Artesian Basin, lies under
600,000 square exiles of the coun-
try —more than one-fifth of the
entire continent. The daily flow
from these artesian basins has
been estimated at about 400 mil-
lion gallons. The quality of the
water is usually fairly good.
Much of. the rain that tails on
Australia sinks through rhe soil
till it reaches an impervious
rock layer. It runs along the top
of this, perhaps some hundreds
of feet below the soil, ant: even-
tually comes up as a spring.
Off the eastern coast of Aus-
tralia fresh water wells up -from
subterranean springs and is often
hauled up in buckets by the
crews of ships.
Divers' Discovery
Natives 'of some of the South
Sea islands dive for their fresh
drinking water. They plop in,
with hollowed gourds, and kick
their way down to the bottom
of the sea. They hold the necks
of the gourde over the bubbling
spring till they are full.
Ground ice, too, sometimes
rises to the surface of the sea oft
the Atlantic cost of America
This, too, comes from submarine
springs, When . the fresh water
meets the cold sea -water, which
is below freezing point, it freezes
quickly. The ice, being lighter,
rises to the surface.
Large quantities of fres!) wa-
ter are found off the mouths of
large rivers. Over a million cu-
bic feet of water per second flow
from the Amazon into the sea,
This has been found—and drunk
—as far as two hundred miles
from the shore.
It is a regular practice of some
ships to stock up with fresh wa-
ter off the mouth of the ,4me-
nn.

Yogi Berra,
A week or so ago many thou-
sands of the citizens of Chicago
turned up at Wrigley Field, part-
ly to see a ball game and partly
to pay tribute to a character who,
at an age when most ball -tossers
are nursing dead arms and mem-
ories, still manages to do a pretty
fair chore of mound duty,
x a a
The character referred to is,
of course, Dutch Leonard who
admits to 43 years — not so old
as the one and only Satchel Paige,
but still a remarkable age for
an active pitcher.
This durable Dutehmar, goes
right ars working, in _ spite
of Father Time, chiefly because
of the simple device of throwing
baseballs with his knuckles ra-
ther than his fingers. For some
reason this style of pitching
seems to require but little wear
and tear on the heaver.'s physi-
cal equipment.
The Cubs, who acquired Dutch
sometime in 1949, might have
saved themselves 20 years of
waiting for their bull pen stal-
wart. During 1929, a year note-
worthy in other respects, young
Dutch Leonard hitchhiked to
Chicago from Auburn and
promptly applied to the Cubs for
a tryout. At the time no one con-
nected with the Wrigley Field
outfit seemed interested, so the
pitcher settled down to reaching
his destination by a more circuit -
out route. He finally got there, 12
railroad stops and 20 years later.
In between Dutch had quite a
career for himself in the Ameri-
can League. He was picked on six
All-Star teams there, being the
winning pitcher in the 1943 game.
Casey Stengel had helped to
make all of that possible by get-
ting rid of Dutch after the 1936
.seasllli. That \cls g,,'i111 Stell -
gel's d a r II, Brooklyn period,
something the Winner of four
straight American League pen-
nants does not talk about much
these days.
Such 5l,ccess as the scholarly
Leonard has enjoyed with his
l'snuckleball is attributable to an-
other American League manager.
Paul Richards did time with
Leonard at Atlanta soon after
Stengel let the pitcher go, and
it was under Richards' handling
that Dutch really got the hang
of throwing the knuckler. Rich-
ards caught the baffling pitch, or
rather he stoically stayed with it
where less courageous catchers
would b vc Isere's it up as a bad
job.
ili11001t:ly both Flicha,ds and
his knuckle -throwing buddy got
back up to the big leagues where
Dutch promptly repaid his bene-
factor by closing him out of a
World Series. That came on the
final day of the 1944 season when
Leonard, then pitching for Wa-
shington, shut out Richards and
the Detroit Tigers to enable St.
Louis to squeak by into first
place. Richards had only a year
to wait, though, both'he and the
Tigers being participants in the
winning 1945 series over the
Leonard -less Chicago Cubs.
Since going to the Cubs, Dutch
has won his way onto a seventh
All-Star roster. He set a club
record last season by appearing
in 45 games and finishing 35 re-
lief jobs.
Because of the way he works
now it seems unlikely Dutch will
reach his goal of winning 200
games in the majors. As of June
30 he was 10 games away, but
being primarily a one, two or
three -inning relief man he usu-
ally is not around long enough
to become involved in many de-
cisions. Last year, although he
worked 67 innings, Dutch lead
only a 2-2 won -lost record.
r } n
Nevertheless he should be
around helping the Cubs f or
some years. When he warms up
the knuckler in the bull pen it
still takes two catchers to hold
him.

300 AT BIRD'S FUNERAL
When a parrot was hurried at
Kanpur, in Central India, nearly
800 people were present.
Said the grief-stricken owner:
"My parrot was forty-four years
old and spoke fluent Hindustani,
Whenever friends eame to see
me she greeted them in my ab-
sence."
Following formal funeral ser-
vices, the body of the bird was
ceremoniously cast into the Ri-
ver Ganges.
