William Tatem Tilden II can beat Fritz Mercur, onetime Longwood Bowl champion. So, too, can Helen Wills, as she did in an exhibition match last week. Yet Mercur rose to no great heights last week in the Eastern Turf championship at the Westchester-Biltmore Country Club to trounce Tilden in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3.

He selects sound young trees, makes a pattern of holes in the trunks and roots, injects 75 to 100 gallons of a secret soluble aniline dye. For four days the tree sucks up the dye. On the third day afterward the leaves begin to turn pink, violet, blue, red; the wood becomes tinted. After two weeks the leaves...
