Announcement

When Harold ("Red") Grange first began to romp under the managerial eye of C. C. ("Cold-cash") Pyle, and U. S. suspected that. Mr. Pyle was a sucker. Later, when professional football showed signs of success they realized that Mr. Pyle was a businessman. Then Suzanne Lenglen, French tennis ace, turned professional, along with other tennis notables. People thought that Mr. Pyle showed acumen. Until last week, however, few knew that Mr. Pyle was likewise a dramatist. The scene was the great dining hall of the steamship Paris, ablaze with lights, aglow with chatter of sporting bigwigs. William Hanford ("Big Bill") Edwards, the Peter Pan of Princeton, was, of course, toastmaster. Down the majestic stairway, slowly into the room came Vincent Richards, star, "logical" successor to "Big

Bill" Tilden, able Davis Cup defender. Besides him walked his wife. C. C. Pyle then glanced here, there, rose, announced: "Ladies, Gentlemen . . . Mr. Vincent Richards, greatest male tennis player in the world . . . is now a professional." An orchestra blared.
