Ability of Alice Marble, Budge Makes Tennis Tour One-Sided NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (INS) Like a partly bald, ace-fettered" patriarch, the revered William Tatum Tilden today led another band of professional tennis gypsies out of New York to do some graing about the country, with one problem pestering the promoters pro-moters after last night's unveiling of Miss Alice Marble as a cash-and-carry performer. They have a good show, with Miss Marble against Miss Mary Hardwick of England, and with Tllden against Budge, but where Is the element of competition T In beating Misa Hardwick 8-6, 8-6, Miss Marble seemed to be slightly pressed occasionally In her first professional match, but It will be noted that she remains un-whipped un-whipped since 1938. and has not dropped even a set In almost as long. In defeating Tilden 6-3. 6-4 In a match cut from five to three sets. Budge seemed even a little better than ever before, which means a little better than the best since Tilden's heyday, and some don't even bar the old master in ranking Budge. Thus they went last night and thus they must continue to go on this tour for the purely elementary elemen-tary reason that Miss Marble and Budge outclass their opponents. .
