PERRY WINS AGAIN.

TOO GOOD FOR VINES. Tennis Now A Business With Hint. Press Association—Copyright. Cleveland, January 9. F. J. Perry again defeated H. E, Vines in the second match of their tour in straight sets, 13—11, 6—3, before a crowd of 3000 at the public auditorium. The match was reduced to the best of three sets instead of the customary five because of the tim e taken by the first set, which developed into a terrific deuce battle. “Everything I am I owe to amateur lawn tennis and the British Lawn Tennis Association in particular,” said Perry in a copyrigh/t statement to the North American Newspaper Alliance. “They took m.e in hand when my game was extremely erratic but after marriage tennis no longer meant everything in the world to me. I owed a duty to my wife and myself. I must now make teniiis a business, but throughout my career in the new sphere I will always try to give back to the amateur game something it gave me, at the same time attempting to see that my wife and family are taken care of when I am no longer able to wield p racquet. At the age of 27 the time has come when I should think of the future.”
