PRO TENNIS HAS
FIRM HOLD
ABROAD
Professional Tournament Be-
ing Arranged At Wimbledon
for $1,000 Prize

4 Tennis has always been the most
keenly amateur of all sports. but
the professional is beginning to
understand that the net game
offers a wide and lucrative gate
to fame. Thousands turn out to
watch a golfer like Hagen on the
links and an. equal /. number of
thousands are eager to see the
amateur tennis king, Bill Tilden, in
action. Why wouldn't they pay to
see professional tennis cracks bat
tie for worlds championship?
Nearly every tennis club in the
United States has a. professional.
but they are, in the main, instruc.
tors. They have the theory with
out great ability. In Europe there
are professionals whose playing
ability would crowd that of our
crack amateurs.
The English pros, cognizant of
that fact, are arranging a tourna-
ment at Wimbledon for the
championship and a first place
prize OF approximately 81 900. This
is doubtless. only a single step in
the program. 1t is believable that
within ten years professional ten
mis- will carry lot of sporting
weight.
Why not2 Two decades ago the
golf professional was almost a
rarity in the United States, and
now his name is legion.

Dempsey-Will fight. What q
happy bird the, Peerless Leader
was that night. He was with Bar
ney Oldfield, and whether the
pair won or not we never found
out, but they wore trick hats
and coats without sleeves and
were about as noisy and happy
a pair as could be found in a
days travel.
The last time the writer saw
Chance was the night before the
Dempsey-Firpo fight in New
York.
Chance was then in a Broad
way restaurant with Johnny Evers
and Joe Tinker. 1t was the first
time the famous trio had been
together in ten years. They
were extremely happy, spinning
yarns of the old Cub days. They
fed and they smoked, and when
the waiter laid down the casualty
list at the finish it went from
Tinker to Evers to Chance.
