RICHARD PLANS
 FOR PRO TENNIS He Would Match Stars and Thinks All Hands
 Would Profit z

NEW YORK. April 3.--(By Asso- ciated Press) ,--As an outgrowth of the sensational controversy aroused over the prospective disbarment from anna teur tennis ranks of William T.. Tilden. the national champion. and other play er-writers. professional competition among group of stars. possibly head ed by Tilden, may be developed in ,1e25.
 syTtis prospect took definite form to- day when it was learned that Tex Rick ard, noted promoter, has under consid- eration a plan to stage professional play next year, when the new player writer rule of the United States Lawn Tennis association goes into effect, and seek the services of Tilden and other stars, including Vincent Richards, young Davis cup player. Rickard expressed the belief that pro- fessional tennis would prove popular provided 1t attracted players of the top ranking class, and indicated he would be willing to promote tournament or exhibition plays either indoors Or out doors. i12
 Richards, although his exact status uu0er LQc pldyeF-WTlteE rue -udS uOI yet been determined, admitted he would consider becoming a professional if he Is disbRrred from amateur Tanks and expressed the belief that the pro- fessional game might hold forth un- usual opportunities. Those viewing professional tennis as favorable and profitable venture point out that fl might have a development similar to that of professional golf, which a few yeafy ago gave no, indication of grow ing into the proportions 1t has reached today. Positions as instructors might also make 1t more attractive. On the other hand, critics of the plan assert that the court game would not have the same box-office appeal and that 1t would decline as soon as such present. day stars as Tilden and Richardsafailed to hold their positions of competitive supremacy.
 Meanwhile, additional developments are expected in the plAyer-writer con- troversy, the last definite effect of which has been to bring about resigna- ton of Ttlden from both the Davis cup; and Olympic teams for this year. While the U. s. L. T. A. plans no other steps at present, 1t was said today there is possibility the dues- ton of the player-writer regulation may be gone over again. ~ft
