Being an amateur tennis champion

perhaps who were not so well mean

without my sanction, and their "ama-

rise to a great many of the wild rumors
that have been floating around.
I've been offered every proposition in
the world, from doing hoofing act on

been coming to me during the last year.

Of the other fellows, who naturally
thought-as did-that would play as
well as had the year before. I think,
perhaps. that we were little overcon-

But I certainly believe that every one
underestimated the strength OF the
British team. Some still do. Fred
Perry's play against France, his victory
over Jack Crawford of Australia IN our
national championships at Forest Hills
and his more recent victories on the
Pacific Coast ought to give people a
pretty good idea of what a wonderfully
improved player he is. And Bunny

tennis and If had not recognized

I had just completed what amounted
to a clean sweep Of the worlds anna

cial value of my tennis was greater

be again.
did not accept these offers at that
time because felt that wanted to
see the Davis Cup brought back to the
United States and that to abandon my
amateur career at that time would
not be the sporting thing to do even
though it undoubtedly would have been
the time that I was taking chance
of sacrificing my best interests flnan-
cially, but I felt that the thing for me
to do was to do my best to help win
that cup back for the United States.
As it turned out, I may have done
the wrong thing-not only from my
own personal standpoint. but also. per-
haps, from the standpoint Of the
United States, as I'm afraid that
didn't make much Of a contribution
to the success of the American Davis

But in the International League Buff
falo's Bisons lolled in the second di-
vision practically all season. On the
last day they slipped into fourth place
to gain pairing in the round-robin be-
tween the first four teams.
The Bisons waded through the as

though their season percentage was .494
and they were 81 games behind the
first-place Newark Bears. 1t is easy to
understand the tears and cries OF an
guish from the Newark patrons.
Much the same thing down in the
Texas League, where San Antonio
wound up in fourth place and then
proceeded to trample its rivals and
tuck away the flag in the play-of.
Houston, finishing first and being
out of that position only seven days

Columbus, playing Buffalo in the

Minor Notes.

Joseph Of the Western League, zanes-
vile of the Middle Atlantic, Baton

Northern-defeated the second half
champs for the decisions. Second-half
winners coming out on top in the final
scrap were New Orleans of the South
ern and Beatrice Of the Nebraska State
loop.
Davenport won both halves in the
Mississippi Valley and made it more
than unanimous by stampeding Rock
Island in post-season series. Green's
horo players got home early from the
Piedmont League by bagging both halves

It seems to be conceded generally,
even by those who have a black ball

that the plan did have a certain amount
of silver in the lining. 1t is agreed that,
instead of killing off interest in the last

When q fellow reaches certain point

Of business.
Has Had Great Time.
TENNIS has been my life for the
past few years-and a mighty
fine and interesting life it has
been. Regardless Of what any one may
say of me or my decision to become a
professional, no one will ever be able to
say that I do not recognize my in
debtedness to the game of tennis. No
one knows better than that If 1t had
not been for amateur tennis I would
not be where I am today.
Amateur tennis made 1t possible for
me to travel all over the United States,
to visit Australia, the South seas, and
to cross the Atlantic to Europe-ad-
vantages which probably would never
have been mine If had not happened
to be a good tennis player.
Amateur tennis has made 1t possible
for me to meet lot of fine people
whom I might not otherwise have been
fortunate enough to meet. 1t has given
me a type Of education that is much
more expensive, much more unusual
and in many ways is much more valu.
able than the school book education
that have been forced to forego while
travelling all over the world playing
tennis.

WORLDS HEAVYWEIGHT

by C. c. GALLOWAY

Primo Camera will be the worlds
Heavyweight Champion until ne re-
tires. Anyone that saw the fight be-
tween Bearcat Wright and Primo at
League park, could readily see that no
average sized citizen would ever have
a chance at the championship belt as
long as Primo Camera IS considered
in the heavyweight class. Primo was
awkward in this fight, and without
any scientific ability, but the force
and arm reach in Primo is found in
few men. His weight is not in ex-
cessive flesh. He is naturally a big
boned and muscle built man.
Bearcat, heretofore had always
been able to protect his face with his
gloved hands. Primo Camera. after
a few jabs at Bearcat's face through
his hands. discovered hat Bearcat's
scientific protection was just a little
too much for him to open a way to
get a clear cut swing or uppercut at
Bearcat's face without first hitting
Bearcat's fists. So Camera made up
bis mind that he would two-glove
Bearcat to a finish, and he mauled
away at Bearcat's face and head, by
stiking Beacat's hands, when he
would throw them up to protect his
face.
Pretty soon Bearcat became as
light as a feather. and as senseless
as a baby. Over the ropes he went
Bearcat was helped back into the ring
and anyone could see that he was a
whipped man at this point. Primo
Camera is a super-man. In. size and
strength, and muscle, and when the
scientific trainers get through with
him, he will be in a class to himself
as a heavyweight like the world has
never known before. l predict that
no fighter will be able to stand in
front of him for five rounds.
