BARNES HALLS
 PRO TOUR AS
 AID TO TENNIS
Lists It as Important Sport Event of the
 Decade
By ALAN COoGAN

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Denver, Col - (UP) = Bruce Barnes believes the professional tennis tour of Ellsworth Vines and Big Bill" Tilden is one of the most important sports events <. of the decade. afMlS1
 Vines, Tilden. Barnes and Vim cent Richards are members of the troupe. Their campaign is ex- pected to carry them 5000 miles through the United States, Europe and orient.
 Barnes based his belief on the theory that professional tennis rapidly is gaining favor, and that the entire field of tennis will un- dergo a radical change because of this fact.
 Warns U. S. T.. IT. A.
 The Texan is frank in saying the U. s. l.. T. A. had better keep pace with the times
 Pointing to golf, one of the worlds most widely played and popular sports, for a comparison, Barnes said the day was not far off when it was going to be a dif- ficult matter for the United States Lawn Tennis association moguls to persuade the leading players to remain amateurs.
 q cant see what is the matter with an open tournament" Barnes said. A
 They have open tournaments in golf, and there's one game that certainly is held in high favor by the public. The United States Golf association makes money every year, what's more: not in spite of the pros, but with their help"
 Davis Cup Training
 Barnes has very definite ideas on the training of a Davis cup team, end they conform mainly with Tildens theory.
 While Barnes didn't come right out and say so, it was easy to de- duce he thought Tilden would be hard to beat as coach for the U. s. Davis cup team.
 The main thing coach should do with the team is put the play. CTS in the right frame of mind Barnes believes, and there is only one type of person who can dc that, he says-a person in whom the players have implicit faith. Barnes doesn't exactly agree with Tilden that Vines is better in- doors than he is outdoors, but he does know that Vines has re- turned to his form of the cham pionship years of 1881 and 1892 when there was no one who could beat him in America. Europe >or Australia.

Los Angeles-A lanky, Hebrew with a. knockout punch has revived the fight game in Los Angeles. His name is Art Lasky, who, in four years in the ring, has suffered but one loss in Al starts and scored 31 knockouts.
 A heavyweight, tipping the scales at 191 pounds and standing six feet two, Lasky is eyeing the title, and lot of fight fans in Los An- geles believe it won't be long be- fore he is knocking at the door of the championship.
 Within few months, Lasky has knocked out seven men in Los An ,eles fights. They include Johnny Freeman, Australian champ; Tom Patrick, Billy Donahue, Jack Will is, Tony Souza, Andy Mitchell and Jack Van Noy. Most of his kayo punches landed in early rounds, and the boys are calling Lasky the holy terror of California rings just as they did Max Baer when he started there.
 . Oddly, Lasky, who halls from Evansville, Minn, and who is 25 years old, started his ring career
 
 loo. Ia. His first professional fight, despite lack of amateur training, was fought there and he knocked out his man in the second round. Then, in his second ring go, he knocked out the Iowa heavyweight champion in the fifth frame. Hopes high, he and his ager-brother, Maurice Lasky. set out for new fields tO cOnuIer
 Eventually. Lasky fought TO- round, no-decision affair with Primo Camera in St Paul two months before Primo won the worlds title, and they do say that Lasky held his own.
 Later, Lasky knocked out Joe Sekyra in Dayton, o, in the seventh round, just four weeks after Joe beat King Levinsky. All in all, Lasky has been scheduled for 346 rounds in his Al fights, but dy- namite right has kept his working time down to 1SS rounds. which is something.

TODANS .4PORTAPARADE fAff$I}6aB
BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent I New York, April - (UP) - It bust doesn't make sense, my friends. mean this business of Paul Runyan, undoubtedly the class of gold right now, winding up q winter of sensational play with haircut money while Jimmy Me- Larnin, a fighting man past his prime, sits around and sneers ma 5estically at the suggestion he work 45 minutes Cor less) for $30,000.
 Runyan, in five months of steady campaigning, has gfossed $6,483. To make this amount he moved from New York to Washington. to Georgia, up, down and around Florida, through the Carolinas, all over the state of California, Texas, and finally Virginia. His work on this tour was more blazing than anything McLarnin ever showed in the ring. Fitted against top fields everywhere he went. Runyan won six tournaments, tied another, and smashed three tournament scoring records.
 And that $6.4S3 was gross, mind you. He didn't finish with that in his pocket. He has his own trans portation, food, lodging, tips, caddy fees, and all the incidentals to pay. If the whole business netted him a thousand dollar bill he's lucky.
 So what? So l.othing, except can't find it in my heart to sym ppathize with McLarnin and his 'rnanager, Pop Foster, in their titi with the New York Boxing Com mission, which has demanded that Jimmy defend his welterweight championship in 90 days or have 1t forfeited. Jimmy can sign to- morrow to meet Bep Van Klavern of Holland for $30,000. Yet he won't do it, despite the fact he hasn't lifted a glove since he won heaven knows how long ago. Ii he won't fight, get him out Of there and make room for somebody who will.
 McLarnin and Foster are balk- ing at Van Klavern simply because they would much rather meet :. Barney Ross, the lightweight champion. This isn't hard to un- derstand. In the first place, Me- Jarnin and Ross would draw more than any two little fellows since Tcndler and Leonard were mixing around. Secondly. and almost as ' important, McLarnin would hold q weight advantage of better than ten pounds over Ross. who would come in at the lightweight pound : age.
 And how Jimmy and Pop like the little fellows. They simply dot on boys smaller than themselves But let a promoter mention them giving away weight and you cant see Jimmy and Pop for the dust they raise heading toward Van' Eouver.
 x Th ev're funny that way.

satoh and his teammates were hound for England to meet the Auetralian team in the second round of play for the historic tro- phy. Both had drawn byes in the 1lrst round.
 wireless reports from the Hak- hne Maru indicated Satoh had thrown himself into the Strait of MaIacca. during a fit of depression. He was on the verge of nervous breakdown because he thought he might be unfit to play against the Australians because of illness.

Japanese champion. Hideo Nishimura and Jiro Fujikura. They are youngsters. The team was re- garded as the strongest in Japan csc history.
 Satoh, the former champion, was ranked No g among the worlds first ten" of tennis. He patterned his game after the French master, Henri Cochet. He capitalized steadiness. was an excellent vol lever. had a powerful forehand, and might havA been a world champion had f not been for comparatively weak service.
 Worthy Player
 He played at Forest Hills, N. Y., fin the national championships in 1892 and 1893. He forced Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles to five sets in 1892 before losing. On that trip he beat Ellsworth Vines, then na- tional champion, at Los Angeles Last year he was off form at For est Hills but pounded his way into the quarter-finals. Then Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. J.. downed him in four sets.
 Satoh's fiancee, Sanaye Okada. was prostrated. She too is a fam ous tennis player.
