Just in time as the pro tour finally
Topped.
Unless our leading amateurs have
a philosophy Of matured breadth
and depth-which they are unlikely
to possess-Vines' success must be
rather disturbing.
1t may, however, help the be-
unused young men who are giving
their tennis in return for Spring
and Summer of free living and a
certain amount of public adulation
If 1t be suggested to them that
Vines probably is the greatest lawn
tennis player in the world, and as
such worthy of his bank account.
To strike fair balance as to
the value of a professional career
in lawn tennis, we would have to
examine the income reports OF
Keith Gledhill, the Kinseys, Wal
lace johnson, Bruce Barnes, Vim
cent Richards, Frank Hunter and
others who at various times have
turned mercenary.
II some one suggests that bal
ance be not struck until the in
comes of william Tilden and
Henri Cochet are included with
Vines earnings, We agree willingly,
inasmuch as the cases Of these two
players are as exceptional as that
of the brilliant young California
professional.
In other words, the fact that
the three greatest lawn tennis
players in the world today have
successfully capitalized their super
eminent ability offers no logical
inducement to players of lesser
ability to follow the trio's example
in quitting the amateur game.
1t is a cynical tendency in many
quarters to look askance at the
youngsters now occupying leading
roles in the amateur net game. But
a glance over the list Of their pre-
decessors who spent their gallant
youth in precisely similar fashion
shows that 1t never hurt them even
If it did not do them practical
good, which, as q matter of fact, it
