satisfied with his teams first scrim-

"They looked O. K, said Moore, CON

news that an X-ray of Fullback Ev-

news upset the eleven, otherwise in

CASH IN, PARENTS
URGE TENNIS KING.
See No Reason Why Bulge
Shouldn't Be Paid for
Years of Work.
By the Associated Press

~ AKLAND, Calf, Dec. 22.-The
parents Of Don Budge, world
tennis champion. who wants
to remain an amateur long
enough to defend the Davis Cup, urged
him today to turn professional and
reap some material benefit from
years of hard work"
This unusual advice emanated from
the family kitchen. where Mrs. John
Bulge was doing dishes. If found the
racket star on an exhibition tour of
Australia.
When Donny returns home, his
fathers going to give him a good
talking to- Mrs. Bulge told an inter-
viewer We're going to try and con-
vince him that the wise thing to do
would be to turn professional and
reap some material benefit from years
of hard work he has put into his
tennis.
Pickup Of 100000 Seen.
WE'VE always kept. our opinions in
the background, but now. we
think its time We spoke up."
Quickly Mrs Bulge added:
I'VE may talk ourselves blue in the
face-but the final decision will be
up to him"
That decision, sports prognostica-
tors estimate, would make a difference
OF 100000 in two seasons for his bank
account. The redhead won the VIM
bledon and national championships this
year and led the American team in
winning the Davis Cup for the first
time in 10 years. :
Bulge, rated the Nations No. ath-
lete Of 1887 in poll of sports editors,
SO far has rejected professional offers.
Auto Accident Is Suggestive.
RUT, said Mrs. Bulge, whose hus-
band is printer:
Neither Don nor we are any too
well of, and there seems to be no
sense to pass up such an opportunity.
That automobile accident Don had
en- route to Los Angeles before he and
Gene Mako left for Australia made me
realize the boy should not gamble with
his future.
He hurt his shoulder, which was
bad enough, but he might have been
seriously injured, crippled so badly he
never could have played again Then
where would he be? He couldn't live
on his past reputation" ~
Many sportsmen see Bulge, who is
o. as the future travelling opponent Of
the winner of the coming seasons

Vines and Fred Perry, who kept Bulge
from winning the national and VIM
bledon titles in 1896.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 25, - The mid d-morning fire was controll- ed here today as the city faced a possibility of having its drink ing water turned off for all but two hours a day. with the rations for water already down to four hours.
 The fire was the greatest in the city's history, as the still ris ing Ohio river hit the mark of 78.9 feet, nearly twenty seven feet past the flood stage, and seven feet higher than the re- cord set in 1884.
 Cincinnati is the seventh large city under water, with sixty five thousand persons homeless.

 UNDATED, Jan. 25, Flood at a glance-Forty four are known to be dead in nine states, with fifteen more reported dead in the Frankfort, Kentucky reformatory riot, and also four at Lawrence burg. Indiana, both latter figur- es being unofficial.
 The number of homeless was conservatively estimated at all most half a million, including two hundred thousand in the Louisville area alone.
 The areas hardest hit are: Cin- rinnati, Ohio river lowlands, the state of Ohio, southern Indiana, Kentucky from Louisville to Bal lard and property damages are estimated at least six and half million dollars from fire and flood in Cincinnati, although at other points damages have not been calculated.
 The flood outlook grows worse, with the Ohio still rising at Gin cinnati, and also downstream. Government observers predict flood conditions will continue pos sibly for a month, with another critical period in May, in the Miss issippi valley, when the Ohio's crest reaches the Mississippi riv- CT at Cairo, in another ten days or two weeks.
 Relief measures, Red Cross nurses and doctors are at work in ten states, as Roosevelt set the army and navy, coast guard, CCC and WPA to aid them, and at the sametime pushed the cam paign to contribute two million dollars to the Red Cross.
