around the top of the amateur heap,

has been with him here for nearly

And how he had it. Not q single

FOR CUP DEFENSE
Redhead, Meal Ticket Of
Game, Banking $4,000
a Year Himself.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

SsoVSN ASSc SkVA 70 "AAtCAs
FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. IA
The double defeat Of Bobby Riggs
within weeks time makes it doubt
full now that Donald Bulge will turn
professional this winter.
Sentiment around the clubhouse to-
day, as the national singles cham
pionships resumed after a days loss
to rain. was that the amateur nabobs
would be able to induce their meal
ticket to continue with the old firm.
Up to the time Riggs began getting
smacked around, first by Jack Brom-
wich of Australia and then by Gilbert
Hunt of Washington, D. c., the feel
ing had been that Bulge had done
his full duty in bringing the Davis
Cup back home, and that he could
become an outright professional with
a free conscience.
Now, though, it is painfully obvious
that Don's departure would leave the
United States without hope of beat
ing Australia in the next Davis Cup
challenge round, and, even worse,
would deprive the great tennis cita-
dels here and at Wimbledon of their
only real drawing card.
Promise Bulge "Anything."
1t is whispered that the English
officials have told their American
mn Adorofoc fo y,ror,ieo pudno ,,roo
tically anything his simple heart might
desire, up to and including a guest
suite at Buckingham Palace next sum-
mer, if he only will remain true.
The all-England Tennis Club at
Wimbledon, 1t might be explained, is
big business, with debenture holders
and everything. The profits have been
very satisfactory for many years. With
both Bulge and Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody missing next summer, there
would be little laughter in the board
room.
The championships here enable
the West Side Tennis Club to make
up an annual deficit of around $4,000
in operating expenses and provide the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton with the bulk of the money for its
far-f1ung activities.
That is why Bulge is going around
these days with a far-off look in his
eyes, and possibly why his tennis
continues to be spotty. He still says
he has received no professional offers,
but the pros give that one the old raised
eyebrow. Budge's intimates say he
simply can't make up his mind.
Banks $4,000 a Year.
1t is estimated that Bulge, playing
as an amateur and living an elegant
life and being presented medals In for
elgn lands, is able to bank at least
$4,000 year. This represents his SAL
ary as technical adviser to a sporting
goods firm and few odds and ends.
1t isn't bad way of life.
On the other hand, Bulge can glance
at the group who went professional
before him and experience the pangs
OF doubt. Ellsworth Vines and Fred
Perry have banked some money. but
most Of the others are broke and look
ing for jobs.
you certainly lose your social DO
sition. but It's nice to have money In
the bank and be your own boss" says
Perry.
With Riggs out it's virtually cinch
now that Bulge and Bromwich will
meet In the finals, which were set up
to Sunday by the rain. Bulge should
have little difficulty in beating Charles
Hare, the tall Briton, in today's feature
match.
