Speaking of Sports
Bulge Likely
To Turn Pro
Anytime Now
BY HERB ROGERS

I IKE Alexander the Great; Bon
~ Bulge has no more worlds to
conquer. This is true, at least, of
amateur tennis, for the red-topped
titan's successful defense of the
Davis cup in his recent match with
Adrian Quist of Australia, indicated
that there is no player in the anna
teur ranks anywhere in the world
who is his peer. And so career
in professional tennis beckOns.
Lucrative engagements as pro
tennis have been the reward of poor.
but deserving amateur champions in
recent years. Bill Tilden set the
style and made a fortune out of his
cross-country tours, which unfortu-
nately he did not keep.
Ellsworth Vines followed suit and
accumulated $4,000 in his first year
as a pro. He has added consider
ably to that total in the last year
or two and is now rated as indie
pendently wealthy. Fred Perry of.
England made $1O0, 900 his first year
as pro and has been a consistent
money-maker ever since.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1938-10-06
Goes Stale

Bulge has shown a variable tend
ency on other occasions but like Bill
Tilden he has always risen to the
necessity of winning when he had
to win. His experience in Australia
last winter was an example of this.
When he dediced to go on that tour,
the wiseacres shook their heads.
Their pessimism seemed justified
when he let 19-year-0ld Bromwich
beat him in some exhibition matches
and then had what appeared to be
nervous breakdown. .r
The bigwigs of the U. S. Lawn
Tennis association were censured
for sending Bulge down to Australia
where continued competition seemed
to threaten his health and promised
to cost the United States the Davis
cup later on. Bulge himself was
blamed by others for turning down
pro offers when he had been red
hot. Everybody thought long rest
would be necessary.
But this sad situation changed al
most overnight. Bulge fegained his
form and proved that Bromwich's
victories in the early exhibition
matches meant nothing, for he rout-
ed his opponent and swept on to win
the Australian lawn tennis cham
piOnship. Once again he became
king pin of the tennis world and no
tennis authority had any serious
doubts about what he would do when
the Davis cup matches came at the
end of the summer.
The likelihood is that when Don
Bulge turns professional, he will
meet Fred Perry and Ellsworth
Vines on his own terms, rising to
the necessity of winning when he has
to win as he has done before.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1938-10-06
Fortune Ahead

So young Don Bulge, the son of
poor, hard-working parents, has an
impressive precedent behind him,
when and if he makes the leap into
the professional ranks. Insiders will
give you long odds that the red
head soon will be pro. Promoters
are pelting him with offers. The
most attractive is said to be for
100000, and this, it is believed,
would be just beginning.
With a fortune in his grasp and
the example before him of other
famous amateurs who capitalized on
their popularity, Bulge would be
less than human were he not tempt
ed to turn pro.
The red-head has given all he has
to tennis. He has re-established
American prestige in international
competitions by winning the Davis
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1938-10-06

cup and successfully defending it.
He has added to it by capturing the
Wimbledon, the French and Austria
liam titles as we'll as variety of
other important championships.
He is today at the height of his
popularity-a drawing card of the
magnitude of Bill Tilden in his
prime. His feats on the courts have
won him place in the tennis hall
along with Tilden, Little Bill John
ston, Vincent Richards, Maurice
Mclaughlin and Ellsworth Vines.
This amazing youngster has a'sen-
sible yet thoroughly practical atti-
tude toward the matter of profess
sionalism.
''Why shouldn't turn profession
al and accept 100000" he asked
in the course of an interview while
back. '"That is more money than
1 might accumulate in lifetime
working at some other business. 1t
would seem rather foolish to let
such an opportunity pass BY"

Probably the biggest single factor
to improve the 1888 club over the
'36 and 81 champions was the addi-
tion of Joe Gordon, rookie from San
FranciscO-via Newark-at second
base.
Gordon is one of the top rockies of
the campaign, having. driven in
close to 100 runs and hit more than
a score of hOmers, as we'll as i'm
