ADVANCE SALE.
NEARS $4,000
FOR DON'S DEBUT
BY LAWTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 G.N.SO.
Ellsworth Vines, the big racquet
guy from the far West, arrived
here today for his January 3 pro-
fessional tennis match with j.
Donald Bulge, the other big
racquet guy from the far West,
and found to his delight that the
advance sale already is close to
1000. That's approximately
twice what they had in the till at
a corresponding period prior to
the VineS-Fred Perry unveiling in
1897.
Thus a gross gate of nearly
$50, 900 is being built up at tops
of $7.70. Vines and Perry drew
$50, 900 gross, but the tickets were
scaled to $3.50, causing such a
beef among the customers that
none will have the audacity to
try it again. That $7.70 isn't ex-
actly a bargain basement price,
but it is a little better. anyhow,
and from where Promoter Jack
Harris sits the show looks like a
Madison Square Garden Seuout.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
This all should 60 a long way
toward conSoling Bulge for loss
of his amateur standing, for it
looks as though instead of wind
ing up with the measly $75, 900
guaranteed him by contract he
will get some percentage whacks
and wind up as wealthy as Vines
and Perry. He probably will do
that anyhow, as a matter of fact.
He is still young and has years
of competition before him.
He has been practicing here
every day since December II, fore
going meanwhile Christmas with
his family at Oakland, Cal, and
practically everything else in what
obviously is determined attempt
to get into shape, although he
probably will lose if professional
tennis is strictly on the up and
up, as majority believe it to be.
And why does anyone think that
Vines can take Bulge?
In the first place Vines Is
playing at least IS per cent bet
ter now than he did as an anna
teur and so is Perry and all
others who have turned profeS-
Sional," according to Promoter
Harris. "Top flight players just
naturally improve when they
constantly meet each other and,
moreover, Vines is the more ex-
perienced by considerable mar
gin on the canvas indoor courts.
NO REAL COMPETITION
"You can also say" Promoter
Harris went on, that Bulge has
had very little real competition
in the last two years-but he is
going to get it now"
AS for Vines, he lost his open
ing professional match at the
Garden to both Bill Tilden in 1884
and to Perry last year, the first
being at Vines own unveiling as a
pro and the last when Perry was
inducted into the ranks. He may
go ahead and lose again.
However, he quickly changes all
that around and if Bulge ends the
tour of 60 or 10 cities still in front
he will have proved beyond all
doubt his right to greatness, for
Vines wound up against Tilden
with 81 victories against 10 de-
featS and was 40 to 80 in front
with Perry when they last met.

But when Bulge quit the old
