Pros Make Amateur Tennis
Grow Sillier Every Year

30 once dga1n-anQ as uSual-the
professionals will open their season
with match for the world cham
pionship. The pros always have
the greatest players in the world.
AS soon as the amateurs develop
someone of the same class, he be-
comes pro. That is why amateur
tennis grows sillier every year, and
will continue to do so, until the
day Of open tournaments.
We will not go any further into
the folly of amateur tennis at this
time. Pretty soon somebody will
write siX-volume book covering
Is per cent of the subject.
When Bulge left the ranks of the
unofficial pros he set them a prob
lem in Davis Cup defense
Its going to be tough to hold the
cup" he admitted. Bobby Riggs is
playing fine tennis right now, but
he and Mako will need more help
than they're apt to get"
Bulge omitted to point out that
the German cup team will be
stronger this season than last

sprung from a Nazi bastille, plays
for his country or not. Following
this years precedent. the fuehrer
has anschlussed himself two more
tennis players, George Won Metaxa
and Roderich Menzel.
If Metaxa, the Austrian, and
Mcneil, the Czech, fail to win for
Germany in 1899, Hitler can ansch-
luss France and help himself to the
promising Bernard Destremeau. Or
he can borrow Australia and use
Johnny Bromwich in his lineup.
There is no doubt that A. H., as the
boys around the Reichstag call him,
has got hold of a very fair system.
Meanwhile. it will be Bulge VS..
Vines for the championship of the
world, and because I like to stick
with the champ until somebody
knocks him down, I will hazard a

Intensive Scouting Poseng of Talent Held College Football Menace
From the
Press Box
Must Beat Him on Level, ,
Bulge Warns Net Pros
By JOHN LARDNER,

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-J. Donald
Bulge ran a hand through his
bright pink hair and allowed that he
would defend the honor of profess
sional tennis to the best of his abil-
ity.
The honor of professional tennis
Is not exactly at stake, but now and
then during the last few years you
may have heard it said that the best
of the pros-principally H. Ellsworth
Vines and F. John Perry-did not
always do their damnedest to win
on alternate Tuesdays and Thurs
days when there was more paper
than money in the house and Vines
had stomach ache or Perry had the
hives.
On their first tour, these two rover
boys finished pretty nearly even in
a long series of matches, one guy
winning one day, the other guy the
next. It didn't seem to the public
as though any two tennis players in
the world could be as closely matched
as all that, with so long a time at
their disposal to settle the matter
one way or the other.
Vines Proves Superiority
When Chips Are Down
The public was right. Vines proved
1t the following year, on the second
tour. He whipped Perry pretty much
at will. This time young Ellsworth
had an objective-the rich privilege
of meeting Bulge in 1939-and he
didn't mean to be baked. He wasn't.
Perry has all the vanity and personal
pride Of the average big-league ten
mis- star, but he admits today that
Vines has his number, and that is
something he wouldn't admit under
five relays of rubber hose if he
thought otherwise.
j. Donald Bulge says he means
to avoid all possibility of misunder-
standing IN his own tour with Vines,
which begins January 8.
There won't be any Monday
Tuesday, Alphonse-Gaston stuff"
he announced firmly at his train
Ing quarters, where he has cut down
his ration of Goodman and Dorsey
records and is going to bed every
night at 9-well, call it 10. IF I
can 60 out there and beat Vines IS
matches in a row, I'll do it. Pro
tennis is strictly on the level, and
there won't be any jockeying around
for bigger and better gates. The
best guy is going to win.
j. Donald does not claim to be
the best guy. In fact, he comedies
the possibility of Vines winning
the first IS matches in a row, or the
first 20. But nobody will be more
surprised than j. Donald if that
happens. The big, pink power hitter
is drooling confidence from every
pore, as they say at Johns Hopkins.
II know I can beat ELY when he
hasn't got the touch" he said.
when he has got the touch, no.
body in the world can bet him.
But there's more margin for error
in my game than there is in Vines's.
He has to be absolutely right.
"The lights won't bother me, or
the indoor surface. My game is
about right. I'm training. and I'll
stay that way. I haven't got any,
thing to beat but Vines this time.
Vines is just the best there is, that's
oil

HOW TO MAKE THEM

Note the picture above. Wash day
isn't unusual. but here 1t produced a
splendid picture. The picture taker in
cluded only the essentials-the girl,
the wash. and the line. He made his
picture dramatic by selecting an un-
usual viewpoint-down low, with the
camera pointed upward so that the
tive background. And he chose a
good time for picture; when the wind
was blowing the young lady's dress
and the clothes on the line. It's an
excellent example of what can be ac-
complished by using your head" as
we'll as your camera when taking
snapshots.
You can use your camera just as this
award winner did. Limit your pictures
to the essentials, don't include too
many details, and make sure that your
picture idea is properly expressed
those are the main points.
Some picture takers are uncertain
about how to get properly-exposed
pictures, SO here is simple rule: with
subjects such as the one above. on
sunny days, use lens opening fill with
1/25 second shutter speed; or f.8 with
1/50 second shutter speed. or f.6.3 with
1/100 second.
So, you see. it isn't really compli-
Gated. Get out your camera now and
start shooting. One of the pictures
you take today may turn out to be q
prize winner.

LENIENCY SHOWN
 DISTURBING TRIO
Men Arrested for Racket in House After Owners
 Warning

Three men arrested after creat- ing an alleged disturbance at their home last night won leniency from Judge T. E. Conway in city court after two of their number had argued that it was all a misunder- standing.
 James J. Leonard, 52, and Cecil Maloney, 35, of 5S Savings street, were given suspended sentences, and Ralph Maloney, 32, of the same ad- dress, received a nolle.
 The arrests were made by Patrol men Albert Dereskevice and Joseph Collins after complaint by Robert Montgomery, an employe of the Waterbury Savings Bank, which owns the building where the men live.
 Montgomery said the three were shouting loudly and failed to heed his warning to be quiet. Ralph Maloney admitted pushing Mont gomery from the apartment, but said it was because he did not know Montgomery and thought he was a stranger entering the place. Both he and Leonard gave the court lengthy speeches, Maloney making his in Southern drawl, explaining that he had come here from Ten nessee only month ago.
 MT. Montgomery's nerves must have been jumpy," said Leonard. There wasn't any disturbance but there may have been a few works spoken"
 Judging from what I've heard here this morning." said Judge Conway, I'm sure that there was no paucity of words"

Wants Press Represented

Burgess Joseph Nygren will ask that the press be admitted at the executive discussion, by the board of warden and burgesses, of the appointment of a police chief. This discussion is scheduled for Janu- ary 10.
 MT. Nygren said he feels the pub lie should know what is going on as 1t is the public who pays the bills. He expressed confidence in the press.
 Often in recent years newspaper men have been admitted to execu- tive meetings but have bn askd to class statments where personalities are involved as "off the record. In this respect, the board of warden and burgesses differs from the board of education. The latter board has frequently held private meetings at which the press were not repre- sented. Occasionally such meetings are held before an appointment is made, and there were at least two private meetings for discussion of the junior high school proposal, made last fall.
 At the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses Tuesday night, the board voted to hold an executive session for discussion of the police chief appointment, on January 10. Warden John J. Sheri- dan suggested it be an executive meeting and at that time, Burgess Nygren suggested a public meeting, But when the motion was put for the executive session, there was no dissenting vote.

Naugatuck, Dec. 8.--It was not iecessary to discharge 25 WPA work CTS here, it was learned today from Warden John J. Sheridan. The state WPA headquarters had ordered the local total of WPA employees be cut by 25 and it was thought that this number would have to be let go. However, 12-day period was given as a notice for such workers.
 But in that time 25 WPA work CTS here got jobs in local factories and the total of such workers here therefore had the necessary reduc- tion without some being discharged, the warden said.
 The warden is pieased that the matter worked out as it did. He con- ferred with a state WPA official and was able to get the acceptance of the present total.
 However, the WPA is not hiring any more workers and just how long this will continue is not known here. It seems certain to last for three or four months and possibly longer, despite the possibility that more WPA men here might find jobs in private industry in the meantime.
