He has added to it by capturing the
Wimbledon, the French and Austria
liam titles as well as a 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 a place in the tennis hall
along with Tilden, Little Bill John
ston, Vincent Richards, Maurice
Mclaughlin and Ellsworth Vines.
This amazing youngster has sem

On the basis of his showing in the
recent Davis cup matches, some
critics expressed the view that he
would have trouble handling either
Vines or Perry in the event he be-

him said he was apparently off his

tired or had frightened up thinking
how important it was for him to

Fortune Ahead

So young Don Bulge, the son of
poor, Woodworking 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
500, 200, 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. No sensible objec-
ton to such a course has yet been
raised.
The red-head has given all he has
to tennis. He has re-established
American prestige in international
competitions by winning the Davis

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

IKE Alexander the Great, Don
- 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 a 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 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 $100, 900 his first year
as pro and has been a consistent
mOney-maker ever since.
