Fate Of Pro Net Tour

Madison Square Garden court to-
night to try to beat down the grea.
Don Bulge and rewin his old posi-
ton as the first tennis player of the
world.
The match, the first of a string
that will take the pair careening
through the armories and drill sheds
of the land, is more than a contest
between two Of the best players in
the world. 1t is test match for
professional tennis Unless they pro-
duce a fast, hard fought match to-
night the tour is doomed to slim
crowds and Simmer gates
Bulge took on ELY Vines. &C
knowledged boss of the pro game, in
his first tour and beat him % times
out of 80 matches.
AS the tour progressed there were
mutterings and in some cases loud
hollers that Vines seemed a bit
bored by the whole procedure So it
is up to Perry and Bulge tonight.
Reports of the tepidness of the last
stage of the Budge-Vines cross
country duel and Vines ineptness
the last time here have hurt the
gate
The advance sale is just over
$4,000, compared with the $47,OO0
advance before Bulge licked Vines.

19-year-old lad, is dead. the result
of participating in the District A. A.
U. ring tournament. Amateur box
ing will dry its tears shortly and
continue. In the meantime, let's
examine a few facts.
Boxing is sportdom' most brutal
business. Supervised strictly. it
still is brutal. It is the essence of
sport reduced to its most vicious
form. Boys will be boys. they say
and boys will fight on street corners,
they say, so why not take them off
the streets, put boxing gloves on
them and pretty it up bit?
The fundamental idea behind
amateur boxing, we suppose, is to
reduce juvenile delinquency Boys
clubs, and virtually all of them in
clude amateur boxing among their
activities, undeniably have served
that purpose. At every opportunity
boys are warned crime does not pay.
But has anybody ever taken the
trouble to explain to those same boys
what very probably will happen to
them as the result of prolonged
boxing? Probably not.
drunkenness No Myth.
Shutting, caulihower- cared, num-
bling, f1at-nosed creatures aren't the
products of a fiction writer's
imagination. They are familiar
figures in boxing circles. Punch
drunkenness is no myth.

character construction, but 1 have
