Long before the trainers and own

office to drop their slips in the
box, observers reduced the field to
seven starters. One of them will
be kept in the barn unless the track

smallest number of contenderS in
20 years.
There was no mud yet today al
though the forecast called for un-
certain conditions, so here was the

Budge's English reception is 60

cause it was a short time ago that
he was not only the lion, but the
entire menagerie of Wimbledon.
The United States has never sent
an amateur abroad who captured
the heart of the Wimbledon crowd
as did the laughing, freckle-face.
red-haired Californian. The center
court was always packed when he
played, and the crowd thrilled to
his winning shots and groaned witt
his losing ones.

The fact that he is still the per-
feet sportsman that he was as an
amateur, means nothing. Neither
does the fact that he is even a
greater SHOEMAKER today than he
was as an amateur champion He
is a pro now, working for a living,
and the fact that he turned to
professionalism to better his fam
ily's way of living - that doesn t
mean anything, either.
There's a laugh in Budges trip,
though. He is accompanied by
Vines, and what kind of recep-
ton do you think Ellsworth will
get? A rousing, hearty one, pals,
because Vines is travelling not as
Vines the tennis professional, but
as Vines, gentleman golfer and an
entrant in the holiest of all British
amateur events, the golf champion
ship Vines, who has been playing
tennis for money for years, will get
a Mr." before his name on the
scoreboard and will be given free
run of the club If he had ever
played golf for money, however, he
would enter the grounds through
the tradesmans entrance and gen-
orally given the delightful old
British showing around.
Ripping sort of tie-up, eh?

Fl Centre Win

Calvin Aaron, who team mates
call the Joe DiMaggio of the

vile slugger Friday and predicted
he would personally lead the Ell
Centro all-stars to a second straight
victory over Heber Packers in FL
Centro stadium Sunday afternoon.
AS certainly as the Greeks had
word for it, the Heber baseball
players had an answer for Aaron's S
boast
He won't even hit the ball"
Tex Rayburn and his Heber Pack
ers said.
Aaron retaliated with Who Is
Tex Rayburn and where is Heber
anyway and the argument ended
until Sunday afternoon when the
rival clubs from Heber and Ell
Centre will settle the issue in the
city stadium.
Nick Ellis will start on the mound
for El Centro and will oppose Tex
Rayburn, slow curve artist from
Heber.
Both Heber and Ell Centro mines
have been strengthened since their
first meeting when Ell Centro de-
feated the Packers 100.
