NEW YORK, Jan. II (INS)-
Some ofthe people in Australia are
in a blooming other, while others
r quite complacent about it all
as they watch developments in the
astounding case of Frank Sedg-
man.
The Sydney Truth, one Of the
leading journals in the country
down under, reckons that Sedgman
soon will be zone of the richest
amateurs ever to WELD a rae
quiet"
In case you are behind in your
reading on tennis, what has hap
pened is this:
Seidgman was toying with the
notion of becoming a professional
via an offer of 10000 pound
sterling from an Australian pro
meter, %whereupon Sir Norman
Brookes, big brass of Australia
tennis said, according to news
paper quotes, that eve will do all
in III power to keep Frank an
amateur"
Sedgman, the Australian Truth
says, then was deluged with offers
of big jobs with sporting goods
firms and newspapers opened pub
lie subscription lists for Sedgman
and his fiancee.
The amateur offers made the
bona fide professional offer of 49,
900, pound sterling which is $780,
900, give or take a few bob, look
like Chicken feed" according to
the newspaper.
The newspaper then asks signifi-
, 1952-01-17

y cantly whether the Sedgman case
are has set a precedent which twill
ers cost thousands of pounds in the
all future to keep our amateurs am
the ateurs?"
dg- | would say the answer is OBJ
vious. No tennis bum will become
the a professional when he can make
trv mode money by remaining a ten
IAN mis- bum, and it will be up to Au-
est tralia's amateur rulers to lay it
ac- on the line.
What makes Sedgman such hot
stuff at the moment is that he is
undoubtedly the best tennis play
er in the world. The professional
