IMMENSE INCOMES BEING MADE BY AMERICAN
MERICA may be wallowing in the lough of financial de- pression, but her coffers are not so empty that she cannot afford to heap dollars upon her sporting champions. Mr. Cene Sarazen, the winner of the British Open Golf Championship, has declared pub- licly that a fortune awaits him in the United States. He estimates that his victory menns £10,000 to him and probably a great deal
more.
His case is no exception. Since the war salaries of fantastic pro- portions have been paid to chum- pions in every branch of sport, from ping-pong to Atlantic lying. If you want to be a successful actor, Alm star, public speaker or journalist in Amerien you do not i enter these professions at the bot- tom and climb the long ladder; you merely win some outstanding Aporting event and, all in the twinkling of an eye, you can act, you can make sprechen, you can write articles.
Whilst American sportsmen are on the flood-tide of success they live in u-more lavish way than Nero ever dreamed of. Their hotel bill usually costs them £100 a week. Mr. Walter flagen, another! champion golfer, has forty suits of plus fours. Mr. Sarazen, how- ever, has hopes of exceeding this
umber. Indeed, the seconds
