DONALD BUDGE IN
THE NEWS AGAIN
OFFERED £20,000 TO TURN "PRO"
(By Geoffrey Simpson)
London, Dec. 29.
The writing seems to be on the wall for Donald Budge, of the auburn hair and pulverising forehand, to vacate the ranks of amateur lawn tennis players before the New Year of 1938 is out.
Repeated offers have been made tralia. Budge has been slipped the him to join up with one of the tour-largest money-down offer yet made ing professional troupes, and to them to an amateur tennis champion. all the world's No. 1 has turned a dent car; but this Christmas has brought him a bid of £20,000.
Looking as disinteresting as he could, Budge admitted the offer was good, but said he could not accept It

But great though Budge may be, he is not so great that he can turn up his nose ut £20,000. Fred Perry was paid £10,000 when he turned professional with a guarantee that he would earn another £10,000 in his first year--which he did.
Budge's reply has been likewise interpreted, and the belief is that when he has helped his country in the Davis Cup he will be ready to cash in on his talent.

FOOTBALL TREAT FOR WEEK-END Shield, League And Trial Matches
