TENNIS TRIUMPH FOR THE HUSSAIN BR OTHERS

OFFER OF $40,000 TO Sets From BUDGE TO TURN PRO: The C.R.C.

AND TOUR WORLD

New York, Aug. 4.

I was announced here to-day that Donald Hudge, the Wimbledon and American tennis champion, and the man chiefly responsible for the recovery of the Davis Cup by United States this year, will be offered $40,000 to undertake a world professional tour with Fred Perry' and Ellsworth Vines this coming winter when he arrives to-morrow from England-Reuter,

To Hongkong this report is significant, for it indicates that Perry and Vines at least are eonirmplating tour of the world as hinted by Bill Tilden nearly a year ago, and that, presumably, would include a visit to the Far East,

Therefore, whelber Budge accepts the offer or not, there is good reason to believe that Vines and Perry will be heading for this part of the world during the combat winter. The local tennis authorities should bear the possibilities in mind and be ready to act accordingly should such a lour materialle.

FIGHT WITH JOE LOUIS IN

AMERICA

London, July 18,

Tommy Farr, British and Empire heavyweight boxing cham- pion, who is on his way to meet Joe Louis, coloured heavyweight champion of the world, laughed a loud Welsh laugh last night when I asked him in a Transatlantic message to the Berengaria, how he was reacting to the crossing, writes John MacAdam.

"What do I care about the cross- ing." he said. "It's just like fighting Louis-easy.

"Why, they told me this morning that the ship had passed through a terrific hurricane the night before. I didn't know. I slept through it. You Iknow what a nervous case I am!

IGNORED GOOD SHOTS

London, July 23.

Something of a sensation has been caused in golfing circles by the attacks made upon British spectators by the American golfers who came over for the Ryder Cup match and played in the British Open Championship.

According to reports, Ralph Guldahl, United States Open champion, said bluntly: "The British are bad sports. It is O. K. with me if I never go back to England."

Giving his reasons for his bitter] feeling, Guldahl said, "They cheered our mistakes and the good play of the British. When Manero pinyed Cutton in the Ryder Cup they hardly gave her room enough to play his chip shots.**

Describing his match with Alfred Perry, Ed. Dudley alleged that on one ocension Perry's shot went over the green.

"But," he added, "when we

got on to the green we found that someone had pushed Perry's ball within four feet of the cup."
