Budge Will Earn £50,000 In Three Years

Plans Retirement From Professional Tennis After Wembley Tourney

London, March 10.

In all probability Donald Budge will be appearing for the last time as a professional tennis player when he com- petes in the Wembley tournament next May. Such is his power as a money-maker that, at 22, he is already talking of retiring!

Budge, brilliant craftsman of the courts, has had only six months of professionalism. In that time he has passed the £15,000 guarantee given by F. T. Hunter's syndicate when they secured his signature.

On that basis Budge reckons to. clear £50,000 in three yours, andį with £50,000 put away to curn in- terest, there will be little cause for him to continue playing tennis, ex- cept for pleasure.

No-Budge tuneles that he .will quit professional shows and go toļ work!

Of course, this money has been earned. In the United States, where
