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 years, and with £50,000 put away to curn in- terest, there will be little cause fori him to continue playing tennis, ex- cept for pleasure.

No-Budge fancles that he willi quit professional shows and work!

SHOT CONSCIOUS.

A good sports coach strives to de- velop a youngster's game on the lines best suited to his personality, in- physique, natural style, and stincts.

The man who says, "Hopeless, my lud. You will have to change your entire game," is a bad coach.

The most amusing thing I ever saw at dance? Well, I'll tell you two, and you can take your choice. No. I was at a small dauce party given at a pri- Yato house. It was late in the even- ing, and when the music died away waltz and the dancers had nested thero- selves round the room, there, lying in open sight in the centre of the room, lay a beautiful blue silk garter, My first impulse was to step forward and pick it up and look for the owner, but was afraid she would not thank me for my trouble: so the trinket lay where it was until a servant was actually sent will a dustpan and brush, and the offending article was swept from the fear while the guests tried vainly not sea what was going on. At another part the overskirt of one of the ladies who was dancing collapsed and hang limp and formless where it had previously swelled in triumphant pride.
