"TURN PROFESSIONAL"
ADVICE TO DON BUDGE
NEW YORKj August 25,
George Xott, American tennis professional, writing in "Collier's Magazine," advises Budge to turn professional at the end of the current season before his money-making powers dwindle through defeat. Lott warns Budge that memories are most difficult to live upon.
He declares that he heard Mr. Dwight Davis, donor of the Davis Cup, say: "Tennis has given me a great deal of enjoyment, but sometimes I wonder if the Davis Cup was a good thing. It has become too big and requires too much time from young fellows who ought to be thinking of the . serious problems of life. I wonder if it has been an. asset or a detriment to sport."
