ADVICE TO BUDGE. “TURN PROFESSIONAL.” NEW YORK, Aug. 25. George Lott, the American tennis professional, writing in Collier’s Magazine advises J. D. Budge to turn profession at thee nd of the current season before his money-making powers dwindle through defeat. Lott warns Pudge that memories are most difficult to live upon. •, ~r Tlio writer declares that he heard Mr Dwight Davis t%ay: “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 thinkof the serious problems of life. 1 wonder if it has been an asset or a detriment to sport.”
