HE TELLS THE STARS
REMARKABLE LAD NOTED BALL BAY Sorry to hear that Eddie, Ihe hall hoy, won’t he coining to Wembley with Fred Perry and Vines. Renmrku'hlc lad, Eddie. No one knows his other name. He is such a good hall boy that he is travelling with the Vincs-Perrv outfit on the complete circuit. I know a soccer team (Wolverhampton) who travel a cobbler, and Hagen and Henry Cotton, among other golfers, tour their own caddies, but a ball boy on the pay-roll of a lawn lenriis circus is a new one. Eddie does all the scooping up of net balls—an artist at the job—and rules the boys at each end of the court with a Mussolini-Hitler air. Sometimes lie tolls Perry what’s wrong with his forehand swing. 1 asked why Eddie did’t sign with the rest of the outfit for England, and the ■ reply was: “We couldn’t afford bis terms.’’—L.V. Manning in the Daily Sketch.
