SPEAKING OF BY FRANK GETTY

By Frank Getty (United Preus Sport Editor) The Rajah’s Roomy A number of unkind things have been said about Rogers Hornshy since he joined the Chicago Cubs but no one ever accused the champion batsman to failing to take his baseball seriously When Robert Lewis, who arranges the rooming list for the Cubs, was considering where to place Hornsby for the gr eatest good of all concerned, he was approached by the “Rajah'' in person. “1 have no preference in roomies as far as baseball talent is concerned," said Hornsby, “but 1 want to room with a la.l who goes to bed before 10 o’clock, v ho doesn’t lie awake reading t tie confessions and doesn’t walk and talk in his sleep.” Lew;is assigned him to a room with Wo dy English, who retires at 8:30 and sleeps like a babe until 8 A. M. So Rogers should have no cause for complaint on that score. An International Tournament A publicity man sends in one about a golf tournament next month at Shawnee with' contestants from New York, London. Paris, Berlin, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Warsaw, Madrid, Tlexandrla, Sao Baulo, Buenos Aites, Montevideo, Sydney, Brisbane. Batavia, Bombay, Osaka and points East:Tihe contestants will travej a total of 500,00 miles, he says, and will cross oceans 66 times. The catch is that it is a tournament to be held by overseas executives of the General Motors Export Division

It did so on the condition that he turn over to the Federation all the money he received from C. C. Pyle for playing professional tennis in the United States. , Why shouldn't Pyle get the money back, instead of it going to the Federation? The French are inconsistent in their amateur rulings. Feret was a professional, and he should have had to wait five years without tournament tennis before obtaining reinstatement. Hut he went to the Federation and offered to hand over the salary he had received from Pyle, which was quite acceptable to the French authorities. Thus far, Charey Pyle hasn't been heard from. On the Other Hand In contract to this rather liberal attitude towards professionalism is the case of Jean Borotra, one of the finest sportsmen as well as one of the best tennis players of Fiance. Merely because a film entitled “Her Cardboard Lover” had a character named Borotra, a tennis star, the real Roratora proceeded to court and caused the entire pioductio nto be halted. Jean claimed that his amateur standing might be damaged in case anyone misunderstood and thought it was he who was acting in the film or benefiting from the use of his name.
