shipa. Actually, it I* just another of those clubby, clannish affairs in which one of two standouts is certain to haul away the 81.000 first ( prize—with a single exception. That is. this season the sport has grown in stature for a rather simple reason. The amateur game has been all but salted away for the duration. At last count there were barely enough boys to fill the national singles bracket and they were more notable for their quantity than quality Accordingly, people who like tennis must take the pro brand or do without. The professional variety has led a harrowing existence since ('. C. i Pyle proved that his nickname of ’’cash and carry" was no mltnomer. ; It reached its gr- a test height* in the very fimt year That was back in the early twenties when thous- ‘ and* paid to watch Suzanne la-ng-len trip the light fantastic at <5 and 310 per head and went home satisfied Since then the pastime has enjoyed a number of ups and suffered through even more downs. At time* It has thrivd briefly on | barnstorming tours. On more frequent occasions these tank town expeditions proved embarrassing For Instance, the boy genius of case society. 'l«ex Thompson, dropped 125.000 on one during the winter However, he did help build up the current tournament. . He did that by indirectly proving that Bobby Riggs, the cocky, twotime amateur king, was not particularly ill at ease against the supposed Giants of the game. So when I activities open at 1 p. m.. the 32 j young, medium and old men of varied abilities will Im* out to stop Riggs and Don Budge These gentlemen seem to have the first prize money in tow already. Half of the field will be cut down without undue delay and for the flrat five of the six day* Riggs and Budge Will go through the usual mot km* while priming themselves for a slam-bang duel in the ftnafc Then, on the sixth day. they will formally meet In what shape* up a* the only really exciting match of the week Either can win and win convincingly. The two of them, with Frank Kovac* a* an added starter, repre sent the real class of the tournament. Os course, there are Wayne Sabin, Bruce Bamm, Frank Hunt | er and Berkeley Bell, but non* of these has that special something which differentiate* a good mon from a very good man. They are

Fred Perry retired in Mexico City two day* ago and Ellsworth Vine* i« now engriMsed in golf. Thus, the old guard which ruled the game for year* will be <on*pircuou*ly absent. This resolve* the compel II lon to Budge and Riggs. Don won the title two years ago and unquestionably is the most talented player in the world. However, he is notoriously lax in the matter of keeping in condition and takes on weight easily about 1 the middle. If he I* fit. he should win. If not. he will be given plenty of merry heH by brother Rigg* Riggs was case-hardetied during the lamented Thompson tour. Although a trifle small to be a great player, he I* a shrewd tactician and has plenty of homely guts. The latter quality, while not often !stressed In tennis, counte in a tough match. In a word, Rigg* I* still ' on the hungry side a* professional ' go while Budge hasn’t much to in- 1 spire him to great deeds. Tennis as a whole has been hit I harder hy the war than any other • sport save boxing, and this 16th i 1 pro title extravaganza may afford j the cash clients their last glimpse ' of top-flight competition. Even if ! Riggs or Budge should be side i I tracked by »ome John Doe in the eariy rounds, there would still be the uncanny Mr. Kovac* and be alone is worth the price.
