PERRY SAVES PRO TENNIS GAME
NEW TALENT ALWAYS IN DEMAND
® 8 »
ROFESSIONAL tennis uses a different pay-off system than other branches of sports such as baseball, boxing,
league football and hockey. . .
. In the average pro game a
newcomer must prove his skill and box office value before he is placed in the top bracket of earnings. ... In tennis, however, the freshmen are given the bulk of the profits and the veterans take the short end. . . . Pro racquet fans demand fresh talent right out of the amateur ranks and in Some cities will meet any price to see a star who just has Jumped over to the paid troupers. . . . And Fred Perry coms as another savior to the barnstormers. . . . It is said the Britisher receives 3714 per cent of the various “gates” on the current tour, with Ellsworth Vines, the veteran, coming in for only 1215 per cent.

INES ht had his day as the star and the 1937 tour would be more or less flat without the presence of Perry and the publicity that precedes his appearances. . . . ~ Bill Tilden used to pack ’em in the same as the English marvel is doing today, but Large William is playing second fiddle now. . . .. Vines, Tilden and others cleaned up long before Perry arrived to stimulate a waning interest. . . . And in a couple of years perhaps there will be someone
else to take Fred’s place.

IALEAH'S race meeting will crash the picture at a time when the
Florida tourist season is in its full bloom. . . .
The opening is
scheduled next Wednesday and follows a successful stand at Tropical
Park. ...
Many of the star campaigners which have been held out of
action are to go to the post at fashionable Hialeah, and Santa Anita track in California must yield a share of the limelight to the Sun-
shine State once more. . . .
The first of the “baby” races of 1937 in
Florida are to be staged and these always are especially interesting and intriguing to spectators and regular race followers who back their
opinion at the betting windows. . ..
The “babies” reached the 2-year-old
racing age on Jan. 1 and have been going to “school” at Hialeah under the watchful eyes of trainers and jockeys.

Boycott Seen Helping Louis
By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Decision of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League to boycott the scheduled title fight between heavyweight champion Jimmy Braddock and Max Schmeling of Germany was interpreted today as clearing the way for Braddock to fight Joe Louis of Detroit. James Gould, manager of Braddock, agreed to a nontitle bout with Louis in Atlantic City in February, but the New York Boxing Commission ruled it out after Schmeling made a specidl trip from Germany “to look out for his rights.” The Anti-Nazi League, through its director of publicity Mortimer Zerweck, announced yesterday that Schmeling was a Nazi commodity and that as such the league would prosecute a vigorous boycott campaign against him. “I won’t put Jim in the ring with Schmeling if this boycott goes through,” he said. “We'll take Louis instead. We have a contract but I am sure that after the boxing commission learns of the action, it will be ruled invalid.”

Five of the tallest men ever to parade before local basketball fans are scheduled to compose the start= ing lineup of the AKron Firestones, who. meet the local U. S. Tires in tomorrow's pro game at the Pennsy gyn. With Milas Shoun, Ed Garner, Jack Shaffer, Howard Cable and Wes Bennett listed as starters, the visitors will present a team that averages 6 feet 5 inches. The Tire= men, however, after a week of drilling, are confident that they can halt the “giants,” and expected to start Roscoe Batts and Harlan Wilson at forwards, Bill Schrader at center and Bill Sadler and Sally Suddith at guard positions. Batts and Wilson starred in last Sunday’s Tire victory over the Jasper Coca-Colas, when they scored 33 points, and Coach Lefty Evans is counting on the pair to match the point-making of the Ohio scoring aces, Garner and Bennett. The latter, during his three years of campaigning with Westminster College, registered more than 1000 points and is said to be carrying on his accurate sniping as a pro. The Tiremen, following the matinee tilt, will embark for Cincinnati to clash with the Redlegs in an eve=ning engagement. The Queen City aggregation is rated one of the best in the Middle West. William H. Block Co. and Kingan Reliables are to clash in a prelime inary to the local affair.
