1937 Sports Review—
Budge Brought Back Cup;
Spurned $100,000 Pro Bid
By JERRY BRONDFIELD (Sixth of a Series) >
NEA Service Sports Writer -
J. Donald Budge, who scored triumph after triumph, and then amazed everyone by spurning professional offers which would have earned him in the neighborhood of $100,000, completely dominated the tennis
Warr
season of 1937. So remaarkable were the Oakland lad’s accomplishments that almost by acclamation he became the outstanding athlete of the year. From a national standpoint, the greatest thing the Californian did
‘was to lead the United States to its
first Davis Cup championship since 1626. Pacing Budge in his major appearances was the brilliant Gott‘fried von Cramm of Germany, who in ‘addition to being the gangling ‘and freckle-faced red-head’s final ‘foe in the Davis Cub play, also was his opponent when he bagged the ‘Wimbledon All-England and American singles. Budge’s dramatic late rally to capture the All-England Jong will be remembered. ~ Budge wound up the year by ‘packing off to Australia for an ex“hibition tour, which is liable to have - detrimental effect on him later ‘on. He shoved off for down under ‘with a bad shoulder, and: wise ten-
nis heads claim he should have
stayed home to rest.
Riggs Wins Davis Cup Berth : Also deserving of mention for his ‘year’s activity is Robert L. Riggs of ‘Los. , who rose from No. 4 ‘ranking in the national scale to
.yunnerup to the great Budge. While
was abroad, the 20-year-old won the Seabright, Longwood, ‘Southampton, Eastern Grass Court, and National Clay Court cham-

The dark dnd dainty senorita collapsed . following the match, and had to be carried to the clubhouse. .Alice Marble, defending champion and favorite, was eliminated by the youthfug Dorothy May Bundy, but remains at the top of the Ameri-| can .singles list. She is closely followed by Helen Hull Jacobs. Recommended, in the order named, as the first 15 women by the ranking committee of the U. S. L. T.
