BUDGE
Writer r Claims
Pro Details All Arranged
Tennis Ace Expected to Make Bow in New York In January.
By JOT. WILLIAMS Times Special Writer .
Donald Budge had decided to quit amateur tennis and join the professionals, that all the important details had been taken care of, and that he would make his first appearance as a cash and carry player in Madison Square Garden ‘in January. ~All that still goes. Ths stuff you read yesterday about his hesitating to sign for $75,000, or $100,000, was. I am pretty sure, just. so much hooey. Budge is in no position to
‘ |quibble about the difference between
these two sums. To Budge, who has been one of the kept men of amateur tennis for a number of years the chance to pick up $75,000, right quick with no strings attached, no expense accounts that must be explained—well, figure it out for yourself. You don’t think for a moment he is going to say, “No, I must have $25,000 more.” Budge isn’t geared
of money. Besides which, he has been around long enough to know there isn’t that kind of money in professional tennis.
Nothing to It So I think you can put all the
things you have read in the last
day or so about Mr. Budge and the mysterious Mr. Jack Harris, who is
"| supposed to be trying to get him to
sign—I think you can put all these things to the common and popular practice of ballyhoo. And as long as I am writing about Budge, I will keep to tennis. Not so long ago a. correspondent wrote in and asked, all games?” This gives you pause. One day you are covering baseball, the next a prize fight. Presently you are trailing men who are trying to win a golf championship or maybe
watching the wealthy polo guys. I have been writing sports a long time, but when Jhis asked me, “What is the best of all games?” 1 can’t answer it with any
authority. The fact is I like all games, and when I say this I am not trying to be evasive. I get a great belt out of a heavyweight championship. When it comes early October I can hardly wait for the World Series to start.
Churchill Downs when the horses come out for the Derby. I almost love Poughkeepsie on Regatta day, and the Open Golf championship is something I always hate to miss. You might say this practically makes me a flag waving yokel, I like everything that isn’t so. I don’t care whether Yale beats Harvard in their boat race. My feeling about that race is, who are Yale and Harvard, and if they want to get in a boat race, why don’t they come to Poughkeepsie? I no longer have any vibrant interest in the amateur golf championship, and I know when I write this I am wrong; but just the same I don’t. This is selfish. I want somebody around I can write about. Who can you write about today in amateur golf? There is no Bob Jones, there is no Lawson Little. Who is there? Just quick now, who is the amateur champion?
Respecting the Old Boys
The older you get the more you respect maturity. To the youngsters this is senility, to the grownups it is understanding. George Wright was once asked what was the best of all games? I want to tell you what he said and I want to tell you who he was. He said~ “Tennis. It takes 10 years to develop a man into a firstclass tennis player. It requires more patience, speed and condition than any other sport you can mention. There is no other game as hard to learn to play correctly and you are entirely on your own when you play it. In baseball, for instance, you can depend, or at least hope, that the other fellow will drive you home. But in tennis you are always on your own.” Now who was George Wright? He died a year ago. Just because a fellow dies should that still his voice? Should that make him a dead number, literally? I don’t think so. They still quote Voltaire. Mr. Wright played all the games and at the age of 90, when he died, he still insisted tennis was ihe best of all games.
. Helped Start Davis Cup
As oI have said before, very few people today remember Mr. Wright, but ‘he was one of the great ball players in the early days of the game. He introduced golf in America,” he helped institute the Davis Cup in tennis—which means of course international competition. Mr. Wright was born in New York. He was the son of an English cricket player. Before the outbreak of the Civil War he was regarded as the best cricket player in the East—which wasn’t ‘much of an honor at that, because there weren't many cricket players in the East at the time. Professional baseball was just beginning to catch .on and Mr. Wright's skill as a hitter in cricket did not remain unnoticed. Cincinnati made him an offer—a very big offer, considering the time and the status of the game. :

This is a sample of the kind Bend Saturday.
By LEO DAUGHERTY The ancient Michigan’ theory, “When in doubt, kick,” has never been proved wrong. Kicking is a recognized major factor in winning or losing football games and there is a general renaissance of the art on all fronts this fall. Booters the country over are hitting the coffin corner from 45 yards*and even better. While football today isn’t a waiting game, with its high explosive offensive fireworks, a team with an accomplished kicker. can afford to boot the opposition back on its heels all afternoon and wait for a break. The Midwest is producing some of the outstanding hoofers of the year. Lou Brock of Purdue is one of them. The Boilermakers’ port side booter has unerring accuracy in toeing the oval and gets distance as well. Against Minnesota he got one away which was in the air for 70 yards and then bounced another 13. Tutored by Elmer Layden, whose silver toe once terrified the opposition, Notre Dame’s Harry Stevenson is planting some accurate, high, long ones. Sophomore Bob Saggau is another South Bender whose kicking is of the better brand. Last Saturday he lifted one 68 yards which resulted in Illinois being backed up against its own oneyard line. Le George Rettinger of Illinois, of whom both Indiana and Notre Dame have had a taste, is averaging between 45 and 50 yards with his|® kicking and has the aim and ability to land the ball out of bounds at the danger zone where: every team becomes uneasy.
Indiana Lacks Expert
Ray Carnelly, due at South Bend Saturday to quarterback Carnegie Tech against the Irish, is one of the best kickers in the East. Lack of a really dependable, consistent hoofer is one of the reasons why Indiana has only two points to show for three games. Bo McMillin
effort to get better results—Ed Clasen, Bill Bringle, Joe Nicholson and Vince Oliver. Bringle is fairly accurate, But lacks distance. Clasen gets distance but isn’t so sizzling at placing them. His worst day was last Saturday, when he averaged only 31 yards at

The punting’s improving all right, but where are the place kickers? Look over the score sheets every week and see how many threepointers you can see on there.
.Coach Tony Hinkle ‘is re-empha-sizing that he is opposed to renting the Butler Bowl for “big time” football between outside teams. ‘ To lease the bowl for the PurdueIndiana game or say to Indiana so that the Crimson could bring in Nebraska or some club of that caliber and draw a crowd bigger than at Bloomington, Hinkle contends, would cheapen Butler. - He was looking at the thing, it sounded, from a business standpoint. “We won't give up our Yocstion if I have anything to do with it,” he told the Downtown quarterbacks yesterday. “If we ever do get a good team, one against which we could bring in teams like Pitt or Alabama, we will hold the whip over the situation in thé state.” Hinkle, incidentally, termed his current eleven the poorest Butler has had in six seasons. He was a guest along with Gaumy Neal, who, showed movies of the Butler-DePauw

Times Special FRANKLIN, Oct. 19.—The Franklin Grizzlies have been forced to hold mild practice sessions this week after being badly battered by Evansville last Saturday. A hard, dry field, coupled with a smashing Evansville offense, left the
Grizzlies with many minor injuries
—bruised elbows in particular. However, no new men were definitely added to the long list of major casualties which has kept several Grizzlies on the bench since the Indiana State game. At least two first stringers will still be out Saturday when the Little Giants enter the Grizzly lair.
Vic Walton, star right end from In-

Armstrong i in Training for | ~ Garcia. Bout
Mead Expects. Title. Mateh | "To Be the Toughest of Henry’s Career.
Henry Armstrong, who outgrew: the
| world’s featherweight championship ‘and discarded - it,
began serious training today for “the toughest fight” of his career—a 15-round defense of his welterweight: title against Ceferino Garcia two weeks
_|from tonight.
“This will be the toughest ght Henry ever had,” his manager, Eddie Mead, said. “Garcia was hig enough and strong enough: to sive middleweight Glenn Leé the’ we beating he ever had, and: Henry : 1 be spotting him about 10 pounds.” Armstrong, the only man “wha ever held three world titles simule taneously, began his training at Hot Springs, Ark. two weeks ago, and resumed it with a light workout in a Harlem gymnasium after arriving here yesterday. He weighed 141 pounds and expects to reduce to 134 by fight night.
Wary of ‘Bolo Punch’
Henry’s battle tactics will be a continuous close-quarter attack which he hopes will prevent the Philippine Islander from getting set to throw the deadly right he calls a “bolo punch.” “I figure Garcia is the hardest hitter I've had to face yet,” Arme
strong said, “and by crowding him all the time I hope. I won't. give
space.” “Hurricane Hennery” who electrified the fistic world by winning the feather, light and welter weight titles over a period of 10 months, presided at the stage-prop “coronas tion” of Joey Archibald yesterday, Mead, apparently more uneasy about ‘the coming battle than any of the past, said he feared Garcia more than Lou Ambers, the Herkimer, N. Y,, boy who had Armee strong groggy before relinquishing his lightweight crown in 15 rounds last summer. “This Garcia can knock you dead with one punch while Ambers is a cream puff puncher,” he said. “All Ambers does is cut a man up. It took 10 stitches to close Henry's lower lip after that fight, but it has healed completely now. His lower teeth have been fixed, and he will be wearing a new mouthpiece to prevent anything like that happeni= | ing again.” Armstrong is not expected to risk
“|either his welter or light weight
titles again before late February or March. He plans to engage in none title bouts at Cleveland Dec. 6 and in’ Los Angeles early in January.
