Don Budge Has!

F Underdog Role | For Pro Debut

Begins Series of Matches With Vines Tonight at New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 (U. P.) —For . the first time since his star rose out of the West, ‘Don Budge takes the court tonight as the under-dog in a tennis match. He shoots for hard cash instead , of silverware in his professional debut under the lights of Madison Square Garden, and a thin edge in the odds goes to the tanned, gangs ling young man who will be his opponent, Ellsworth Vines. They're whooping this one up as the match of the century, and the funny things about it is that the slugging battle between the two hardest hitters in the game may live up to the advance ballyhoo. The pressure will be on Budge. He has to prove that he is as good indoors -as he is outdoors; he has to prove that he can hold his game together when he runs up against a slam-bang hitter who can pelt ‘sm across the net like a shooting star; he has to get used to yelling and booing, for all the niceties of tennis etiquette are ignored when the pros have at each other. It’s Old Story for Vines For Vines, who has toured almost as much as the late Sarah Bernhardt, it’s an old, old story. He’s accustomed to the lights, the crowds and, what's more important, his game is geared to top-flight competition. : Win or lose ‘tonight, Budge is on his way to earning $75,000. Promoter Jack Harris has guaranteed him that much for a national tour, and Budge’s take may go to $100,000 if the crowds everywhere are as large as tonight's. He has an option on a percentage. The crowd that will fill the Garden probably will pour $48,000 into ' the box office on a price scale ranging from $7.17 to $1.10.

"In Go Friday

21-Year-0ld Youngster Is * Fresh From Beating ‘Solly Krieger.

y By HARRY GRAYSON _ Sports Editor, NEA Service: : NEW YORK, Jan. 3—Billy Conn makes his New York bow in one of the more attractive matches . . . a -|10-rounder with Freddie Apostoli at ‘| the Garden Friday night: - Apostoli expresses plenty of confidence in himself in accepting this one. The best Conn could promise to do was 168 pounds at 2 o’clock, which: means that hell weight at least 170 when they square off. Apostoli wouldn't be himself at more than 163. Apostoli is perhaps the most formidable middleweight who has come along since Mickey Walker, but this observer's choice under the circumstances is Conn. :

Not a few students of style who

have seen both boys believe Irish Billy packs the weapons with which to win. . : ; He’s Fast and Cagy

He is fresh from beating Solly Krieger, who disputes Apostoli’s claim to the 160-pound championship, and any 21-year-old kid who can whip the Brooklyn veteran in his present form has to have considerable. y Krieger wouldn't be surprised if Conn repelled Joe Louis in another two or three summers. The tall Pittsburgh lad has the frame of a heavyweight, and should come in at 190 pounds in two years.

He is a fine standup boxer with |? fast hands and feet and cagy|l

enough to offset the powerful Apostoli’s spurts. Nova Offered Match Joe Jacobs offers Mike Jacobs and Lou Nova an attractive match . . . with Tony Galento in March. Joe Jacobs evidently has given up hope of getting Galento anywhere under the promotion of Herman Taylor of Philadelphia. Galento is vastly more suitable as a foe for Nova. than Max Baer or Jimmy Braddock. ] Two-Ton Tony is to appear in Newark, Jan. 9; tackles Buddy Baer in Chicago, Feb. 3; and Abe Feldman in Miami's Orange Bowl, Feb. 22. Solly Krieger is paired with Ben Brown, the Atlanta middleweight, on the latter card, which is to be staged by George R. K. Carter, formerly the associate of the late Tex Rickard. There have been those who suspected that Joe Jacobs was picking spots for Galento, but the little man with the big cigar now plainly is ready to let the Jersey barkeep step

out. He insists that Galento would “hit and break in two a tall fellow who stands as straight as Lou Nova.” The match is one of the mighty few the public would really like to see.

Seventeenth of a Series By DON BEATTY World All-Events Champion Single pin spares . . . the 4, 7, 6 and 10 . . . give some bowlers a lot of trouble. The No. 10 probably is missed more than all the others put together. ; : : If you miss it outside or inside, it is a case of the wrong angle for ‘the ball. ; : If you roll across the alley from left to right and the ball drops in the gutter, you are taking too much alley and should move more to the center. Ha If you always miss it inside, you| should move to the left side of the alley. The same applies to the No. 6 pin as well as the 6-10 combination, except that you have a greater margin to work in. Such single pins as the 4 and 7 should never be missed. Use your strike ball and place it a few .inches farther to the cen-
