feturns were gratifying. all about the Finnish Relief Fund.) So we were talking about professional tennis and how professional tennis cannot exist without the novelty appeal. All of us know what professional tennis amounts to. It is a group made up of reformed amateurs, amateurs who are taking money, openly instead of back of the grandstand. Not all of us know what “novelty appeal” means, specifically as applied to profess sional tennis.
Here's the Way It Goes
Certainly we don’t know ourself for sure. We are just guessing. Our broad, loosé interpretation is that it constitutes a new face, an added starter in the old ranks. A Vines, a Budge or some other oustanding amateur (even a Miss Alice Marble) suddenly will decide to become a
forthright dough taker and then the cash and carry game has a shot in the arm. There is much ballyhoo, there is a start in New York, there is an extended tour. Presumably the tour is a success. It should be. We Shope always that it is. We like to feel there is a

We see no great future for professional tennis. We wish we could. It must have an outstanding, color-

Isn’t Such a Hot One After All
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, June 11—It has been said for some time, mostly Ry the experts, or the people Who know nothing at all about the subject (and please do not include us out) that professional tennis cannot live
This is apropos of the recent professional tennis activities conducted in the guise of a war benefit at Forest Hills, the Wimbledon of America. It was a nice gesture, it was nice tennis and we hope the net, material (Note to everybody: We have honestly forgotten
ity that Emily Post must have gotten new ideas out of. You have read from time to time about “tennis bums.” If our memory is correct some tennis official on the Pacific Coast coined the phrase. It was a good phrase. We wish at the moment we could remember the gentleman’s name. We'd like to tell him to his face, or rather in type, how wrong and how artificial he was, as well meaning as he might have meant to be. Our memory is that ‘he had a lot to do with tennis out there, also that he had a lot to do with starting these youngsters in tennis, the very same youngsters he-later decided were tennis bums. What is wrong with a guy or a gal who becomes quite good .in tennis? Nobody has called Joe
DiMaggio a baseball bum. And he
came from~ the Pacific Coast and as a kid he was a loafer. All that we read about Mr. DiMaggio is that he is one of the best in baseball. Well, we started out to say something and said practically nothing. That's like us. Just when we get to the end of our space we remember ‘what we wanted to say. Now all together: ““‘Who’s a bum?” . . “Williams!” . . . Ladies and gentlemen, we don’ t deserve such praise.

Ben Davis’ Roy Pearson and Ft. Wayne North Side’s Bob Cowan, two of the state’s outstanding high school runners, are going to meet again—this time at 220 yards in the junior division of the State A. A. U. track meet Saturday 'at- Delavan Smith Field. The two were matched in the # recent state high school meet in the 440-yard dash and Pearson came home in front after a spectacular finish. His time for the quarter then was 50.3 : seconds. Although both * have plenty of zip, Pearson and Cowan run an entirgly different style of race. Cowan, also ‘a basketball star, is a so-called orthodox sprinter, with a fast start and a steady pace. Pearson, on the other hand, saves his stuff for the stretch and has a tremendous “kick.” What promises to make the race more thrilling is the fact that the 220-yard dash at Delavan Smith Field is run around one turn. The time for filing entries for the meet has been extended until tomorrow by James B. Hosmer, Indiana A. A. U. track and field committee chairman. The ‘deadline formerly was last night. ; Among the Hoosier stars already entered are Mel Trutt, former Indiana University distance runner; Ray Alsbury, Butler'e “one-man. track team” and William Walker of Indianapolis, winner of the 100-yard dash in last year’s event. Hosmer also reported that the Meteors Club of Marion was entering five competitors.” These include
