Budge Indicates
Pro Intentions
CHICAGO — (UP) — No won-
der the California carrot-top
Don Budge, hasn't turned pro-
fessional.
"They haven't asked me yet",
the world's amateur tennis
champion said glibly yesterday.
"How can I turn pro when they
haven't come around with any
good offers?"
The tall, hawk-faced star did-
n't smile. He apparently was as
frank about his amateur status
as he was fretting about Austra-
lia's chances of sneaking the Dav-
is Cup away from the United
States and the threat of little
Bobby Riggs in the U. S. nation-
als.
Regardless of whether he has
received an offer, Budge left
little doubt in his casual remarks
that he would join the barn-
stormers after this year.

Patman Thinks
Business Aided
DALLAS — (UP) — Rep.
Wright Patman of Texarkana
said today that the "expansion-
ary" legislative program passed
by the last congress already was
being felt in Texas as well as
throughout the nation by im-
proved business.
Patman, here on personal
business, was accompanied by
Mrs. Patman. They will return
today to Texarkana.
"Legislation passed in the
last session of congress is ex-
pansionary rather than inflat-
ionary and should put America
on the path to prosperity", Pat-
man said.
"The farm bill, releasing $70,-
000,000 for agricultural aid, the
appropriation of $1,500,000,000

All-Star Director
Needs Detective
To Find Players
Only One Player Signs
For Game With Redskins
At Dallas For Charity
DALLAS — (UP) — James
H. Stewart, athletic director at
Southern Methodist University
and director of the third an-
nual "dream game" between
Southwest college all-stars and
the Washington Redskins, yes-
terday was in need of a detec-
tive.
With the game only a month
away, Stewart was having trou-
bles that a good detective might
solve. Among them was the
whereabouts of Ed Cherry,
scintillating backfield perfor-
er on last year's Hardin-Sim-
mons university squad.
"Where is Cherry?" promot-
ers of the game asked when he
failed to either accept or de-
cline an invitation to partici-
pate in the Labor Day game.
No One Knows
"I don't know," Stewart re-
plied. And he doesn't know.
Nor does anyone else connected
with Texas sports.
A letter to Hardin-Simmons
brought a reply that he was
at his home in Shamrock. Let-
ters to Shamrock were unan-
swered.
Stewart wanted several grid-
sters from West Texas schools
in the All-Star lineup, and has
the unconditional acceptance of
only one, Lewis Jones, 210-
pound guard and line captain
of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Crowley, Ramsey
A team mate of Cherry, Odis
Crowell, wants to play, and he
will if he can get permission
from a professional team that
has him already under Con-
tract. The same is the case with
Herschel Ramsey, captain of
last year's Tech team.
Stewart has the acceptance of
several stars from other por-
tions of Texas and from outi
side the state. There was no
lack of boys who were more
than willing to risk their abil-
ity against the national profes-
sional champions.
