Tennis Bums
On Way Out
Says Allison
AP »M«fratuife *K
AUSTIN, Tex.—Take it
from Wilmer Allison, the old
Davis Cupper, the days of the
“tennis bum’’ are about over.
'Allison ought! to know. He
played the game with the world’s
best in the time of Tilden and
other tennis immortals and has
kept a close connection with the
sport thrbokh the. years, y
The man who was national
champion and was on the Davis
Cup team for nine years^now
sells airplanes. But he still gets
; in his licks on the court.
He was Jreferee of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
tournament in Austin and observed
that while; tennis players of today
are probably no better than 2!>
years rigo there are many more
good players than there were then.
The junior program is responsible,
Allison says.
! The nfle that prohibits a player
from: tajeing part in more than
eight tournaments with expenses
paid haa cut down materially on
the* !jt e ri nis [bums,” Allison de-
clares. This:doesn't include play

though the expense money he got
did not meet the actual jeost,”
Allison observes. “That was the
reason for the ‘tennis buraJ’l He
chiseled On the, side—playeid ex
hibitions and in unsanctioned tour
naments, took money for this arid
that. He was supplied all the
equipment he Wanted and would
sell it. I remember one, instrince
of a 1 man offering a player $100 if
he could sink a six-inch putt On
the golf course ahd told him if he
mised Tllj give you another

“It actually cost me $5,000 to
play tennis 12 years,” he com
mented. “But I think it was a
fibod investment. That’s pretty
cheap to get to go all over the,
wotld. I visited 20 countries.
In Allison’s day the playera
were allowed a maximum of $8 a
dfiy to live on, plus traveling ex
penses. Now thriy are allowed $12
a day. 1 Even $hat, Allison says,
will not meet the actual expense
but it won’t cost nearly' as much
from a fellow's own pocket as it
did when the stars could play as
many tournaments as they wanted
during a year.
“In other words, the Incentive
to be a tennis bum has been
removed,” Allison says,
