It is supposed that, somehow etho game would deteriorate, and that the would lose ea.sta ii they admitted that llieir expenses are paid in cash with a bit over. Some, it seems, are hired by the tennis ball makers to push sales. Others have arrangements with the film companies, and some write, or allow their names to appear at tin? top of articles. Why not squash the scandal, and admit that the most famous tennis players are really professionals? It is only an. antiquated prejudice in suck a. doursc.”
