Don Budge Being a serving of sports hash on another one of those spring -feverish tough-to-conoentrate days: - Don Budge, providing be doesn't suddenly get fed up with the so- called amateur ranks and turn pro, has a serious rival for world tennis supremacy In Frank Kovacs, 18-year-old Oak land. Cal., boy wonder who no body had heard of until he In vaded Florida the paat winter. There, the kid Wily Rulea cleaned B 1 ts y Grant. Gene Mako and some other big names In American tennis, and now he is one of the select. Strangely. Kovacs and Budge are practically neighbors, they both llv rng In Oakland. They work out to gether often, .and wise exponents of the racquet business claim Kovacs makes red-headed Don battle for evsry point. The youngster la tall and rangy, six feet Tour Inches worth, and weighs 175 pounds. Mark him down as the coming American cham plon. Chalk up another point for those who shout the American league Is tops and the National is Just anothet minor loop. Tony Lazzerl, 35-year-old Italian veteran, was purchased by the Chicago Cubs from the New York Yankees and to date has prac tically set the Natlorfal league on fire. Filling In at .shortstop while the Injured Jurgea recuperated. Tony has fielded brilliantly and batted like a crazy man. cracking out four hom ers before the season was two weeks old. And. he was considered all wash ed up In the American. While on the baseball subject, .t appears that a fellow named Knicker bocker has Just about shoved Joe Flash" Gordon. ex-Unlverslty of Ore gon star, out of that Yankee second base slot. Also, that Bob Feller nas really arrived and Is no longer Just a aide ah ow attraction. He beat Lefty Gomez and the Yanks yesterday. 3 to 3, which is considered something of tries. A swell story of the national pas- tmle is "Baseball Wife" in the latest Issue of Mr. Hearst's Cosmopolitan mag. Written by Bob Consldlne, New York baseball writer who knows his stuff, the yarn deals with an old timer who sees his third-base post tlon threatened by the inevitable youngster. We'll bet dollars to donuts the author lifted his plot from the major league career of Willie Kamm. Road It and see. Golf Is quite an Industry In these United States. There are an estimated 3.000,000 hookers and at leers In the country who spend an average of 54 for golf balls each year. They spend 75 cents a round for caddy fees a total of S 12.000.000 yearly for raddles alone. They piny on 1,050 18-hole layouts and thou sand of nine-hole course. Con sidering what they spend for rluh, bap, other equipment and an occasional new bonnet for friend wife to keep her consoled, ' yon renlly have something.
