'DAVIDSON'S SHOE STORE DIAL 725-3312 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' TENNIS BOSSES in charge of the famous Wimble- don tournament in England, have announced that they would like to make their world-wide tennis classic a wide-open affair this year, not merely for "amateurs". Such a drastic step from the tennis capital is bound to raise a few eyebrows. Such truly amateur sport as crick- et, soccer at the lower levels, rowing, etc., haye long been accepted as sports fundamentals in Great Britain. But there have been changes recently, not the least of which was the huge increases in salaries for the top- flight soccer players. Now, if they have a tennis tour- ney that embraces both the real amateur along with the known professional performer, it will be interesting to see what the reaction will be at Forest Hills. SPEAKING OF MONEY... a U.S. Federal judge has ruled that Ingemar Johansson owes the U.S. treas- ury department over one million dollar in income tax. If they make this one stick. . . . then it would appear certain that Ingemar will not be doing any more fight- ing in the United States, Once it gets to that figure, as Joe Louis found out. . . it's just about impossible to get even or paid up. Once again, here is another glaring example of the need of some arrangement where- by professional athletes, especially prize fighters, can pay their income tax responsibilities . . . befote any- body else gets their hands on the gate receipts. Here in Ontario, they collect their taxes where professional events are involved. . . right at the ticket wicket. Why couldn't income tax be collected the same way? Per- haps this is not as simple as a straight tax levy but even a generous estimate would help take the sting out of it for those who have to pay up. 31 SIMCOE ST. NORTH | ' Your Drying Worries - Gone Forever --WITH THIS-- INGLIS SUPERB DRYER Low in Price! High in Quality! SPORTS BRIEFS:-- The death of "Mal" Elliott, pop- ular member of the Oshawa Curling- Club, who was buried this afternoon, struck a sad blow among. the members of the local curling fraternity. "Mal" was one of the keen but quiet players who enjoyed the game, got a great deal of fun out of it and was one of the club's hard-working members, who was right in the thick of things back in 1954 when the large group of volunteers helped build the new clubhouse, with hours of work, in the evenings and on Saturdays.
