NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1926, FRENGH NET STAR | ALS0 TURNS PRO. Paal Peret, Filth in Ranking,| Follows Lenglen's Foofsteps | Parls, Sept. 10 UP — Paul Feret, | France's fifth ranking tennis player, has folowed the trail blazed by Suzanne Lenglen and given up his amateur standing. With Suzanne he will make his professional de- but at a tournament September 19 | organized in Parls to ald the dis- fgured veterans assoclation, called | “Broken Mugs,” provided, as the| lawyers put the French tennis foderation permits amateurs to play against g0 to the United S zanne under the ms C. C. Pyle. | Feret's defection has made all the more of & stir in the tennis world because of the fact that hls father, Ernest Feret, the treasurer of the Racing club of France, is one of the most ardent leaders in amateur sports. The reason advanced by Feret for leaving the amateur ranks is to stop the denunclations and hypocrisy of “plebald” amateurs. Tn discussing “pure amateurism’ with newspapermen he sought to give the idea that purity was rather relative. He implied that most any star in one way or an- other profited by their playing through technically observing the rules that govern amateurs. His viewpoint iIn this respect is raising a storm of protest. | Paul Champ, a leading sports- | writer, taking up the cudgels of the amateur in the Figaro, denles absolutely charges of commerclali- | zation of tennis and of big profits| made by clubs at the expense of‘ players. “Feret ought to know better (hnn‘ anybody else, since his father 1s| treasurer of the Racing club,” says | M. Champ in his article, “that| profits when there are any, which | is not always the case, go entlirely | for the good of the sport, serving | usually to create and keep up| grounds for games which do not| bring gate receipts.” Mile. Lenglen and Feret expect to sall for the United States im- | mediately after the “Broken Mugs" tournament. It is whispered the “troupe” will be completed by the addition of other coverts to pro- tessionalism, or ‘“renegades” as| they are called in some circlea. STRIKE IS ENDED [ | —— | OMeago Theater Musicians Return | o Work After Employers Agm: to Wage Increases. I Chicago, Sept. 10 (A—The strike of 3,000 musicians in 400 Chicago movie theaters was called off early | today. An agreement reached after | a lengthy session between union| officers and exhibitors provided for | an increase in pay of $4.60 a week for two years, with an additional | increase of $3 a week for the third | year. | The settlement, under which the | musicians will return to the jobs to- ady, came after four days of nego- tiations, during which Chicago movie houses and vaudeville thea-| ters showed pictures only at a re- | duced price. After negotiations had been in progress for several hours | last night, agreement had been | reached on all but one point, the| length of the new contract between the exhibitors and the union. Sev-| sral more hours were required to settle this point. | STAMPEDE IN MOVIES “Outlaw” Hormes Run Wild During Filming of War Charge And Sev- eral Actors Are Hurt. | Ban Antonio, Tex., Sept. 10 (P— Fred Kohler, member of the cast of “The Rough Riders” being fllmed hers, received a sprained leg and body bruises and 15 “oxtras” were less seriously injured today, when | two Texas bronchos turned a cav- | alry charge of 1200 men into a wild melee. | As the cameras recorded the | charge, the two “outlaws” began to pitch and kick.
