Undwa'rd Selrbhis Ghaidhlig. 1.0-1.23 Virginia Wade (150,000 a year) They tell us Photographs by JANE BOWN what we can in the coverage of your own event with your own ads in effect getting huge ad. With its programmes, G-P got very high audience ratings, bigger than men's golf. They then thought Why use giii models in the So they started using girl golf-' ers 'We got the real voice, the real teeth of Judy Rankin selling our toothpaste good for sales, good for Rankin. practising a lean, hungry-looking player, who talked to herself as she belted the balls back and forth.

Oh for God's sake get tinder it. Bend your bloody knees. That's asking for trouble. Yeah, yeah.5 Her father has been an archdeacon, but there is not much hint of a vicarage tennis party in the way Wade plays. She is a hard worker and, according to Billie Jean, has a better chance of winning Wimbledon this year than ever before.

Her usual reputation is of the English heroine who, being predictably gets beaten. It was hard to believe, talking to her in her white track suit, that she was really pulling in 150,000 a year. I showed her the earnings table for the Virginia Slims Circuit a series of sponsored tournaments which put her third on the list, with a total of 26,750. She looked at the figure with distrust. Then she twigged.

'Oh, that's she said. Besides the VS circuit, Wade is a member of the New York Sets, one of 10 teams from different American cities which play the' new team tennis. Who owned the New York Sets, I asked. 'Sol said Wade. 'He is in commodities, and he's got a lot of money.

He was losing: half a million dollars on the team last year, but he always pays the cheques on She has a contract with Mr Berg, as she has, she told me, a contract with practically everybody for everything. She lives in a network' of contracts. Like other women players, Virginia Wade is concerned to minimise what Lamar Hunt's father, the oilman H. L. Hunt, used to refer to as 'the tax She is in the process of establishing herself as a UK non-resident, or tax exile.

Last year, she spent only nine weeks in the country. They tell me what ean 'They' turns out to be her agents, Mark McCormack, who look after all her contracts, ask her if a racket or shoe endorsement is my sort of and 'do my accounts.5 They also take 20 per cent of her earnings, including the she earns (without their intervention) on court in prize monev. She appeared to think that the 20 per cent bite was too sharp. She also employs a second accountant, she told me, because she likes to know what's going on. If Wade wins Wimbledon, where this year the first prize for women is 10,000, then 2,000 of her earnings will be sliced off by Mr McCormack.

My only conclusion from my visit to Eastbourne is that there must be a fine business opportunity for a sports agent who is content with 15 per cent. BBC 2 idea of the rewards that the revolution had brought. Sue Barker, from Paignton, is 20; she is just into the top class. So far this year Miss Barker has earned 27,000. Having told me this figure, my informant added a caution That is just prize money he said.

Do remember that that- only the-money won at tournaments. It has nothing to do with her contracts or for her endorsements of clothes, shoes, rackets, etc' That's the: figure they won't tell you. But Buster Mpttram hot in' the same class-as a drawcard as Virginia Wade, for instance, let alone Chris Evert is said to be getting 15,000 a year from Adidas, the sports goods people.5 My informant used the word 'vast5, to describe the new rewards of women's tennis. Billie Jean King used She smiled happily as she told me she thought they were going to get 'more dazzling The rewards are absolutely said a Colgate-Palmolive executive. said another.

said Virginia Wade: The money is I asked King (surnames are often on the women's pro circuits) how much she thought Wade earned a year, since I knew I would not have the nerve to ask Wade herself, having seen her on court looking like a tigress that hadn't eaten for a week. Probably three hundred thousand said King. She recalled the general amazement only five years ago when she herself notched up $100,000 in twelve months. she said, 'Chris Evert (who is 21) earns five times as much. She must have made a million in prize money Before 1968, there were scarcely any women tennis pros.

After Althea Gibson turned pro in 1958 she had to earn her money, not much of it, by playing undignified curtain-raisers before the Harlem Globetrotters' one-night basketball stands. The key event in pro tennis occurred in 1968 when Lamar Hunt, the Texas oil beir, bought up the so-called Handsome Eight males, some of the best in the fsr i WBttl world. From that moment, the old amateur lawn tennis associations were beaten, because they could no longer attract enough of the best players to maintain the prestige of their ovyn tournaments. The for the. men pros rocketed upwards; and once the men had started to earn the big money, the fought to follow.

And where does the money come from Let us look briefly at the activities of Colgate-Palmolive, a giant. American soap and toothpaste multinational, and their recent burst, scattering dollar bills as they go, into big-time sport, as at Eastbourne. The problem with soap and toothpaste is not making-the stuff, which almost anyone can manage. The problem is selling it, which means spending a lot of money on advertising. In 1971, C-P as they call it came under the command of an American educated at Stowe School in England, Mr David Foster, who soon began to look around for new ways of advertising, particularly through sport (he is a former Olympic swimmer).

Before long, his eye alighted on women's golf, a sporting poor relation no TV exposure, contemptible prizes. C-P reckon that the vast majority of their sales are to women, since men customarily ask their wives merely to buy shaving soap or So C-P sank money into women's golf. The key, naturally, was television. In the United States, you can go to a network and offer to pay them to cover an event; in return, you get the commercial air-time.

Then they thought: 'Why aren't we. selling the- products that appear on the TV screen during our show the golf clubs and the golf clothes So they diversified into the leisure 'field. They have been mopping up companies ever since in what sounds like a frenzy of excitement golf ball firms, sports goods firms, tennis racket firms. In C-P's sports promotions, the test is cost-effectiveness do they get cheaper advertising by sponsoring and inventing sporting contests than if they advertised in any other way A TV commercial in this countrv costs what 10,000 seconds We put up 50,000 in prizes for this Eastbourne tournament. On an average day we're getting one and a half hours' television exposure.

For our recent Colgate-Penfold golf tournament, we go.t a total of 19 hours' coverage by the BBC. It's: a very, very, cost-effective Colgate Palmolive, of course, is by no means the only big American company that finds sports promotions good for sales. Two of the others have been Commercial Union Insurance and Virginia Slims cigarettes (made by Philip Morris, Women's pro tennis achieved its breakthrough when the boss of Philip Morris put a pistol at the head of the old US Lawn Tennis Association at Forest Hills, the American Wimbledon, and said he would withdraw his firm's sponsorship of Forest Hills TV coverage if they didn't stop maltreating the women pro players. Virginia Wade has long been Britain's leading woman, and this year at Wimbledon is seeded No. 3.

I watched her Sink into this luxury settee JPEKSOJVAL, 186.00 A WRITER in a recent New Yorker, Mr Roger Angell, a baseball fan, points out that whereas in the last Depression the United States happily paid out its largest salaries to Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, it now pays them to sports stars, like Catfish Hunter. Catfish pitches for the Yankees. Last year, he signed a multi-year contract with his club for 33,500,000, a figure that surprised even himself. Mr Angell says he no longer has the capacity to be surprised by the size of the sums pouring into sportsmen's pockets; or by the irony that gigantic funds are being expended for such trivial ends at a time when parts of the social fabric are dying for lack of money. I had just finished reading AngelPs piece last week, and was wondering whether I was shocked by the size of Catfish's take, when I heard of a comparable phenomenon nearer home, on the south coast.

Last week, the Colgate Women's International Tennis Tournament took place at Eastbourne, and the world's top women players were present, sharpening up for Wimbledon. If I went down there, I was advised, I would hear stories about the money now flowing into women's tennis that would make my hair stand on end. At the Eastbourne courts, it was not long before I began to hear the nromised financial surprises. The press tent was full of middle-aged men. their tennis days long past.

One of them was shouting into a telephone, ''The clown with magic in his tennis arm and the reflexes of a cat. 5 He was dictating a feature about Nas-tase, I judged. Nastase's earnings this year so far are more than 100.000 which must make him the highest earner in Romania. I soon picked up other figures. I was aware, of course, that half-a-dozen years ago there had been a revolution in women's tennis largely inspired and partly led by the champion Billie Jean King, in' alliance with a formidable woman called Gladys Heldman, the publisher of an American tennis magazine.
