Lendon, Yesterday.
British prospects in the Davis Cup competition of 1932 have received a shat- tering blow with the news of the indisposi- tion of H. W. Austin, Britain's ranking No. 2 singles player. He has been omitted from the team which will represent Britain against Roumania at Torquay from May 13 to May 16, on the grounds of lack of practice due to ill-health.
