VIXEN HOLDS UP PLAY ON
GOLF COURSE.
Puts to Flight Green-Keeper Who Approaches Cabs.
A vixen who rallied to the defence of her five cubs on their first "walk out" put to flight a Surrey golf club greenkeeper and held up play on the course.
She had made her home in a wood adjoining Warlingham golf course.
The greenkeeper, Arthur Dobson, saw her 300 yards from the clubhouse as he walked through the long grass of the rough to do some work at the sixth green,
Apparently fearing that he meant harm to her cubs, the vixen approached him with bared teeth, determined to keep, herself between him and her cuhk.
Dobson had with him only a Jarge jack knife, just as she was about to attack him he fung this at the animal.
In the momentary pause that followed he turned and made for the clubhouse, where the steward and others came out with him to find the vixen shepherding her cubs back to their home in the woods.

Strain of European & National Championships Too Great
AUSTRALIANS MAY VISIT ORIENT
It is now definite that the United States lawn tennis team will not visit India this Winter,
The Calcutta South Club who have so successfully arranged for visits from French, British and Japanese teams in the past three years, had been hoping to get out a team of at least four young Americans, and had entrusted Mr. L. Brooke Edwards with the ar- rangements, for the visit, but information has now been received that the U.S.L.T.A.' are of opinion that it will be too great a strain on young players like Ellsworth Vines, Sydney Wood, F. X. Shields and Gregory Mangin to ask them to undertake a tour of India at the conclusion of their visit to Europe, and their own American cħam- pionships later in the year.

AUSTRALIAN RUGBY PLAYER
IN TROUBLE.
Tom Lawton Dropped From Club Fifteen.
Melboume.
Because of his failure to de- vote the required time to train- ing, Tom Lawton, International Rugby Union five-eighth, has been omitted from the Valley team to meet G.P.S. Old Boys. Lawton Is regarded as the probable leader of the Aus tralian team in forthcom ing
test matches against New Zealand, but unless he plays club football he cannot claim representative honours.
Valley Club has expressed the hope that Lawton will be able to join the other players thus at future practice, giving the selectors the opportunity of proving their appreciation of his ser- vices.
the Early in son, Lawton had a hitch with the University Club regarding his absence from training.
