MEETING OF DAVIS CUP NATIONS IN PARIS Davis Cup Qualifying Round
Amsterdam, To-day.
The French Lawn Tennis Federa tion have convened a meeting of all Davis Cup nations to consider the possibility, which has already been expressed at the Wimbledon Meeting, of
the whole cancelling the
of the new system of qualifying rounds for the Davis Cup, and not
to play matches scheduled for this July, August, and September.-
It will be remembered that the International Federation last year. authorised the new scheme to be gin in 1938, whereunder only zone Analists of the Davis Cup matches would enter the 1994 competition. All others were to participate in a qualifying competition in
July, August and September of this year, and then only the semi. finalists would be admitted the 1934 competition.

The plan would make it impos- sible for a nation which did not compete one year to challenge in succeeding years-Reuter.
