WIGHTMAN CUP
SELECTORS HAVE BLUNDERED
By DEREK JOHN
Next month, Britain's tennis girls go to the United States to defend the Wightman Cup for the first time since 1931.
And I reckon they might just as well save them- selves all the trouble and expense and mail the trophy back to the Americans who held it without a break from 1931 to 1958.
Why? Because the British selcetors have ruined the team's chances from the start. The party they have chosen-Mrs Ann Huydon, Shirley Brasher, Angela Mortimer and Christine Truman-is quite Inadequate.
Never has there been more reason to include a fifth player as a reserve an experienced campaigner like Pat Ward who gave top-seeded Truman

Big John paced up and down outside one of the Colony's most fashionable stores. He was getting a bit impatient but earlier he had seen his old friend Mr Wong disappearing through the glass doors of the store and he had decided to hang around and wait for him to come out. He had now been waiting longer than he had originally intended. He began to think that maybe after all his friend had left by another door and he had missed him in the dense crowd of eager shoppers.
Just as he was on the point of giving up hope of baving a quiet- if unexpected--chluwar with his colleague of many years" Blanding he saw his familiar figura coming out through the far door with a well wrapped box under his arm,
A few quick strides look film alose to Mr Wong. With an gir of authority he laid a heavy land on his shoulder and sald "Mr Wong, I arrest you in the name of Baochins, anything you any whit only waste' good drinking time, and I would ask you to accompany me to the nearest club."
You save ma a "Don't do things like that on'a hot afternoon,

"Bacchus, my dear Ignorant friend, has something or other to do with the gentle art of thirst-quenching and the sooner we becoman followers of his crned the bäller I'm rólha to like it" replied John as he edged his friend into a taxi and whlaked Im off to the club.
Bacchus would have been proud of the two crues as they drenched their summer thieni lo grand style with two long As he amacked bis lips in satisfaction cooling shandles, Jolin turned to Wong and said "I intended to ask you what was going on behind the scenes in Calony spert, but first of what all wil you please satisfy my curiosity and tell me you have a beally wrapped up in that parcel?"
Air Wong took another mouthful of refreshment and almost casually replied "As a matter of last it's a pair of beavy boots for the Walkathon."
If he had told John that the package contained half a dozen band grenaden, or a stick of dynamite, or copies of the Amateur Sportsman's Handbook for the Colony's leading foolballers. or even Olymplo pertlilentes to enable the santo players lo represent Taiwan in the Olympic Games he couldn't have brought the conversation to a more abrupt stop.

'Definitely Nuts'
"Wong, I've been having my doubts about you. Now I know you are delitely nuts. You really should stay out of the sun. It's doing strange things to you and in return squ're doing some pretty strange things yourself. I think you ought to go and have a few quiet words with your doctor. Why, only the other day you were dogmatically laying down the law about this Walkathion saying that it should never be held in The heat of July but should be staged in the cool winter months. You are the very person-now I come to think of Who was calling the inconsiderate organisers' nit kopie of names.
