LAWN TENNIS SURPRISE.
TIGHTER " AMATEUR" LAW.
NO WRITING FOR NEWSPAPERS.
In a pamphlet issued by the Lawn. Tennis Association of England to the various affiliated associations and clubs appears the following notice which the council proposed to bring before the an- aual general meeting on December 13th, and, approved, before the annual general meeting of the International Lawn Tennis Federation in March 1997:
Subject to say modification which may be made in its rules by an associa tion in favour of its own nationals in its own country, an amateur lawn ten- nis player is prohibited from writing reports or articles for the daily or weekly Press under his own "name, initials, or recognisable pseudonym, or permitting himself to be interviewed for the purpose of Press "publications in connection with any tournament, match, or competition in which he is entered as, or is a competitor.
The pamphlet also states under Rule 2, Sec. (h), Parn (IV.);
An amateur lawn tennis player is specifically prohibited from accepting money, or gaining pecuniary advantage, by advertising his name or permitting his name to be advertised as the author of any book or Press article on the game of which he is not the author.
