TENNIS SEASON WHERE THE GAME OF
OPENS WITH
PROBLEMS
(Contlased from Page 16)
It is just possible, however, that Mrs. Moody and Miss Jacobs may not be quite so good as they were, and in that case there might be a chance for the younrer mem- bers of the British team. In' all sports there is a tendency to re- tain established players until they are definitely past their best.
The British possibles are to have an early practice match at Wim- bledon. Last year's singles play- ers-Miss Hardwick, Miss Stam- mers, and Miss Lumb-will play
Miss Server. against Miss Saunders, and Miss. V. E. Scott, and last year's doubles pairs-Miss E. M. Dearman and Miss J. "Ingram and Miss Stammers and Miss F. James will oppose Miss Sunders and Miss Scott and Miss Scriven and Miss A. M. Yorke,

for the British Hard Entries Court Championships close on April 23. I learn that the powerful South African ladies' team which is to visit Great Britain this season will not arrive in time to compete in the tournament.
The leading Australian women players, including Miss N. Wynne and Miss T. Coyne, are to take part, and as other competitors will include Senorita Lizana and possi- bly Miss Jacobs and Miss Jebze- lowska, the tournament so far as the women players are concerned promises to be a good prelude to Wimbledon. Later I hope to say something about the men competi- tors.

CRICKET WAS BORN
Hambledon Hoping For Match With Australiafis
From the swinging sign of the lanely little "bat and ball" ipn, near Hambledon the plump and bearded figure of old Richard Nyren, doyen of English cricket, stared down, writes a Home correspondent...
I stood looking up at him and listening, for they say that some- times in the soft dask a ́ ́ fine evening the crack of ghostly ball on #bostly bat echoes over Broadhalfpenny Down.
It was here, on the level stretch of springy tart before the his- torie inn, that the game of cricket was born, and legend has it that Richard Nyren and his phantom team, in their top-hats, sky-blua smocks and silver-buckle shoes, still play there when twilight fails.
