JAPANESE DAVIS CUP SETBACK.
STAR PLAYERS NOT TO COMPETE.
EXHIBITIONS IN
COLONY TO-DAY.
(Bý "Netcord")
Neither T. Haradu nor R. Nunoi, who have been selected to repro- sent Japan in the Davis Cup com. petition this year, will be making the trip to Europe, they informed me upon their arrival in Hongkong from Australia this morning.
Harada dropped an additional bombshell by etating that he has Inter- played his last game in national or any sort of competitivo tenn, and has definitely decided to give up the game.
This, of course, in the reason for his declining the invitation of the Japanese ..T.A.. to join the Davis Cup team this year, while Nanoi is prevented from figuring in the team through pressure of scholastic duties.
-Looking very fit after their re- real tour of Australin, where they gured in the team which lost the International Test competition, Harada and Nunot arrived early this morning aboard the President Cleveland. They were met by Mr. C. P. P. James (Hon. Secretary of the 1.T.A.) who immediately minde arrangements with the players to' appear in exhibition matcher at the H.K.C.C. this afternoon.
It was when I bronched the sub- Jeet of the forthcoming Davis Cup tournament that I learnt of the sterisions of the two players.
Harada, in explaining why he had taken this unexpectant step. anid "I feel I have had enough temis, have of International been playing since 1924, and have doride to muke this recent trip

[To the Editor, Hongkong Telegraph.1
Bir,-The object in not having this correspondence, published in n local paper here in Macno was because many know the story that I intend to narrate. It is for this reason that I am requesting you to insert it for the benefit of the Catholles of Hongkong and else- where. Many of our ronders may probably accept it with a certain reserve, in the absence of ARY miracle er miracles performed oponly in the presence of authen tic witnesses, and, others, being incredulous, very probably will jeer at me, calling me a crank, a heretic and all sorts of names. I am afraid there will be all sorts of controversy in the papera Whatever opinions may come out into the light of day, the writer can only say take it for what it is worth.
