THE EFFECT OF BAD TENNIS DECISIONS SPORT ADVTS.
DRAMATIC INCIDENT RECALLED
Neutral Umpires Necessary
I doubt if there is any game in the world as difficult to um- pire as lawn tennis. Particular- Jy is it difcult to play through a long and important match with- out some bad decisions.
Whether it be difficult or not there is no denying that in every big contest mistakes of such a flagrant character have been made that the players have almost been demoralised.
