J. D. Budge, the Wimbledon champion, and G. Mako are to visit Australia later in the year with two other American players, states Kruter. N.E. Brookes, a former Wimbledon singles champion, who is now attached to the Australian L.T.A., has cabled that the players were willing to make the trip. The Australian L.T.A. have replied, instructing Mr. Brookes to go ahead with the arrangements.
In addition to the American team, there will be a Ger- team, comprising G. Von Cramm and H. Henkel, and a British women's side in Australia at the same time.
