Bunny Austin, when asked-if-he meant to play in the French Cham- Ipionships this year replied: "Why 2 yes." It was then pointed out that the French Championships end just one week before Wimbledon begins. and he looked a little shaken.
There is no doubt Austin has set his heart en having a real go for both The following are the results of the French and British champion- matches played in the Irish League ships this year, and, in a field which has gone somewhat thin on top, if 1 not positively bald, he has almost a
