Boxing Board's Ultimatum: Hope For The Golf Pro.
LONDON, May. There appears to be a storm brewing in the lawn tennis world. The cause of all the trouble is the inexplicable manner in which the Emergency Committee, which has been acting for the Lawn Tennis Association since the outbreak of the war, is functioning.
All open events have been banned, and the suggestion for a substitute “Wimbledon" has been ignored, and there is a wide-spread feeling, voiced in no uncertain terms in- the Press, that a county competition might be organised on a regional basis, and that some of the more popular tournaments might be staged in a modified form.
A great many tennis clubs now given those men until and most of the county associa-June 1 to apply for re-instate- tions have been very badly hit ment.
