This was questioned by some of the Alor Star team. who held that the ball was "dead." The batsman made no appeal at all, but walked off in the first instance.

Big and highly important hap-where no black type is shown the penings appear to be bending in watch may result in a draw: lawn tennis, writes Trevor C. Wignall in the Daily Express. Ever since Tilden and Hunter, the Americans, turned to professional, ism Home little time ago it has been known that proposals will presently be made to British and Continental players to follow their example. At the moment what is already called the "Tilden Circus" is attracting prizo-fight pates in New York and Boston, the principal games, of course, be- ing those between the former amateur champion of the world and Karel Kozeluh, the Czecho Slovakinn. Remarkable guaron- teca have been offered Tilden t5 take his troupe to Australia and other countries, and one possibility is that he will be induced to visit London this Samniner for the pur-Roading pose of engaging in a tournament that will be in direct opposition to Wimbledon.

I had a talk with Mr. M. F. Mousley, the honorary secretary of the LT.P.A., and ho told me that no one belonging to his body will be in the least surprised if In a few months' time many ́ cele- brated amateurs embrace profes- sionalism. The idea of the new rule is to prevent the newcomers from scooping the pool at tourna- ments that are almost certain- to be arranged. It is likely competi-* tions will be promoted that will tickets for the next Wimbledon 10.20 be much on the lines of the tournament, but it needs to be re- pelota games in Spain.

The prizes, naturally, will be cash, and it is not without interest that the LT.P.A. will raise their sub scription to two guineas for all members over twenty-one years of

age.

Tilden's Debut.

A point that the controllers will 10.48 hot recognise is that there are now very few people on earth who 10.52 are willing to credit that there are more than a handful of pure 11.00 amateur tennis players. The majority are unquestionably out-10.56 and-out professionals for the rea-111.04 'son that they accept liberal ex-
