EMPIRE DAY FAIR.

LAWN TENNIS ÍN INDIA.

Picking The Team to Meet Germany.

THE CHINA MAIL.

Calcutta, March 11. The annual meeting of the All- India Lawn Tennis Association, which had to be put off because sufficient notice had not been given, is to be held at Delhi on March 26. The business will be purely of a formal nature, but the meeting will be asked to confirm the appoint- ment of Messrs. Krishna Prasad and A. C. Gupta and Col. B. O. Roe

as

selection committee in con- nection with India's Davis Cup tie against Germany.

Hitherto Colonel Roe has done all the picting of India's team him- self, but in view of the large num-1 her of players available this time it has been thought advisable to have a small Committe to nominate India's representatives for Wimble- don, to arrange practice matches and pick a team against Germany.

The selectors may discover suitable batsmen, even if it is impossible to conceive of Hobbe's place, being filed by anyone in his class, but a greater difficulty threatens in the choice of bowlers.
