AMAR NATH TELLS OWN STORY OF HIS DISMISSAL TO INDIA

“WIMBLEDON DRAW

UNSATISFACTORY"

GERMAN CRITICISM OF THE SEEDING

VON CRAMM'S TASK MADE

DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE

AS

Berlin, June 20.

HE "seeding for Wimbledon has created THE

some dissatisfaction in German sporting circles, criticism being directed to the fact that the draw will probably bring Cramm and Craw- ford together in the quarter- finals.

The 12 Uhr Blatt comments: "It is a somewhat curious method of making it as easy as possible for the English cham-. pion, Perry, to reach the last four, and at the same time making it as difficult as possible for his probably most dangerous | opponent, Vón Cramm, who defeated him in Paris.""

The paper, which heads its report "Wimbledon-only for Anglo-Saxons?" further remarks that the players who are not Anglo-Saxons will find small cause for pleasure in this year's Wimbledon draw.

London, June 20. MAR NATH, the best all-rounder in the All India cricket team, was to-day sent home to India "as a disciplinary measure." This sen- sation, which has no parallel in modern cricket history, was confirmed to-day by Major J. Brit- tain Jones, manager of the Indian tourists.

He made the following statement at the Oval, where All- India was playing Surrey. "Amar Nath left for India this morning. He has been sent back as a disciplinary measure.
