AUSTRALIA PLAN TOURNAMENT

THE NORMAN BROOKES TROPHY

London, July 23.

THE Australian LT.A. are to make a great effort to get all lawn tennis playing nations to help in the formation of a competition for wo- men, which would be run on the lines of a Davis] Cup.

It has been officially announced that Mr. Norman Brookes, the former Wimbledon Champion, and now president of the Australian L.TA.. has offered to present a cup, and it is hoped that the first matches will be played in Australia next year.

A committee is now preparing conditions for submission first to the Australian Council, and later, when approved, to other countries, making provision for the proposal to be placed on the agenda for discussion by the International Federation next March.

"But it were well not to be too much impressed by the pes- simists over there. You know from experience that, while county cricket may not be of the standard attained in the old days' (it never is) there are fine players in every county, and the finest of these in 1936 will make a tip-top test eleven out here! in Australia.
