PROFESSIONAL TENNIS TOURNEY FORMANILA

SWANSEA - LLANELLY CANCEL FIXTURES TWO PLAYERS ORDERED OFF FIELD

“PRIVATE WAR” AMONG FORWARDS

(By Rowe Harding)

London, October 26.

WHEN Swansea beat Llanelly at Stradey three weeks ago they won there for the first time. since 1932, and became the only side to have de- feated Llanelly this season.

Llanelly won by a goal and a penalty goal (8 points) to a try, (3 points), but after a game which never looked like Eugby, de- veloped into a battle royal and threatened to become a shambles until a man on either side-F. L. Morgan (Llanelly) and J. White (Swansea) was sent off. After the game it was mutually de- cided to cancel this season's two remaining fixtures and also to have no fixtures between the clubs next season.

Perhaps, in all the circum- Istances, this was the wisest de- cision, because it is all too jobvious that a series. of feuds exists between various players on either side, and it is better that they do not meet again for some time.

A speed of 212 km En bour was reached by House in Ger

many recently with his special "mator-cycle Limousine. thus breaking the world record.

TILDEN'S RETIREMENT LONG WAY OFF

FRED PERRY RATED FOURTH BEST

Manila, November 13.

A PROPOSAL to stage a professional tennis

championship in Manila this time next year, was made by William "Big Bill" Tilden in an interview with sports writers shortly upon his arrival here yesterday morning. To this cham- pionship tournament he proposes to invite some European players, a Japanese professional and the local professional while he and Ellsworth Vines would also participate.

Tilden and Vines, who are conducting a playing tour of the Orient arrived on the President Lincoln and were met by a group of local tennis players. Mrs. Vines came with her husband. Tilden announced that he plans to conduct another tour to the Orient this time next year with Vines, Henri Cochet and another | European professional, and a Japanese Davis Cup star who will turn professional soon. The identity of the Japanese player he would not divulge, but stated that he is a "very good player." If his tour to the Orient materialises Tilden proposes to stage Brown Bomber's services, added a world championship tournament in Manila both in singles and Superior Scrum. that Louis also could make plenty doubles.
