LEWIS HOAD'S RACKET IS PACKED WITH VENOM He Looks Likely To Remain At The Top For Many Years To Come

་

In any generation but the present, Lew.Hoad would have been the outstanding tennis discovery of his day. As a junior he made phenomenal strides and shocked the tennis world when, making his Wimbledon debut at 16, he almost brat Jaroslav Drobny, the No. 2 seed. But, at the same time as Hoad emerged, so did another brilliant Australian discovery-Ken Rosewall.

Although unlike In appearance, these two soon became known as the tennis twins. Both born in Sydney within three weeks of each other, in November, 1934, they have grown up together in the tennis world.

London, Jan. 13.

The finest spectacle in steeplechasing, Aintree's Grand National, appears to be losing its appeal to owners and trainers.

Only 57 horses have been entered for this year's race on March 27. This is the lowest entry since 1936, and there seems a possibility that the number of starters will be the smallest since 1919, when Poethlyn won under top-weight in a field of 22.

One of the reasons for the decline is readily apparent, Increasing interest in national hunt racing has allowed racecourse executives to offer bigger prizes, and it is obvious that some owners of really good chasers now tend to go for fea. ture races with good prize money rather than risk valuable horses in the melee at Liverpool.
