NOT ON A SUSDAY.
I hear that at this week's meeting of the Council of the Scottish Lawn Tennis Association consideration was given to a proposal for an international match between Scotland and India to be played at Gileneagles on a Sunday in September. While welcoming the idea of à match with India the Council sternly refused to action the playing of any event under its official auspices on a Sunday. It was pointed out that the ruling authority in no other leading Scottjak sport ever arranged match and tourna ment fixtures for Sundays, and it was determined that the Scottish LTA. should not be the first to break through that rule. The international with India will be played on a week day..
