CUP POSSIBLES

Five To Go Into Training

COMPULSORY ABSENCE OF

H.G.N. LEE

The LT.A. announced recently that the Selection Commit- tee have invited H. W, Austin, C. E. Hare, G. P. Hughes, C. R. D. - Tuckey, and F. H. D. Wilde to go into training with a view to the selection of the Davis Cup team to represent Great Britain in the Challenge Round.

There is nothing surprising about the announcement, of the "provisional British Davis Cup team, writes & Home correspondent, ex- cept that its appearance is a trifle premature. However, one expecta that that, it necessary, can be re- medied. Five players have been named, and I feel that another. Harry Lee, might have been in cluded if he had not definitely de- elded that he is barred by the claims of his profession. We shall find in a year when we want all our best men to choose from that he will be very much missed-per- haps the staurichest of all our brave lads.

I also think that he and Tuckey are our strongest doubles pair: but the question is. Can he stand the strain of three matches which may all possibly be hard ones? Hare and Wilde have in them the mak- ings of a great pale, but they are not a great pair yet.

LAST SEASON'S FORM Austin (ranked, 2nd to Perry). Austin has always belleved conserving his energies for big oc- casions, Consequently his list of singles matches last season was n comparatively short one. E. . Fe- ters and N.

Pigeons from the King's lalt kre regularly raced with the King's Lunn Club, which has its own race for one of the Ave cups pre- sented by King George V.

GROWING SPORT

The sport of pigeon racing at- tracts more followers each year. "A million young birds have been registered for ringing with the National Union of Racing Pigeon and affiliated organisations," Major W. H Ostman, a leading authority on the hobby, stated. There are now about 3,000 clubs, affiliated to an official body Lu this country, and there are some hundreds of unaffillated clubs.
