INTERPORT TENNIS

PROSPECTS

Triangular Meeting In Shanghai?

That prospects are bright for Interport matches in Shanghai with both Tientsin and Hong Kong late in August, was announ- ced by the secretary of the S.LT.A., states the "North China Daily News." The Tientsin visti is almost a certainty, but as it is Shan- hal's turn to travel south this summer It cannot "definitely be stated whether the Association's invitation will be accepted by Hong Kong.

The SLTA is also making every endeavour through the good offices of the local Japanese tennis organizations to entice some first class Japanese teams from Japan to match talents with Shanghai's best, according to a declaration by the secretary.

Recent rains have interfered somewhat with the swing of the tennis season, but fortunately turf on the Race Course dries. miracul-

free hit, formerly Penalty 3.

It is felt that this alteration to rules, which conforms with Ame- ̈riçan practice, will serve to encour- age Armness on the part of the umpires and aid thêm in making their decisions.

Equally important is the altera- tion to Field Rule 18 (1), which deals with checking or palling up on or across the line of the bail.

There has long been an unwritten law against this exceedingly dän- gerous practice, and in fact during the first match in the Westchester Cup series last summer, Mr. E. H Tyrell-Martin, who pulled up on the ball in the English goal-mouth, had a penalty given against him, though as the rule read, he had in fact committed' no foul.

Field Rule 18 (1) now reads: No player may theck or pull up on or across the line of the ball if by 30 doing he endangers himself or a player on the iine of the ball."
