Status Of Leading Seniors And Juniors

The status of Australia's leading senior and junior lawn tennis players who are employed by sports goods, firms was recently in- restigated by a committee of the Lawn Tennis Assoolation of Aus- tralia at a conference with repré- sentatives of the arms.
A new set of regulations has been framed to govern the appear- ance of players considered of Davis Cup -standard-and of certain Juniors likely to reach that stan- dard-in exhibition and tourna- ment matches.

Replying behalf of the tourists, Mr. Thos. Smith, the Manager, said they had all heard of the high standard of football in Calcutta and were eager to come there.
It is not so much the amateur status of these players which has been causing concern as the effect on their form of constant ap- pearance on behalf of their em- ployers.
Mr. Justice Porter had ordered that Mr. Vaughan should pay one- third and Mrs. Buckley two-thirds of the damages on the ground that Mrs. Buckley was mainly to blame because she pulled up suddenly and, though showing" a stoplight signal, did not give a hand signal.

HIGHWAY CODE
But as there had been a good deal said about the regulations
under the 1930 Road Act and the Highway Code he would deal with that matter, he said. Neither the regulations nor the Highway Code were binding as statutory regula tions, but were a guide, when it was a question of negligence or on negligence.
Lord Justice Greer said that be attached importance to Rule 36 of the Highway Code: "Before you stop or slow down Or change direction give the appropriate
signal clearly and in good time."
"The driver cahnot give the ap- propriate signal by stop-light be- Cause that does not come into operation till the brake is applied," he said. "I think it is customary for a careful driver to give a hand signal when about to slow down or stop.
"I think the Judge was entitled to say that the absence of a hand signal at the time when it ought to have been given-before the sudden application of the brakes makes Mrs. Buckley to blame, in addition to pulling up too sud- denly."
The state association must also approve arrangements made with the players about fures. expenses. and accommodation.
The players are not to appear in matches or under electric light at night ex- tournaments played cept at the one main annual tournament of the club or associa- tion to which the player belongs.
No player engaged by a sports firm is to appear in more than twelve exhibitions in a year, and in not more than six in,pae.month.

publicly identifying himself with that im- mortal character the author frees himself from any charge of modesty-but to show how much of Chesterton there is in Father Brown.
As this was always obvious, and as Mgr. O'Connor has, in some de- sree destroyed the reality of Father Brown by obtruding the reality c himself, it seems that he would have done better had he shown himself simply as a friend of long standing, and not as a source of Inspiration. That, after all, is for others to do.
Lord Justice Blesser said he had come to the conclusion with some hesitation that, having regard to the fact that negligence involved a fallure of duty. there was no failure of duty by Mrs. Buckley in not giving a hand signal. He found nothing in the rules and orders made under the Road Traffic Act inconsistent with what he believed to be the regulation as to stop- light that it was a device per-

He considered that the llability ought to have been apportioned equally between Mrs. Buckley and Mr. Vaughan. He thought the appeal should be allowed and the order varied accordingly.
