THE NEW RULES

The M.C.C. have settled the "Trenk" declaration question in thoir usual quiet but firm way. They gave the Advisory County Board the choice of methods of séltlement, and the one adopted was soon endorsed on getting back to the M.C.C. Committee. The au- thority of the M.C.C. was recog- nfsed in the frat instance by the Advisory Board in asking for a considered means of dealing with the awkward situation that had arlsen, and now full powers will be centred in the M.C.C. to enforce the new rules should compulsory enforcement be necessary. It is true that this power is not de- fined in exact ternis, but the ob.. vious inference is that If the rules are not followed the match in which they ar broken must bo- come vold. There are good annis nt Lord's and elsewhere who thought the M.C.C. should have neted immediately after the She- Mold extravaganza and declared Yorks v. Gloucestershire no mateb. The regularity of such a proceed- ing might have been open to ques- tion.

Even the most short-memoried of tennis players will recollect how Mrs. Holcroft-Watson, when the match was played at Wimbledon in 1930, reached 5-love against her Nigel Haig (Middlesex) in the first set, but then apparently Shepherd (Surrey) came to the conclusion that the form was all wrong, and proceeded Hobbs (Surrey) to rectify it disastrously.

THE COACHING OF GIRLS.

But whatever may happen in the Wightman Cup this year, the pros- pects for the future are percep- tibly brighter. Not many weeks ago the Council of the L.T.A., stated that " woman conch has been engaged for coaching young girls of international promiso Why the Council, having done this good deed by stealth, should blush to find it fame, is hard to see; but with the curious reticence that so often marks their proceedings, they do not specifically say, what is ap- parently common knowledge, that it is Mrs. Larcombe whom they have appointed. Their announce- ment would have had twenty times its force if Mrs. Larcombo's name had been given; for, without any disparagement of others, she is acknowledged by most people to be a coach, who comes within mea- surable distance of performing the pupils' miracle of Inducing her brains to "rise to the top of the head" in other words, to devolop in them something more than mere stroke-making In the approved style. It is, naturally. a great thing to "catch them young"-to take the first opportunity of In- stilling tactics into "young girls of international promises"; but, if not too late, some of those who have translated International pro- mise inte International perfor- manco would be none the worke for a little coaching, in the advan tage gained by using their wits as well as their wrints.
