DESTINATION Invalid

Said to bavo Australia as their destination, Miss Dorothy Round and Miss Mary Heeley, two members of the British Wightman Cup team are re- ported to be in Japan, where they will in all probability play exhibition matches.

Although, it has not yet been confirmed, it is more than likely that the two players will pass through Hongkong some time this month, in which case it can be safely believed that the Lawn Tennis Association will make every effort to arrange for their appearance here.

So far as is known the LT.A. has not yet taken any steps in this direction.

AMERICAN SUCCESSES. Miss Round and Miss Heeley enjoyed several succosses in America this year, Miss Round winning the Pacific South-West Championship, by beating Miss Alice Marble in the final 6-2, 0-2 The two girls also reached the final of the women's doubles, but were defeated by Miss Ryan and Miss Marble in straight actu, whilst Miss Round @gured in the mixed doubles final with Perry, but was beaten by Ellsworth Vines and Miss Ryan,
