AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS AND DAVIS CUP NEXT YEAR

Gruelling Tennis Ahead With Internationals

(By Vivian McGrath in “The Herald")

Lolling in a chair on the boat deck of the Ormonde in -the beat of the tropic sun, I came to the conclusion that Australia's best policy in her effort to win the Davis Cup is to miss next year, and make a big effort with a challenge in 1939.

A chair in the tropic sun in the Ormonde may not be quite the place to decide such an issue, but it represente about the quietest moments of a tennis' player's life, and provides an excellent opportunity to delve into the pros and cons.

The heat of the mun made neno test matches. The tournaments realise that Adrian Quiti and I have were the only real strain. And even had ten successive summers. while thege Crawford and the rest of us Jack Crawford has had or 13 in mixed some of the major tournn-

INDIANS' PROSPECTS IN CRICKET LEAGUE

TEAM WEAKENED BY ABSENCE OF MANY PLAYERS

(By "Abo")

In spite of the fine performances of A. R. Minu, A. H. Madar, K. Nazarin, S. A. Ismail and A. R. Kitchell - so far this season, and the fine victory over the Army at Sookunpoo in a friendly fixture last Saturday, the Indians are still dubious regarding their prospects in the present Cricket Championship
