TWO SHANGHAI JOCKEYS THROWN THIS MORNING

ACCIDENTS OCCUR AT TRAINING

ONE CAUSED BY SILLY “MAFOO” PRACTICE

The unfortunate practice of some Chinese "mafoos" in rushing out to the race-fracks at the completion of gallops by ponies be tonging to stables to which they are atttached was responsible for one of two accidents which occurred at this morning's traming at Happy Valley.

February 19.

Two Jockeys were thrown in the course of these mishups, but luckily pelther was hurt. The two riders were Messrs. H. Maitland and C. Encarnacao, both of Shanghal, who are down here for the annual racing which commences on carnival

In the other accident, Mr. H. Mait- land was riding Griffel, an Australian pony belonging to the John Feel atable. Mr. Maitland was thrown ugh in the air but escaped with nothing more than a shaking.

Conditions for training this mor- ning were particularly unpleasant. There was a steady drizzie right through, and it was probably due to the fact that the training track was Eoaked that both Mr. Maitland and Mr. Encarnacao were unhurt.

German Davis Cup Proposal

Berlin, Jan. 8.

It is evident that Germany will not support the English proposal-to be discussed at the meeting of the International Lawn Tennis Federa- Hon in March-that the Davis Cup contents should only be held in alter- nato years,

#err Erich Schoenborn, leader of the German Lawn Tennis Gulid, de- clares that it would be no solution of the problem. It would not, he Arges, reduce the strain in the year of the competition, wille it would Tossen its importance. He advocates that the four last countries in the European zone in each year should be exempted from participation in the earller rounds in the succeeding- year,

If this is not acceptable and the two-year system is adopted, then he proposes thal_in_one_year unly the zone contests should be decided, and the meeting of the zone winners and challenge round in the next year. This would enable the five rounds of the European zone to be spread all over the summer months.

Nor does Donald Budge favour the iden, white his doubles partner, Gene Mako, is equally opposed to the scheme.

At a meeting of the Victorian L.TA.. Mr. Norman Brookes, presi- dont of the Australian L.T.A., said ho was certain that the international Federation would agree to hold the Davis Cup tournament every two years and that a women's tournament should be held In the intervening years,
