AUSPICIOUS YEAR FOR
INTERNATIONAL LAWN
TENNIS IN 1939 Davis Cup Said Likely To Remain In America Despite Loss Of Budge
By A. Wallis-Myers
London.
Provided there is "peace in our time," international lawn tennis, which according to the late Lord Balfour helps to promote peace, will have another auspicious year in 1939.
The dates for the big events have now all been fixed. The Wimbledon fortnight will begin on June 26-six days later than 1938, but still, as usual, on the third Monday in June. The French championships start in Paris on June 8, the German championships in Hamburg on July 14, and the American at Forest Hills on September 7.
The German team is already covered courts. It will probably include Ifenner en- ket, H. Menzel and G, von Metaxa.
The Davis Cup, which is the inter-fical national team championship, begins practising 21 its first round in early May in Europe, and ends 1 kast round at Philadelphia on September
