MOVING IN LINE WITH

RECENT HISTORY

London, May 15.

As the result of recent oventa in Europe, the International Lawn Tennis Federation, at its annual general meciing in Parts, decided upon an important amendment to the rules of the game,

In future, Davis Cup players whose country has been absorbed by some other power will be permallled to play for another country.

In the past once a player had represented a country he was not allowed to play for another. The new rule, however, makes it possible for him in the circumstances provided for to be regarded as not having previously represented any country,

The LL.TV. have accordingly amended their rules to bring about this change for International contests and the Davis Cup Commmiites have agreed that, the new rule apply to Davis Cup matches.
