RECENT HISTORY ··

London, May 15.

As the result of recent events in Europe, the International Lawn Tennis Federation, at lis annual general meeting in Parks, 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 permitted to play for another country: A **** 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 sa not having previously represented any country.

The LITY. have socordingly smesaded their rules to bring about this change, for international onclesia; and the Davis Cup Commlites have agreed that the new rula apply to Davis Cup matches.

FEW WORDS ADDED

The amended Section Two of Rule 30 of the Rules of Lawn Tennis now addei “A player having once represented a country skinti regersent no other, except:it mali a country be divided talo two or more countries or Is absorbed by another country he shall from and after such division bo deemed for the purposes of this rule not to have previously Any country.”
