BRILLIANT TENNIS SEASON IN AMERICA

Hard Task For Great Britain In Wightman Cup Match This Year

It will be reminiscent of our own seasons of a year or two back, when the texture and durability of Wimble- don's wonderful turf was tested by a Wightman Cup match, a fortnight's hard championship play, and the inter-zone final and challenge round of the Davis Cup, all within the space of five or six weeks.
