DAVIS CUP ENQUIRY Eighteen Neutrals May Wish For Competition

LONDON, Jan. 15 (Reuter)-Australia is anxious to know, as soon as possible, whether the Davis Cup, which she won last year, will be competed for this year.

As the holding nulion, Aus- tralia now becomes manager of: the Davis Cup competition and would have to appoint repre- sentatives to manage the Euro- pean and American Zones. Davis Cup challenges have to be in the hands of the champion nation not later than January 31. The draw is usually made on February. 3.

The question whether the competi- tion should be suspended for the duration of the war was discussed at a meeting of the Australian Lawn Tennis Association, and it was de- cided that its representative in Lon- don should ascertain immediately from the International Lawn Tennis Federation what action is to be taken.

Although the war maker Austra-f lia's position difficult in regard to the Davis Cup, it is not reasonable to an sume that she has the right to claim "to contest" this year.

CAER CLARK CUP CHAMPIONS' FIRST DEFEAT IN TWO YEARS

THE COUNCIL of the Hongkong Hockey Association did well to confirm the rejection of the Royal Engineers' protest, which decision was reached by the Hockey Umpires Association. There was no doubt whatever as to the position of the umpire when the appeal was made. He was not certain the ball had been hit from within the circle, and, therefore, immediately reversed his decision.

There is no rule in Hockey which states that a player must not appeal, or must be sent off the field if he appeals. But it is understood that appealing by players should not be permitted. That, however, is a problem for the umpire, who, by the way, is not infallible as everything depends on the position from which the appeal was made.
