CHANCE THOUGHT GOOD Australia in Davis Cup Melbourne, January 15. The suggestion that only three players be sent in the Australian Davis Cup team, for which Crawford, McGrath, Quist and Turnbull have been selected, was disregarded on the ground that Australia this year had a good chance of winning the cup and to send only three players would be to involve unnecessary risk. The association agreed that Mrs. Crawford should accompany her husband and that £375 be uaid toward her expenses, the same as last year. NOT ENTERING Canada and Davis Cup (Received January 16, 8.25 p.m.) Ottawa, January 16. Canada will not enter Davis Cup play this year owing to the necessity for meeting the United States early in the season before the Canadian players are into their stride. Instead she will send a contingent to Wimbledon and other English centres. FILM WORK BAN American Association’s View New York, January 15. The movement to rescind the rule prohibiting amateurs from receiving compensation for appearing in lawn tennis action films is not endorsed by the United States Lawn Tennis Association. so the president, Mr. Hall, declared. “I do not see.” he said, “any reason for such a change. I think for any amateur to be allowed to receive substantial compensation for any action film of himself is a definite violation of the spirit of the amateur rule and personally I oppose it.” The reference is to the decision of the Lawn Tennis Association (England) to endorse a Czechoslovakian proposal to delete a section in international rule 23, prohibiting amateurs from profiting by film action, pictures.
