THE DAVIS CUP. THE POSITION OP ' By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Keceived June 15, 9.50 p.m. London, Juue 14. hingscote, j n n letter to the Lawn Tennis Association, admits that Lycctt has undeniable birth qualifications to play for the British Isles, but it is not the spirit of the law that he should be included in the Davis Cup team. He is a magnificent doubles player, and would undoubtedly strengthen Britain, but It was better to lose without Lycett's assistance than to win with it. ' "While ills qualifications are not unanimously accepted, particularly by Australasia, I suggest the Australasian Lawn Tennis Association be approached by letter, nol cable with a view of determining In a friendly spirit which country Lycctt should pisy ror If Australasia agrees to the British Isles' prior claims then Lycett's claims for Inclusion, should he considered in 1921, but not in 1920." —Aus.-N.Z.
