LAWN TENNIS
N.Z. CHAMPIONSHIP DATES. McGRATH LIKELY TO COMPETE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The New Zealand lawn tennis championships will be held at Wilding Park from December 31 to January 7. It is probable that V. B. McGrath, a leading Australian player, will compete. A special meeting of the Management Committee of the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association was held today to consider a letter from the New Zealand Association - stating that McGrath had indicated that if the dates fitted in with those of the Australian championships he would be agreeable to consider competing. It was also pointed out in the letter that-if the dates were agreed to, any other Australian players who competed could catch the Awatea on her return trip on January 10. It was agreed to fall in with the New Zealand Association’s recommendation and also to apply for December 24 to 28 as dates for the Canterbury championships. A previous decision had been made to commence the provincial championships on December 26.
