FIRST CLASS TENNIS.

PROPOSED TOUR FROM U.S.A. A TRIP TO AUSTRALIA. NEW YORK, January 11. One of the most important matters which the United States Lawn -.Tennis Association will consider at its annual meeting on February 2 will be the recommendation of the chairman of the Davis Cup Committee, Mr, Julian Myrick, to send an American team to Australia next winter. The executive committee of the association has already approved the recommendation, and now only awaits action by the full body of the association. Considerable disappointment is felt here, as well as in Australia, over the failure to send a team this year, after the association had approved the step. Many members of the committee sympathise with the opinions expressed in j cabled reports from Australia, that the I latter might he reluctant to dispatch competitors in the Davis Cup contests every year at great expense so long as the United States was undesirous of reciprocity hy sending a team to Australia during the oft* season. It is explained that the chief American players find it inconvenient owing to their American engagements, to. take the Jong journey which is entailed in the Australian trip.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
