“The ball boys at the Sydney tournaments were wonderful, but in Melbourne they were very poor—not a patch on our own,” said Mr. R. Browning, at a meeting of the management committee of the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association. Air. Browning said that in Sydney the small boys gathered the ball on the run and they never made a mistake. Competition was very keen for a place on the centre court where the big matches were played and a mistake meant that a boy was banished from that court for a time.
