“Impossible Burden,” Says Australian Owner By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney.

E. E. D. Clarke, on his return from New Zealand. .Mr. Clarke added that taxation was driving New Zealand owners to Australia. Under (he present conditions neither clubs nor owners could make racing pay, and (ho natural thing was that they should look elsewhere, to the detriment of New Zealand form. The retirement of .Menzel leaves the field of clown tennis free to Mishu, of Rumania. It is a common thing for Mishit t i walk off the court if he loses n point or doesn’t agree with the umpire. Sometimes he shows his indignation by standing with his back to the not and' serving over his .shoulder; if really put out he is apt to vary this by bending down and serving between his legs The Rumanian staged another method of protest recently when ho was ordered to play in the raili. lie came on the court in ail oilskin and holding an umbrella.
