LONDON PERSONALS

(From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 31st October. 1 Lord Jellicoe is indefatigable. Ho is now the new president of the International Lawn Tennis Club. A writer of current topics, in the "Daily Telegraph," wonders how many members of the club know that Earl Jellicoe is the owner of a racquet once used by Mr. Norman Brookes in the Davis Cup challenge round in a match against Mr. Til'den. The Writer says:' The Admiral and the famous Australian playor met at Auckland in 1920, when the former was Governor-General of New Zealand and the latter was leading the dofending team. The souvenir was doubly valued by "His Excellency," who 'was an interested spectator of the matches, because of its oval-shaped head and relatively, loose stringing—a-, racquet,, in fact, of quite an old-fashioned type.
