NEW ZEALAND TENNIS
RETURN OF A. 0. BROWN PARTICIPATION IN DAVIS GUP MATCHES URGED . [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, October 20. The Auckland and New Zealand lawn tennis champion, A. D. Brown, who returned by the Rangitiki after playing in England, said there was no player in England at present, with .the exception of Austin, who was better than the New Zealander Stedman. There was little between the best players in England and the best in New Zealand, though he admitted that the standard ao Ilf me was not now as high as it had been in recent years. All the Domiiiion players needed was practice with men as good as or better than themselves. For that reason he advocated the participation of New Zealand in Davis Cup matches. The team should be young players who most likely would benefit by the experience. By about the fourth year we might show some result. He had not done very well during the first two months in England, but after that he had settled down.
