TENNIS

STEDMAN’S SUCCES'S. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received April 18, 8. a.m.) LONDON, April 17. The New Zealander Stedman, had a brilliant victory over Lee 6/2, 6/2 in the final of the Tallyho tournament at Birmingham. Lee in the quarter-final, beat his fellow Davis Cup player, Wild. The draw brought Stedman and Malfroy together in the semi-final, but Malfroy had just endured a gruelling quarter-final, and so scratched.

SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS.

LONDON, April 16.

The Lawn Tennis Association is instructing the managers of touring teams to strictly limit the acceptance ty players of invitations to attend evening engagements. Austin says: “In a world tour, such as to Australia, New Zealand, and' South Africa, the Mayors of every town give receptions; dances are arranged, and there is an official dinner every night. We cannot refuse, because it would seem rude. It is very difficult to play good tennis.” Cochet says: “On tour there are too many invitations for dinners, dances and receptions, to which the younger players, who do not know how to refuse, fall victims.” MYERS' ESTIMATES. (Recd. April 18. 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 17. Wallis Myers, in an editorial in “Ayres’ Almanack,” comparing past and present players says: Unquestionably Tilden, when at the height of his power, would have won at last Wimbledon, with something to spare. So might H. L. Doherty and Lacoste. The opposition with which these masters contended was more stubborn and more refined than that which faced Perry in 1935. In the singles, there has been a speeding up, with greater strain on stamina. Youth is more markedly served, but the modern doubles have declined, both in accuracy and tactical skill.
