TENNIS CONTROL.
AMENDMENT OF RULES. UMPIRE’S DECISION FINAL. BRITISH ASSOCIATION ACTS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT (Received Nov. 20, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 19. The. Daily Mail says that the council of the Lawn Tennis recommends an amendment of the rules making the umpire’s decision final upon a question of facts. A competitor expressing disapproval either by word or action will be liable to disqualification. The Association Tournament Commitl- - will be empowered to investigate cases and take, disciplinary action to deal with offenders by suspension or otherwise.
The Mail points out that the umpire’s difficulties will begin when a player like Mdlle. Lenglen or Brookes at Wimbledon, in 1924 deliberately loses a point after an incorrect decision for the purpose of levelling up matters. — Sydney Sun Cables.
