TACTFUL SELECTION,

“CHAMPIONS ARE CHAMPIONS.”

Received June 18, 1.10 p.m. LONDON, June 17. Mr Wallis Myers, the tennis critic, in the Daily Telegraph says that in the men’s list the Wimbledon “seedsmen” have tactfully reduced the measure of heartburning by nominating four national champions for the first four places. A student of world form might question Quist’s ability to defeat Budge, but “champions remain champions until they lose their titles.”
