Denial By Mrs. Bradman
(Received noon.) SYDNEY, This Dayrrf Mrs Don Bradman has denied the report in “The Sun” that she had a radio phone conversation with her husband, in which she expressed her indignation at the Board of Control re-, fusing his application for her to join s him in England when the cricket programme has been completed. She said the radio phone conversation was so unsatisfactory that she was unable to express either indignation or disappointment, even if she felt so inclined.
A London cable message states that Bradman has decided not to make a statement at present. “The Star” (London) says there is no question of defying the ban on Mrs Bradman, but Bradman is likely to refuse again to visit England unless the contract is altered. An incident similar to the ban on Mrs Bradman by the Board of Cricket Control has developed in tennis circles. Mrs Harry Hopman, wife of the captain of the Australian Davis Cup team now in the Continent, having received permission to compete in the mixed doubles in New York with her husband, the Australian Lawn Tennis Association has decreed that the pair must not stay at the same hotel, must not travel in the same train, and must not be reunited as man and wife till they embark at San Francisco on the journey home.
