DAVIS CLP TAKINGS. | A statement of receipts and expenditure I in conn eel ion with the Lovis Clip tournaj menr., America versus Australia, played in j AiurkifUid last December, has been pubj lished by the Luvvn 1 emu's Association of Australasia. This shows that the gate receipts for the three days amounted to LSI//, which was increased to £8642 by receipts from the sal,- of programmes (*£B2), Li noma rights (£215), and hue of the cup stand to the New Zealand Association for the dominion championships (£106). Commenting on the balance sheet a Melbourne journal says User costly management reduced the Australasian Association’s share of the prciits to £iJ2. The article proceeds: — '.ino expenditure incurred in conducting the match in New Zealand totalled £6307, which, deducted from the receipts, £8642, left as balance of profit £2335. Of this amount the United States National Association received £1167. The Australasian Association received a similar amount as its half share, but £1065 was absorbed in entertainments and team’s cxj penses. The subsequent tour of Australia I by the Davis Cup team, after providing for * guaranteed expenses, resulted in a loss of £172, though the profit on America v. Vici fori a mate!), nioyed in Melbourne, amounted ; to £llsß. j “The financial outcome of the tour of the American players in New Zealand and Australia was a loss to the Australasian Association of £7O, the net profit of £lO2 on the Davis Cup challenge match being wiped out by the £172 deficiency on subsequent, matches played in Australia. Tlie public support was represented by gate receipts amounting to over £IO,OOO in three matches played by the Americans. - ’
