DAVIS CUP
SIMPLIFYING CONDITIONS ZONE PLAY TOO LONG PARIS, Nov. 23. The committee appointed in July to simplify the conditions of playing for the Davis Cup recommends:—(l) That in order to obviate long and expensive journeys, the smaller nations should undertake to compete in eliminating rounds. (2) That the European zone should be divided into northern and southern sub-zones, each of which shall play only in alternate seasons, interest 'and equality in the competition to be secured by the inclusion in one year of the last eight nations in the opposite sub-zone of the previous season. A Scandinavian complaint that the competition was too protracted, resulting in players getting out of training was answered by the recommendation that countries might play eliminating matches at the close of one season m readiness for the next. ■ M. Sabelli expressed the opinion that the suggestions would be most helpful yet might be slightly modified, and would probably be adopted for 1931.
