APPAREL FOR TENNIS
STOCKINGS OR BARE LEGS? COMMITTEES WISE DECISION. (Rec. 9.30 p.m.) London, June 6. The Daily News says that the Empire’s future could not have been more closely guarded than the discussion on the momentous question whether women should be permitted to play tennis at Wimbledon with legs bare, in which connection a joint committee of the Lawn Tennis Association and the All England Club came to the wisest decision possible. In a statement issued the committee says: “It has been suggested that the Championship Committee should express an opinion on the nature and extent, of the clothing suitable for competitors at Wimbledon. As circumstances attendant upon the championship meeting have a quality of their own, the committee prefers to rely as heretofore on the good sense and good taste of the players whom the committee wishes to regard as far as possible as their invited guests.”— Australian Press Association.
