BRITISH TENNIS FAILURES
SUCCESSES VERSUS FINANCES.
GOVERNING BODY’S RICHES.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—-Copyright, London, July 17
Overseas players with one exception won all the tennis singles championchips of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, says Wallis Myers in the Daily Mail, while many of the best players were not competing outside of Wimbledon. The results confirm the conviction drawn in the Davis Cup and Wightman Cup contests that all is not well with British lawn tennis, The British victories seem in inverse ratio to the Lawn Tennis Association’s linaneial prosperity. The association receives an average of £lO,OOO a year from Wimbledon, in addition to .capitation fees from all tournaments, and financially is the strongest governing body in the world.
