MALFROY NOT RETURNING
ANOTHER YEAR ABROAD C. E. Malfroy, New. Zealand Davis Cup player, and former Dominion champion, will not return to New Zealand this ysar. Malfroy, after a brilliant beginning in New Zealand tennis, improved his, game by several years in England, where he attended Cambridge University. He retumed to New Zealand in 1932 and spent several seasons here, wmning the New Zealand singles championship in 1933-34 from C. Sproule (Australia) in the final. The previous season he had also reached the final, but . was outplayed by E. D. Andrews.
In 1934 Malfroy was sent back to England to represent New Zealand in the Davis Cup, and formed one of | thc team of Andrews, Malfroy and A. C. Stedmari which was beaten by Czechoslovakia at Prague by four matches to one. Incidentally, Malfroy and Stedman won the j Czechoslovakia doubles title after winning their Davis Cup doubles match against Menzel and Hecht in straight sets. The New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association defrayed portion of Malfroy's expenses on this tour, and. it was understood that he was to come back to New Zealand. However, Malfroy has since then determined to stay abroad for some time, his brother and one sister being in England, and he has reimbursed the New Zealand Lawn Tennis Association for its expenditure. Thus the undertaking to return has lapsed.
