TENNIS AT WIMBLEDON
ALTERATION IN CONTROL
By 398 votes to 27 the Lawn Tennis Association of England ratified its agreement with the All-England Club, by which it now assumes full financial responsibility for the Wimbledon championships, and becomes joint owner of
the world-famous lawn tennis ground. The All-England club will still continue to run the championship meeting as of old, under the management of a joint committee, but the Lawn Tennis Association will now gain the fullest financial benefits with the minimum of risk and loss. A Scottish delegate described the new agreement as a “good financial bargain,” but there was some opposition from the Midlands. They claimed that the chances of getting more money out of the championships were not sufficient to warrant entering into a long agreement, and that there had been no good reason for scrapping the old one.
