THE DAVIS CUP.

AUSTRALIAN TEAM SELECTED. TWO COLTS INCLUDED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and -f.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 1, 11.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 1. Mr Norman Brookes (tlyie sole selector) has notified the Tennis Council that in the event of a tennis team sailing lor America he sees no reason for altering the team selected, namely : Anderson, Hawkes, M’lnnes and v>chlesinger. It is suggested in Sydney circles that Brookes lias overlooked the claims of the New South Wales colts. • Clernenger journeyed to Melbourne at the week-end at his own expense to demonstrate his superiority over the Melbourne colts. He won one match and lost one match against M’lnnes. His match with Schlesinger was unfinished owing to bad light at 6-3, 3-6, 3-6, 6-3. The team can still be altered, provided fit is altered prior to the council confirming the selection. The American tennis authorities have notified the Australian Council that the American zone final must be completed by August 11, so as to meet the. European winners on August 16. This necessitates the departure of the Australian team early in June. Up to date, £7O has been subscribed in Sydney and Melbourne towards the £3OO required for Anderson’s business substitute.
