TENNIS.
A CHILDISH PROPOSAL. LONDON, Wednesday. The Lawn Tennis Association proposes to debar amateurs from receiving money for broadcasting, writing newspaper articles or giving interviews about games in which they aic engaged. The ‘'‘Daily Express” editorially says; ‘‘For farcical childishness this is hard to beat. Everybody knows that tournament lawn tennis is steeped in veiled professionalism Flayers receive inducements to use special racquets and balls, they stay free in Riviera hotels, and take prizes in the form of orders on sports firms which are very easily cashed. The association does not propose to interfere with amateurs of this stamp; only with players who openly write and talk about the game. ■
