DAMS CUP RULES
NEW SERVICE REGULATION PRO-
POSED MUCH DIFFERENT
i
FROM PRESENT CODE. II

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-If to atone
for it's oversight in permitting tbs
formation of the international lawn
tennis federation, the English Lawn
Tennis association Is now coming TO
the fore with numerous suggestions
for changes in the Davis cup and
general tennis playing rules. Uh0
English Lawn Tennis association pros
poses to submit at the International
Lawn Tennis Federation meeting In
March new service regulation,
which is at wide divergence with thu
present code,
The radical departure from tho
existing rule can be perceived when
II is understood that If the new regu-
lation is adopted it will be Necessary
for the server to replace the foot
raised from the ground in service be-
hind the base line before stepping
into the court instead of swinging
into the court with the raised foot
once the service is completed. as Il
permissible under the existing code.
This change would have the effect OF
slowing up the player who followed
his service with rush for the net
and SIncA- a large proportion of Eng
glish players advocate the deep court
game would be less detrimental to tbs
English game than to that of almost
any otneF country where tennis HAa
reached high-class status
A number of changes in the rules
governing the Davis cup play are also
put forward as desirable. although
England lost the international tennis
trophy last July when the United
States team defeated the cup def6n-
ders three matches out of five.
The English Lawn Tennis associa-
ton would allow the playing OF Davis
cup matches on turf or natural or
artificial gritty material which de-
scription appears more likely to IA
gravel than a dirt court Another
proposed change would bar a player
from competing for any country but
the one which he represented In his
first Davis cup play.
The powers of the referees also
are increased by the suggested
changes as we'll as number OF rather
technical alterations proposed which
leads one to wonder that these al
terations in the code governing an
international trophy donated by an
American were not proposed at
time previous to the loss of the cup
by England.
