Wrcnn, president of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association, in
tends TO decline n reelection. The af-
fairs OF the national association have
become so burdensomc that Mr.. Wrenn
has been compelled TO giVc up much
time that should have been devoted t.
his business interests. and he feels that
after many years as head of tennis af-
fairs in this country he Is entitled TO
retire.
The announcement will come as n
surprise to many followers of tennis. as
few persons knew of his contemplated
action. \ year ago it was rumored
that Mr.. WTenn would not be a can
didate for reelection. but he yielded
to the pleas of his associates in the
board to remain. lie is again being I'M
portuned to continue in office. but the
business demands on his time make this
Improbable.
4 successor to Mr.. Wrenn will be
elected at the annual meeting of the

are no candidates in the field. but the
logical successor to Mr.. Wrenn is A
