England is coming back as a world
power in sports. The spirit is re-
viving which makes any nation a
worthy leader. The change has been
noted since the war.
Her weakness has been her own
complacency. She has originated
games, taught them to the world,
and then sat back satisfied to see
other countries develop the stars
and cash In.
To be a winner in sport the play
ers must take it seriously
That is what England has not
done in the past.
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy and Miss
Mark X. Browne, both come backs
in tennis, are playing brilliantly in
their early tests.
How these women nave retained
their former greatness Is truly re-
markable.
They seem to have stepped back
on the courts from their yesterdays.
the same stars they were several
years ago as champions.
About them there is still the orig.
inal poise and mechanical skill.

tion Clear Regarding Worlds

inability to find a suitable representa-
tive who can make the trip to Paris, tho
United States Lawn Tennis Association
has been compelled TO decline the invita-
ton Of the International Tennis Fedora
tion 70 send a delegate 10 its annual
meeting in Paris on March is. However.
the American officials have notified the
federation az their support of the move
meut 70 have universal tennis code
established and have repeated the asser-
ton made a year ago that the United
States association could not consider
Joining the federation unless it's policy
Of awarding worlds championships to
any one country as a perpetual annual
fixture was altered.
The federation is 10 consider revisions
of the Davis Cup regulations. the ques-
tion of the relation or tennis TO other
sports in the Olympic games, a worlds
championship for professionals and
other details incidental to the manage
ment oi championship events.
In stating that the United States
would be unable to send a representa-
tive, Julian s. Myrick president wrote
to the federation as follows:
MY association appreciates more than
l can tell you the thought which
prompted this invitation. and we have
tried very hard TO have representative
30 over to attend your meeting, but find
that owing to business conditions here
II is impossible for any of those whom
we would consider proper representatives
TO take the time required for the trip
This being the case. ] hope that YOU
will pardon our absence. Please feel.
however. that We are no less interested
In the great work which the fedora ton
seeks TO do.
THE view of our association is this:
The annual meeting Of a year ago took
the position as explained by our repre-
sentatives Messrs Washburn and Will
liams. that our association could not see
its way clear to Join the federation until
the matter of championships in per-
petuity was disposed of by your fedora
ton. Our association feels, however.
that there has been considerable progress
made in this direction during the past
year and / am enclosing herewith for
your Information the report made by our
committee having charge of matters re-
latlng to foreign policies and the Inter-
national Federation TO the annual meet
ing on February 3, 1921.
1T is also the opinion of those OF Us
who have TO do with the executive part
of the game that the laws and general
conduct of tennis all over the world are
almost in accord so far s the funda'
mentals are concerned. They differ ~
some countries only as TO details. and
IL is our hope by exchange of views,
players. &C.. to bring these various az
4 ferences into harmonious accord IL
4 would be a pleasure for us to work 70
/ II.accompllsh this ideal through the fed
Grafton. II II were possible for US TO agree
with its policy as to perpetual award
! OF the worlds championship. Lacking
