TENNIS COUNTRIES
SLOW TO RESPOND
Only Half the Challenges Ex-
pected by This Time
Have Arrived.
By SAMUEL j. BRoOKMAN.

Although II Is nearly n month and
half since the United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association invited all tennis playing
countries to challenge for the newly won
Davis cup, only three, Australasia, Eng
land and Spain, have responded to date.
At least double that number had been
expected TO fall in line by this time. Sew
eral weeks remain. however, before the
closing date for challenges. and it will
not be surprising IL other responses come
along Just few days before the expira-
ton of the period for entries.
A year ago, II will be remembered,
France, Holland and Canada waited un-
I'll the last minute before starting their
challenges by cable to Australasia
cable delays caused the entries to ar
rive n day late and under the rules Aus
tralasia, the cup holding country. had no
other alternative than TO postpone ac-
ceptance of the challenges until the con-
sent of tho other challenging countries
had been obtained for redraw. This
consent was obtained readily. but 1t
caused considerable Inconvenience and
change of plans, for the redraw coupled
different countries for the preliminaries.
Last years experience should have
served as q lesson to countries that an
ticipate challenging. and for that reason
Il Is expected that the United States
Lawn Tennis Association will not have
to wait until the last minute to know
the exact size of the field for the Davis
cup preliminaries. France which is GER
tain TO be competitor, Is particularly
tardy with its entry Since there Is
nothing to be lost by entering. II is diff
cult to understand why challenges as a
rule have been delayed as long as pos
sible. There Is no harm done by a
country Withdrawing afterwards pro-
vided such Withdrawal Is made before
arrangements have been completed for
its particular preliminary round.
Aside from France the countries that
the United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton still hopes to hear from are Canada.
South Africa, India. Japan, Holland and
Belgium.
II has been generally overlooked that
