Curtail Major Tournaments Across Austral ia War Time
Melbourne May 18 major tennis events in Austral ia are likely to be cancelled for the war duration. Sir Norman Brookes head of the Lawn Tennis Association supports cancellation as the right move to focus on war efforts. Davis Cup captain Harry Hopman says his view carries weight with council members, noting Adelaide championships set for January 1941 complicate immediate action. If a quick council vote occurs, South Australian delegates may back cancellation despite no current prep need.
