COMPETITORS in the Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon have many difficulties to face in their passage towards the Finals. Not the least of these, in many instances, is their position in the ' Draw' : for it often happens that a player, or pair, would go a long way, and in certain cases reach the Final, were it not for the fact that they had to play and defeat some player of outstanding merit in an early round.
For this reason, to prevent the giants cutting one another's heads off too soon, the authorities have in recent years ' seeded ' the Draw, which means that the great ones are deliberately placed in different sections. Colonel Brand is going to tell us all about this and a lot more in his talk this evening.
