London, April 14.
It is understood that Shimidzu has cabled from Calcutta that he will not be able to represent Japan in the Davis Cup tics this year.
Further efforts are being made through the National Tennis Club of Japan to obtain his release from business, with a view to his partic-pating in Japan's debut into international tennis.
W. TT. Tilden, the American World's Champion, expresses the opinion that Japan will be the challengers for the Davis Cup if Shimidzu plays.—Reuter.
