Berlin, Jan. 7.
An emphatic denial was issued here in connection with foreign press reports that the German sports authorities were contemplating taking action against the well-known German amateur tennis champion Baron Gottfried von Cramm in order to deprive him of his amateur status on account of the expenses charged by him during the world tour which he is now making with his partner Henner Henkel.
It is stressed in informed quarters that no reproach of any sort has been levelled at von Cramm in this respect and that his status as an amateur has never for a single moment been questioned.—Trans-Ocean H.
