Davis Cup bookings heavy

The opening and booking for the season tickets for Davis Cup seats in Auckland was marked by enthusiasm probably unequalled in the dominion. The queue started forming at 11pm on Sunday night, and by 3am on Monday several had assembled. In the first week the takings for season tickets equalled that for the complete period of the last Davis Cup contest. It is proposed shortly to display a plan of the courts in this city, enabling holders of tickets to ascertain the position of seats booked. — ODT, 12.11.1920.
