Another International team that viii
IN all likelihood visit America this sea
son win be composed OF crioketers. Att
er the visit OF Prince Ranjltsinghrs
eleven last fan II was thought that the
Englishmen would not send over a team
this year owing 10 the financial ana
other troubles connected with the
princes tour. But now It is pretty wen
settled that Mr.. s. II. Wood, captain OF
the Derbyshife eleven, has got together
a side composed Of exceptionally good
amateurs Some Of those who, II is
said. will make the voyage have been
over here on former cricket teams.
Among these are c. ]. Burnup, b. j. T.
Bosanquet and c. Wreford Brown.
The Derbyshire skipper and his crew
will make the tour under the auspices
OF the Associated Cricket Clubs OF Phil
adelphia. Besides a series OF matches
at Philadelphia games will probably be
arranged In New York, Boston. Bait

The international committee OF the
United States Lawn Tennis sssocla-
ton has recently announced that the
expected international matches viii
surely be held The most important OF
these viii be FOR the new Davis chal-
lenge trophy, which was first put up
last winter.
The Brltishers have practically agreed
TO all the conditions named by the
American committee, and only a few
details remain 10 be settled. The com
ing matches will be the first ever OFF,
clally recognized between the experts
OF the two countries, as all the former
visitors on both sides have always play
ed on their individual responsibility.
Speculation Is rife as to the compost
ton OF the teams for this international
tournament. AS the true form OF the
players this year will not be known
when the time for nominating them
comes. Il Is probable that they will be
chosen on the results Of last years OFF,
clal rating. II such be the case, NJ. d.
Whitman. last years champion, and d.
F. Davis. the donor Of the trophy will
almost certainly be selected for the sin
giles. and Davis and Ward, the national
champions IA doubles, for that style OF
game. It Is a notable fact that these
three players are all college men, and.
besides. all learned their tennis at the
same versity-Harvard.

Harry Vardon the wonderful golfer
who recently made a tour OF this coun-
try. was no better IN this respect than
his predecessors IN other lines OF money
making. While he was here he praised
our golf links. some Of which he de-
clared were as good as any In England
or Scotland. The average OF our play
ers. ne declared. was very hlgh-much
better. In fact. than he had expected.
No sooner had he landed IN England,
/ however, than he changed his tune.
To interviewers over there he express
ed very poor opinion OF American
links and players. He declared that
Atlantic city possesses the only real
golf course he saw, as on the others
one almost requires a nlblick on the
green's. He regards Low as our best
professional, though he condescended 20
say that Willie Smith is pretty good.
According 10 him. Findlay Douglas is
the only fair scratch amateur We pos
sess, and he further states that, with
the exception Of the ex-amateur cham
pion. the average English scratch play
er could easily beat any Of our men.

bered that we are living Ia the days n

Nothing is yet definitely known as to
the probable make up Of the challenging
team. but II has been rumorcd for
some time that 1t viii consist Of the
Doherty brothers and H. s. Mahony
The Doherty boys are the champions
OF England In doubles, and both play
splendidly In singles as well. Mahony
has spent two seasons In America. HIS
last visit 10 this country was in 1891
when he was placed fifth in the official
ranking. In that year Whitman held
seventh place, so that their meeting,
should Il occur, win be very interesting
as showing which Of the two men has
improved more in the interval. Besides
Il VIII be a very fair test Of the relative
merits Of the finest players Of the two
leading tennis countries.
The visiting team will probably APP
near at Longwood, Newport and South

matches. so that all our experts will be
likely TO have a chance to test the met
tie Of the Britishers. The international
