AMERICAN TENNIS
CRACKS TO GO ABROAD
Whitman, Wright Brothers
and Davis Are Listed.
Ward, Who Will Retire From the Game
Will Not Be Able to Go-Do-
hertys Have Learned Our Tricks.

| AS was to be expected. after the sue
at Newport last week, an American team
will invade the courts of Great Britain
next season. This was settled in all
but the final details before the Ameri-
cans left the scene of the great con-
ficts at the Casino. The team is to be
captained by Malcomb d. Whitman, and
Dwight F. Davis is to act as his chief
lieutenant
This is the effect that the matches
have produced. The international flavor
that has been given to the sport this
year will not wear away for some time.
Ward Will Not Go.
Holcombe Ward will probably not be
able to accompany his partner in the
doubles abroad, and it is said that Ward
and Davis may never play together
again in tournaments as team. In
their place will be the Wright brothers.
Beals C. Wright and Irving C. Wright.
both of Harvard.
This pair has quietly been at work
and has shown splendid form. Many
of the experts believe that the Wrights
will prove themselves as strong on the
American courts and attain the same
position as the Doherty brothers have
on this side of the Atlantic is sure to
be far-reaching in its effect upon the
sport. The way in which they saved
themselves was revelation to the
Americans and an object lesson of great
Importance. Their safe play was with
out flaw, and this alone has been a
topic of much discussion
The top-class men now realize that
single shots and strokes of dazzling
brilliancy do not win matches, and that
the American methods must yield to a
few changes. These will surely be wit
messed. for the Britons have practically
obligated themselves to return to Amer
lea next year to challenge for that blue
ribbon of the tennis field, the Davis in
ternational cup. The plan now talked
of is to have the American team go
abroad in the early spring and return
with the English team. which is certain
TO be headed by the Doherty brothers
and TO contain at least two other
players.
Will Adopt Our Style.
While extremely modest about their
victory. the Dohertys say that it is due
to their being able to master some of
the best American methods. notably the
smash and the lob. that they won. They
think that with their safe game they
can again defeat the Yankee experts
in the doubles. All that they now lack
is the ability to hit the ball with the
great force that the Americans put into
their strokes. This week the Dohertys
will play in Canada. and then return
to New York by way of Niagara Falls.
They may play some matches here be-
fore sailing, and in the event OF these
details being arranged the scene OF the
competitions will be either at the Cres-
cent Athletic Club. at Bay Ridge. or on
the courts of the Orange Lawn Tennis
Club, at Mountain Station. n. j. Several
changes will probably be made in the
rules governing the sport before another
season comes around

the year 1864. when John A. Morrissey

toga race track to the public, has
meeting been SO successful Socially
and financially 1t has been a huge sue
cess.
The statement made at the dinner to
the directors of the club at Canfeld's
early in the week, that nearly $3.50, 900
would be cleared by the association,
tells in a nutshell what hold on the
visitors and residents of this village
racing has had during the twenty-five
days of the sport. All of the great sue
cess achieved las been due In a great
measure to the efforts of w. C. Whit
nev.
During the twenty-five days nearly
100000 was distributed to owners in
stakes and overnight sweepstakes. This
large amount was distributed among 1l3
men. The majority of the bookmakers
quit big losers.
From present indication w. II. Jack

and On the Quiet, two-year- olds at pres
ent, and Irresistible, now a three-year-
old, and a dozen two year olds which
now are yearlings being tried out. These
youngsters are the get of Imp. Loyal
