reer.

The great success OF the Bostonian,
Beals c. Wright, in the national cham
plonship lawn tennis tournament re-
Gently concluded on the Casino courts
at Newport R. l., should prove of great
incentive to the young players who
imagine that the race is only to the
swift, or, in other words, that their
ultimate chances for supremacy against
the cracks are very small.
1t is not so many years ago that
Travis took up golf and, playing in as
many matches as possible, was beaten
with monotonous regularity. But, far
from being discouraged, he stuck TO It,
with the result that he is today re-
garded By thousands as the finest ex-
ponent Of the great Scotch game this
side OF the water. Certainly as a stu
dent Of the game he has no superior.
And one might almost say the rise of
young Wright is equally notable.
Gradually year by year he has been
working his way to the top notch Of the
ladder, first obtaining recognition By
the executive committee Of the United
States Lawn Tennis association in the
year 1890 by being ranked in the eighth
place. boosted up four places the fol

final round: tn.rd position III 1902 and
fourth in the two following years.
One might really say that last year
brought him most strongly forward as
q championship possibility, for many
up to then had declared in his favor
for the doubles alone, Davis practical
ly having withdrawn from partnership
with Ward. Various round robin in
yitatlon tournaments haG given him
lots Of practice against the leaders
and time and again lie came out on top
In addition, he secured premier honors
in the New England championship, the
Massachusetts state championship (for
the fourth consecutive year. and final
ly the Canadian championship for the
third consecutive year, thus securing
the trophy, which bad been keenly con-
tested for since 1890 and which in the
fifteen succeeding years had been held
by ten different champions.
When his selection on the American
team to play in England was an.
nounced there were many who ex.
pected he would be chosen to repre-
sent his country in the singles as well
as the doubses in the effort TO regain
possession of the Davis international
cup, and, though at the last moment
Larned was chosen for this honor,
Wright thoroughly made good in the
doubles event. for the English critics
were unanimous in their praises for
his Individual work on the courts.
The left handler Is a wonderful mas

That this was fully borne out was
