INVASION WAS
NOT SUCCESS
American Athletes in
England Fail
SignaIly.

With the defeat of the American
challenge round for the Dwight Davis
cup, the last American invasion of
England for the summer came to an
end. Taken as whole, the various at
tempts of the athletes to gain honors
abroad this year completely failed. OF
the half dozen invasions, but two Were
successful, and it fell to the lot of a
mere girl to carry off the only honors
sarnered in England.
Miss May Sutton, the holder of the
woman IS championship in tennis, sue
ceeded in capturing the English title,
but the. honor does not fall to America
completely, for Miss Sutton is an
English woman, although brought up
on the Pacific Coast. Then, too, Null
cahy and Marley won the double SOULS
at Hamburg.
But in every other respect the in
vasion was a failure. The Vesper
Boat club crew of Philadelphia failed
Henley; the Seventh regiment rifle
team was defeated at Bisley by the
queen S Westminster volunteers; the
American college athletes, now touring
England, have met with but little sue
cess, and the American auto team was
unplaced in the race for the interna-
tional bennett srophy.
The defeat of the American tennis
team was a disappointment to follow
ers of the sport in the States, for it
was thought that after the magnificent
play in the preliminary rounds the
team had an excellent chance to re-
cover the trophy won here in 1908.
That the team would be defeated in
straight matches was not expected, de-
spite the caliber of the cup defenders.
In some quarters there is disposition
to question the selection o. the team in
that Beals c. Wright was left out of
the singles.
All reports from England give uni
versal prominence to Wright s playing,
and it was confidently expected after
his remarkable playing against the
Australian, Brookes. he would be one
of the players to enter the singles. The
1dcC IHdI oTOOhSS UeIeaIeu smith anu
was in turn defeated by Wright
showed the latter s caliber, for Smith
later defeated Larned in the challenge
round.
There are many close followers of
tennis who believe that Wright is the
coming American champion in singles.
1t is reported that he will go in more
for single play hereafter.
The play showed that the Dohertys
are not equaling their game of two
years ago, but at that they are trifie
too steady for the American experts.
This appeared to be their one great ad-
vantage over the players of this ccG--
try in the Davis cup matches. Re-
CARELESS of how the scores were set
against them, they were never beaten
back or hustered and returned shot
after shot while waiting for their OPP
ponent S game.
Even the English accounts of the
play admit that in service and killing
returns the American players were
equal to or surpassed the home ex
perts. 1t was at the crucial moments
of the play that the Dohertys proved

MIGHT HAVE
COME HERE
PugiIist ST. Clair Ham
kered for These
Islands.

There is boxer named ST. Clair who
has for the past few years been col
lecting easy money in China and the
Philippines. Every now and again he
threatened to come here and clean up
the local champions, but was always
discovered before the steamer was too
far from shore for the ships officers to
return him to his sorrowing friends.
He has. Just been heard from in En-
gland, where he was recently defeated
by an amateur.
The following is from the London
Sporting Times:
When the amateur boxer, Geoff
Thorn, made such very small potatoes
of st. Clair, the much-advertised Amer
lean champion, at the N. S. c., the
other night, one of the many cutting
remarks of the evening came from Bill
Baxter, who was one of the seconds.
After he had been knocked off his feet
for the third time in two minutes, he
lay prone on his back, rolling his head
and his eyes; meantime Thorn. recefv-
ing the verdict, left the ring. Bill
Baxter bent over st. Clair, still on the
ground more scared than hurt, and
roared in a whisper like distant thun-
der:
You can get up; he's put his coat
on an gore home!''
Chas. st. Clairs first fight in the Far
East was with 'tMaxy'' Kane in Manila
in 1902, Kane easily defeating him. He
then deserted from the army and went
to China, where he met Billy Bellew
and Jack Grace, losing to the latter on
a foul committed by kicking Grace in
the abdomen. His next field was India,
and he was practically driven out of
that country, after being cut to rib
bons in a glove contest with Sergt.
Smith of the British army.
