right thinks that the earliness Of the play
" the cup is going to affect our players,
N Of whom get into condition until along
iuly or August. The bad weather has not
n ,ped the development OF the players TO
by extent and the show ing thus far has not
Yen n the best Added to that. the teams
pa they will meet are very strong and VIII
tTe the Americans to go very fast.
NildlNc, the Australian, has improved
foOdeTtlily, judging by the scores OF the
9tnes he has played, and this makes the
fHtralan team a mighty hard proposition,
ndNr Wright. However, If we &c; through
