RInghorer. II is understood that the Amcri-
cans have a fine chance to get out Of playing
one tie. that with the French. The French
body governing lawn tennis objects to paving
expenses to send a team TO Liverpool, where
the matches between the French and Ameri-
cans are scheduled for next Friday, Saturday
and Monday. They are willing to pay for
sending a team to London
Further than that. NJ. Decougis IL absent
from Paris and his return is uncertain. II
he does not appear it is unlikely that me
French will present a team. He and Germot
represented France against the Americans
last year and the United States won by 5
matches to o. While it might not be an adj
vantage to get out of meeting the French,
the players from the United States would be
able TO go into the Northern championships
which are held at Liverpool beginning June
I and thus would get some excellent practice
against the British cracks. Wilding, who
has been carrying everything before him,
probably will be a starter in that tournament
and a match bet Nren him and one of the
Americans would be great practice.
