ONE OF THE OLD GUARD.
M. ~. G. Richie. too Is one of the
old guard. This is plainly evident lin

the front rank of players for years
and has won most of the Continental
championships; yet. until this season
| he has always fallen Just short of the
| highest English honors. Probably there
is,no man in the world who plays more
lawn tennis than Richie. During tho
| English season he takes partsin all the
leading tournaments, finding relaxation
by spending his Sundays on the river
He has a houseboat at Walton-orl-
Thames and rows In several OF tha
Thames regattas.
AS soon as the English season is over
Ritchie HES himself off to the cont.

Nice and Monte Carlo. He has gained
prizes at every one of these tourna-
ments, and has won the German cham
pionship five times In the last sin
years The leading American players
are familiar with his style. Recently
however, he has become a convert In a
slight degree to the American service
of Beals Wrishts, while retaining all
his old driving power. and soundness
in his base-line play.
PARKE HAS SoBERED DOWN.
j. c. Parke. the Irish champion,

but since then lie has sobered down a
lot His service in particular shows
increased certainty While his speed In
the court has also to be treckoned With.
Parke is so anxious to play in Boston

Especial Correspondence.

| r ONDON, Aug. 5.,7--"Why not a
i Davis cup for wornen?''is the
question that is being asked by
lady lawn tennis plaHerstin Eng
! land now that the championship
matches at Wimbledon are. over and 1t
has been decided definitely that.6th
match for the American Cup" of the
| lawn tennis world shall be played for
| in America again this year. The women
| champions in this country want a
| chance to prove their skill against the
lady opponents of the game across the
| Atlantic in Il series of international
| matches, This plan has two en-
thusiastic supporters in Miss Dora
Boothby, the woman champion, and
| Miss Morton. the other finalist in the
English championship. !, In talking
| about the effect of such games Miss
Boothby said
Il am quite sure we could get up
a strong team Of English ladies to play,
against America or any other country
II the matter was taken seriously in
hand. We have frequently talked 1t
over among ourselves, and several of
our best players have told me they
would go to America to play and as
gladly welcome American ladies who
come TO England to play against us
II believe such an international
meeting would do lawn tennis good.
and as the men have their Davis Gun,
fcompetition.iwhy should not the ladies
OF the various countries have a similar
tournament? The preliminaries could
soon be arranged and the financial
aspect of the affair settled on the same
lines as the Davis Cup.
!! Ot course we cannot expect such
proposal to be accepted immedia tely.
YET tnlnk the time has come for us
TO have these matches: and If the
ladies Of America will take the matter
up we might meet them either in Am
erica or England in 19l0.,'
STRONG ENGLISH TEAM.
Stronger than ever is the verdict
on the team of men who will visit the
United States this year to represent
England in the match for the Davis
international cup. 1t now has been
definitely decided that the match Will
take place in Boston some time about
Sept, %, and the English committee
has been hard at work trying to inn
prove on the team which went over
in 1908.

How keen Engishmen are about The
Davis cup is shown by the fact that

Instead of careening into the city in

the government, army officers will, af-
ter the end of the month, revert back
to the mule. From Washington there
has come an order abolishing the auto
mobile and officially recommending the
mule as means of transportation for
the heads of army departments. The
automobiles came into the army after
the fire, when a kind government al

Navy Enlargement.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Plans have
been completed for the five torpedo
boat destroyers authorized by, the last
naval appropriation bill, and they now
await the formal approval of the
board of construction before the speci-
fcations are issued, inviting bids from
builders.
These vessels are to have the high
est practicable speed and are to cost,
exclusive of armament, not to exceed
100000 each.
Work on the plans for the two new
battleships, the Arkansas and the
Wyoming, also is being pushed. These
vessels are to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding $6,000,-
600 each.
Profting by the experiences of the
round-theworld cruise of the Atlantic
battleship feet, the plans for these
ships are expected to include the latest
development in battleship construction.

o nthe Logan from Manila, has been
assigned to the command of the De-

at st. Paul, MINI. This is not only an
important and most desirable position,
but General Hodges was also given the
choice between that and the command

command of the Columbia if he wishes
to change, and, again, the vacancy may
be allotted to General Maus.

Have no Charts
When the imminent peril to Ameri-
can lives and property in Turkey led
the American officials the other day to
order the armored cruisers North Caro-
lima and Montana to proceed at the
utmost speed to Alexandretta, in
Asiatic Turkey, striking reply was
received at the Navy Department from
the commanding officers, says the
Washington Star of May 6.
Have no charts came the words
by wireless from the assembled vessels
at the naval station at Guantanamo,
Cuba. To have steamed to New York
to obtain the necessary charts of the
Mediterranean waters to be visited
was to imperil American lives and
American interests just SO many days,
besides mourning an additional cost.
1t being time of peace, the United
States was able to purchase the desired
chart from Great Britain. The Ameri-
can warships started for Turkey, con-
tent to be guided in times of need by
British maps and charts.
Battleship Fleet Incident.
When the battleship feet was order
ed to prepare for the trip around the
world it took the Navy Department
four months to ''buy, beg and borrow :"
the 1000 maps and charts necessary not
only for the battleships, but for vessels
of all kinds that accompanied the big
ships of war.
Practically every officer of high rank
that sailed on the feet has Joined with
commercial and maritime organizations
and interests in asking for an extern
sion of the work of the photographic
bureau of the Navy Department, eharg-
ed with the responsibility of survey
ing the oceans. The most urgent ap-
peal for additional information in re-
gard to the oceans comes from COM
mercial organizations along the gulf
1t is probable that a campaign will
be conducted for radical increase in
the work of the photographic bureau,
which not only furnishes charts and
maps for the American Navy, but is
the only branch of the government
that can thus aid the commerce of the
United States.
