Whatever may be the sectional and

OF kindred causes for controversy
there is one ground upon which the
American players meet with unanimity
Of opinion, in expressing belief that the
Davis International challenge cup shall
be annually sought until returned to
this country. That there are grave
difficulties to be met is realized. this
all the more as Beals G. Wright and
Frederick B. Alexander have expert
.enced the effects of Australian sum-

have made plain the arduous task that

Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1909-06-17
would be played about July 1. AS an
American team Is long way from

being picked-for such team would
necessarily have to sail in few
wceks-it is evident that the American
oiiciaIs do not look with favor upon
an Invasion OF the English courts. The
chief difficulty which confronts the
Alncrican officials is that the season
here is late, having just begun. while
that in England is in full swing.
In this country it is the time of much
in and out form, and because of the
unusual weather only few Of the
topmost fight have done anything
more than engage in an exhibition
match or two at the formal opening Of
various courts. To add to the dis
tressing situation the two men Of last
years team, Beals c. Wright and Fred
erick B. Alexander, have both early
and firmly declared their retirement.
Naturally attention turns to the "old
brigade"-William A. Larned, the nes-
tor Of the American courts; William j..
Clothier, a former national champion;
Malcolm d. Whitman, in his day the
invincible player Of the courts; Dwight
r. OuNlS, returning veteran, anu
