Patrick j. Conway. OF the Irish
American Athletic Club, said:
sSsYes, 1t is right that Martin says he
Is out Of the game for good. I can't
bring myself to believe 1T, however.

be induced to don his toys again. You

won them back. That's what 4 hope
will happen In Martins case. hy..
the champion Is In his prime and should
have many grand years ahead OF him.

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

NEW YORK, Sept. 1t having been
found impossible to secure the consent
of William A. Larned's father to his
son leading the American teams in
competition with the English teams for
the Davis cup, the National tennis as
sociation turned to the two California
players and it was unanimously agreed
that the American side of the interna-
tional issue should be played in the
hands of Thomas o. Bundy, who was
winner of the all comers and challenger
to Larned and Maurice Z. McLoughlin
Before the committee could act Bun
dy was on his way to his home in Los
Angeles. Mclaughlin had remained in
this city and it was made certain that
he stood ready to make the trip to
Australia again as one of the American
challenging team and that he would
remain over on his way to PhiIadelphia
to compete against the British team
Bundy may not make the trip to
Australia. He is in the real estate
business and as he has devoted the en-
tire summer TO sport he thinks it NAV
be impossible for him to spare the nee
essary five or six snonths for the trip
It is planned to play the challenge cup
matches the week between Christmas
and New Years on the courts at Christ

Frank NJ. FretweI, instigator of the
proposed Western automobile associa-
ton, who called a meeting of coast
delegates for September for the for
nation of the new organization, has
deemed it wise to postpone this meet
ing on account of the northern forest
fires, and it is now planned to hold the
two events on September 1S.
The full card of entertainme will
be carried out when the motorists do
come on September II, IS and 19, and
now that there will be more time for
the hosts to prepare for the coming
of the visitors it is expected that more
features viii be added to the program.
The mammoth parade planned should
be the biggest event of the kind ever
pulled off in the northwest.
Many of the motorists who will make
the club runs to Seattle will also act
as delegates from their automobile or
ganizations to the meeting.
The convention will be held at the
Hotel Washington Annex in Seattle, on
the evening of September Is.
W. L. Hughson of Hughson & Mer-
ton. is of the opinion that it might be
advisable to affiliate with the A. A. A

that this matter should be given con-

of these men were in moderate circum-
