HARMED MAY LEAD AMERICAN
TENNIS TEAM TO AUSTRALIA

thoroughly representative team would
go forth from these shores to try to
recover the cup. This state of affairs
is in strong contrast to the situation
that existed a year ago, when the best
that could be said was hope that a
team would be sent abroad.
There were certain obstacles then
which prevented any definite state
ment on the matter. but now things are
different. and 1t is certain that America
will be on hand for the big games 1t
can be said with good ground for the
assumption that the best player in
America. William A. Larned, will be
the man who will lead the team this
year. Whether the rest of the team
will be made up OF California cracks
such as Mclaughlin. Long and Bundy
depends much on the outcome of the
national championships at Newport.
The rules permit the utilization of
four men on team. Two of these may
be used for the singles and two for the
doubles fifth man may be kept in
reserve in case of accident or illness
to any of the regulars. 1t Is very like
ly that America will avail itself of the
opportunity to send the full quota of
men, and IN that way a better team
can be chosen with a smaller number
of men. There Is practically no doubt
that the elder Larned will be the lead
er and that he will be first choice for
the singles.
Naturally one turns to Beals Wright.
whose record in the past big matches
speaks for itself. but this season has
not found him doing any great work
on the courts. Whether he has got
to the point where his best tennis days
are over or that he is merely short of
work and slow in getting into form,
is debatable question. His tennis
from now will be watched very
closely and unless he shows better at
the big tournaments of the Meadow
Brook Club, at Southampton and New
port, than he has done so far. there
is not much chance of his going abroad
as a member Of the team.

RACING BILL PASSES

law within a race track enclosure.
passed the senate yesterday by vote
of &c to b.
The issue was in doubt until the last
minute, when Senator Griffin of New
York cast the deciding ballot. The bill
is expected to come up In the assem-
bly, today and President r. T. Wilson
and Secretary Miller of the Saratoga
Racing association, who have been here
constantly for two weeks in the inter-
est of the measure, are hopeful of a
favorabel result in the lower house.
They are dubious, however, as to what
action Governor Dix will take, but said
that If the executive approval is forth

More Than Probable That
Veteran Will Make Trip i.
to Antipodes.

Lawn tennis, which is practically at
its height now, has been productive in
the tournaments to date of more real
surprises than in a decade. Every one
who is interested in this sport is ma
turally looking forward to the selec-
ton of the team which will go to the
Antipodes this fall in quest of the Da-
Wis cup, and from what has happened
in the early tournaments there has
been all manner CT guessing as to just
who will be the ultimate selection for
the international matches.
For a great many years there have
been a few who stood SO far above the
others that there was no difficulty in
picking the best men in the country.
When 1t comes to the selection of a
leader there is no question of the SUI
periority of William A Larned, who
has so often carried off the national
championship. but he has ever found it
impossible to go abroad for the pur-
pose of retrieving the blue ribbon tro-
ply of the tennis world for family
reasons.
For one reason or another the COM
mittee which has charge of the team
to represent America has been more or
less reticent in the mention OF the
names of any of the men who will
make up the team of foreign invaders.
but assurance has been given that one
of the strongest combinations that has
ever played in this country will be
found pitting their skill against the
best that can be found in other quar-
tiers when the time comes for the ties
to be played off
Not long ago Robert D. Wrenn, OF
the Davis cup committee, stated that a
