Dayls Gun Issue Up Again.

American lawn tennis players freely
express doubts as to a challenging
team being sent to Australia for the
Davis International cup this ear
Three important reasons are RESPONSE
BILE for this practically unanimous
opinion In the first place. William A..
Larned. national champion and nestor
of the courts OF this country. has ex-
pressed himself as disposed to retire
permanently from the game. 1t is also
probable that Frederick B. Alexander
and Harold II. Racket. national cham
pions In doubles. will not be seen to-
gether again as q pair and are likely
to default their holding of the cham
pionship at Newport in August.
Lastly. the all important matter of
sufficient funds necessary TO defray the
expenses OF the American teams jour-
ney to Australia may not be secured
from the treasury of the United States
National Lawn Tennis association.
The project has been suggested OF re-
peating the experiment of several years
ago by raising the necessary money by
subscription, Such a method WAS not
highly successful at that time and Is
generally frowned upon now.

there has been a noticeable increase in
betting at the bah parks in Detroit.

President Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can league recently sent out a bulletin
t. every nagnate in the Junior organ

betting. Not alone this, but he has in

at a b~ookmaking element. He has
learned that booking is being lone
on the games in Chicago and in De-

wade the Baseball parks. and II this
comes to pass 1t won't be long before
the game will be in bad repute.
