DAVIS CUP ISSUE UP AGAIN.
Doubt Expressed as to Players Be-
ing Sent to Australia.

NEW YORK, May 2o.-American lawn
tennis players freely express doubts as
to challenging team being sent to Aus
tralia for the Davis international cup this
year. Three important reasons are re-
sponsible for this practically unanimous
opinion. In the first place, William A.
Larned, national champion and nestor of
the courts of this country, has expressed
himself as disposed to retire permanent
ly from the game. It is also probable
that Frederick B. Alexander and Harold
H. Hackett, national champions In
doubles, will not be seen together again
as pair, and are likely to default their
holding of the championship at Newport
in August.
Lastly. the all-important matter Of SUI
flcient funds necessary to defray the ex-
penses of the American teams journey to
Australia may not be secured from the
treasury Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association. The project
has been suggested of repeating the ex-
pertinent 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.

1t begins to look as though the East
'ern Athletic club will never win game
in the Capital City League. At present
the standing of the club is seven games
lost and not a single break into the win
column.
The lack of pitchers is the main reason
for the clubs poor showing. The rest OF
the teau seems to have been doing good
work but the twirling which the team
has had has been way below par, and
no. of a class to compete with the other
teams in the Capital City League. which
numbers among its tWirlers some of the
best in the city.

some changes would be made in the eight

They will be ordered after a conference

Pennsylvania race at Springfield, and
Tucker and Howe being tried the last
week also with unsatisfactory results.
There is talk of a return to Van Sim
deren, as his work has been better than
the two later occupants of the seat. The
new English stroke which has been
taught by Coach Kennedy the last year
has not brought results, and change Is
being debated. Some notifications are
likely to be made Immediately.

Eight straight defeats, and no relief in
sight. Having failed against both ST.
Louis and Cleveland, but little is to be
expected of the Nationals during their
stay in Detroit. unless it should happen
that Walter johnson should display good
form against the Tigers. There has not
been a single game played on the pres
ent trip in which any one of the local
pitchers has pitched TO form. All of
them without exception have done poorly.
and to this must be attributed the mis-
cradle showing the team has made to
date.
True, there is not much In base ball
dope, and while the Nationals do not
figure to get game in Detroit. they may
upset calculations and make a better
showing there than they have at their
last two stops. 1t is, of course. question

fellows services, he is right in not using

ing him time to recuperate. Johnson Is
apt to do great work for the rest OF the
season, and to work him too soon might
give him a setback and make him use
less for the balance of the season.
Aside from playing poorly and lacking
good pitching, luck has been against the
y atlOndiS, as II always Is against d ioSci
It seems impossible for any one on the
team to make an error without ii prov
ing costly. Any sort of slip-up means
runs for the opposing teams, and on sew
eral occasions games have been lost after
chance to retire the side, in the inning
in which the opposition made its runs,
had been offered.
In order to shorten the games as much
as possible President Johnson has issued
orders to the umpireS to do away with
the pitcher throwing five balls in warming
up before each inning. 1t is figured that
this will save some time and get the
games over in not more than two hours.
The long games made possible by the
use of the new lively ball are causing no
end of dissatisfaction among the specta-
tors in all the cities. and there is no doubt
that the patrons of the sport would be
better pleased if the new ball were ahol-
ished This will undoubtedly be done,
but not until the present supply of lively
balls has been used up. 1t would, how
ever. probably be better to dump the
present supply of balls into the sewer
than take any chances Of inJuring the
games popularity. which the present
state OF affairs is undoubtedly doing.
Unless the unexpected should happen In
Detroit this week, there is a splendid
chance of the Nationals returning here
in last place. At this time the Browns
are but a game and half behind the Ma
tionals, and they are playing much bet
ter ball than are the locals, winning a
game occasionally. at any rate. No one
would have suspected that the Browns

NEW YORK, May 22.-Although Ok
ford declined to accept Harvard's chal-
Ienge to meet the Crimson in an inter-
national rowing race, Harvard and Yale
will be able to row at Henley this year
IL they so desire. According to a dis
patch from London, the stewards of the
Henley regatta have decided to make an
exception in the rules this year. The
challenge will allow Harvard and Yale
to compete for the Grand Challenge cup.
If either Yale or Harvard decides to send
a crew to London the Americans will
meet Magdalen and Jesus colleges. In
the race will also be crews from Ottawa
and Argentina.
