Tennis Men May Not
Send Challenge Team
to Australia for Cup
Three Important Reasons Are Given
for This Practically Unani.
nous Opinion.

NEW YORK. May s7.-American lawn
tennis players freely express doubts as to
a challenging team being sent TO Australia
for the Davis international cup this year.
Three important reasons are responsible
for this practically unanimous opinion In
the first place, William 4 Larned, national
champion and nestor Of the courts Of this
country, has expressed himself AZ disposed
to retire permanently from the game. 1t
Is also probable that Frederick d. Alex
ander and Harold II, Haskell, national
champions in doubles. will not be seen to-
gether again as a pair. and are likely to
default their holding Of the championship
at Newport in August.
Lastly. the all important matter OF suf-
ficient funds necessary 20 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 experiment
Of several years ago by raising the necas-
sary money by subscription. Such a
method was not highly successful At that
time, and IL generally rrowned upon now.
