Next Tenney. the manager. would
lead the club on a jog back to the

and he would arrange signals, plan

they had to work SO hard on the

THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

Add to the foolish piffle Of the age
the suggestion lately offered by Amer
lean tennis authorities that If the
Davis cut is to be PLAYED for again
the battle must be transferred to
by those in authority that the Aus
ralian season is different from ours
and that the distance is too great for
any team to remain IN condition.
Australia came 1000 miles to win the
cup in an off-Australian season.. And
having won the trophy. 1t isn't likely
whether any other. nation cares to try
and win 1t back or not. It most Ger.
tainly isn't up to America or England
to come through with any suggestions
as to where the next contest will be
staged. That part of 1t goes with the
original Australian victory. and goes
BEYOND any outside argument.

traveller in Algiers concluded to

He went to the owner with an

Other localities, pecially Ohio,
have produced stories of other
miracles of the heavens. Such
signs are not to be ignored.
History from cal lie 1T times, is
full of accounts OF such wonders,
and Invariably they have been
what sporting men would call
