The decision to use English lawn
tennis balls in the international
matches is to be followed by the de-
mand on the part of the Australians
to play the matches under the Eng
lish rules. According to the decidedly
pro-foreign feeling in this country at
the present time, the great American
sportsmen will applaud these conces-
sions. OF course, we may be beaten
because of the disadvantages we are
sure to suffer, but that's nothing.
We are so fair in sports and my how
proud we are of the fact! We are
yelling our heads off in order that
Sir Thomas Upton will be able to
corral the Americas cup in the yacht
races, and if we can only arrange it
so that the English poloists will have
, sufficient advantage to capture the

meet the foreigners in important
