1O.-The American and German ten
mis- representatives clash to-day in
the second round of the Dwight f.
Davis international lawn tennis cup
matches. Although the weather has
not been at all favorable for tennis.
Harold H. Hackett, captain of the

can players are in good form. The
Germans are complaining Of the eli
mate. Yesterdays draw is looked
upon as being favorable to the Ameri-
can players
Froitzheim is Germany's strongest
singles player so it is considered just
as We'll for the American team that
he should meet Maurice e. McLaugh-
lin, Americas champion, in the first
days play. The showing made by
Kreutzer, of Germany. in the all Eng
fish championship, hardly justifes
the belief that he can beat r. Norris

Although the Americans are the ia

UNCLE SAM To
HELP TOURING
BALL TEAMS
By James Clarkson.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The United
States Government has decided
to take recognition of the fac;
that the Chicago White Sox and New
York Giants are going to take a tour
Of the world during the fall and win
ter months. A letter to that effect
has reached President Comlskey'
office
Now, when you come to study a
little, than means a whole lot to the
interested parties of that wonderful
tour, on which the performers of
Comiskey's world famous White Soy
and John McGraw's always fighting
Giants are to show to the other civ
ilized nations of the world what a
wonderful pastime baseball really is
Callahan Called on Bryan. ..
When the White Sox played in
Washington during their Eastern in
vasion early in June Manager Jimmy
Callahan called on William Jennings
Bryan. The call was for the express
purpose of interesting the Secretary
Of State in the contemplated trip of
the baseball OUTFIT. Colonel Bryan
has never been much of a student of
baseball-in fact, he inquired of the
surprised Callahan whom the White
SoX represented. He also wanted to
know where McGraw's Giants hailed
from. He forgot to ask whether or
not all Of McGraw's men were huge
of size
Wilson Approves of Plan.
After the short interview Callahan
left the Secretary's office. and while
he was treated Courteously, he was
none too favorably impressed. He
had an idea. IF I could only see the
big bOss-Presidert wilson, might
be able to get better satisfaction. "
thought Cal. To make a long story
very short, Cal was accorded the in
terview with the President and the
Executive informed him that he would
not only do all in his power to make
the trip a success, but that he be-
lleved in it and he personally hoped
II would terminate as expected.
Bryan Writes to Callahan.
Yesterday we learned from Commy
that he had recently received a let
ter from Secretary Bryan. When
asked what news the letter brought,
if any. Commy stated that Mr.. Bryan
had written him most cordially con-
corning the proposed trip. Further
more, he requested Commy to send
him. as soon as possible, the itinerary
of the trip. Once he gets that, he
has promised to notify the American
Consuls in the various cities to be
visited to give all the help possible
to the visit of the Sox-Gi combine.
So, after all, it will be seen that Cars
short visit to President Wilson last
month was not merely a press stunt
With the old L. s. Government in
favor of the trip and throwing favors
in our way, we should show a lot OF
speed in the foreign lands" said Cal
yesterday when referring to the
Bryan letter

as high as the 1918 Gulls
Finn probably established a prece-
dent in perfecting a league-Ieading
team with the cash expenditure of
$4,000
After the close of last years race,
Demaree was forwarded to the New
York Giants for 10000 Remaining
on the twirling staff were Campbell
Berger and Cavet. For $4,000 Rob-
ertson was secured from the Indian
apolis club, while Hogg was obtained
for a small sum. Thus the twirling
staff was rounded for few shekels.
In the infield, Paulette, Starr and
O'Dell we're returned. Stock was
shunted from the Giants in the Dem
aree trade. Thus the infield was
perfected without an expenditure of
cent. The oHtfield, consisting IF
Jacobson, Robertson and Clark was
secured for a pittance. Jacobson was
returned by the Giants at the be-
ginning Of the season for the price
of recall in 1912. Robertson was
grabbed from the Giants on an OPP
tiOnal agreement. costing $500. Clark
was the property of the Gulls. farmed
out to the Texas League, and cost
Mickey nothing. When Jackson was
put out McGill, gathered in the Gull
fold at the opening of the season for
the signing, was recalled from Pensa-
cola. The catchers were grabbed
without loosening a kopeCk from the
Golfers, as Larry Brown was a free
agent and Schmidt was obtained via
the same route.
IF the Crackers can tear a hole in
the shattered Gulls and do some
damage to the Billikens next week
they will pull out for the South with
the prospects bright They will have
a hard trip ahead of. them. but they
win be right up in the running OF
course, the Southern trip is likely to
mean a big slump But when the
club gets home again il ought 10 be

The Crackers are back in there
fighting again and that means trouble
for any opposition.
