MAYES TO PLAY o
DAVIS TENNIS CUP

Winnipeg, Man. April Though
the snow is just beginning to make its
disappearance and the spring bird has
not been heard in these parts yet. the
members of the Canadian tennis cam
who will make a bid for the Davis cup
in England this year are preparing to
leave to take part in the preliminary
matches across the pond. In fact
Bobby Powell of Victoria, B. c., is
now speeding east on his way to the
old country. Business affairs in Eng
land are the main cause of his early
departure. but Mr.. Powell plans to
put in two or three weeks practice at
Wimbledon. where the Davis matches
will be played.
In this he will have an advantage
over II. 6. Mayes of Winnipeg and
Byrnie Schwengers Of Victoria, the
other members of the Canadian team,
as these two players will not arrive at
the scene Of the contests until a few
days before Canada meets South
Africa in the opening round. Mayes
will be handicapped from the fact
big matches without much practice as
the long winter in Winnipeg does not
afford him much chance to WELD the
racquet. But MIR. Mayes intends to
be in the best of condition to do him
self justice in the big matches. He
has Deer training hard all winter to
Keep in shape and expects to get
enough practice with handling the
tennis ball before the big games in
order to be in pretty fair shape,
though II the matches had taken
place about July or August he would
be able to show his best form. The
Winnipeg champion showed remark
able form in his playing here last year
and all local tennis enthusiasts Will
hope that he shows his usual form
over the pond.

with hearty thanksgivings and general
good cheer next Saturday night. 1t
was originally planned to play at Ter
re Haute, Ind, on the way north, but
the floods in the Indiana country have
made 1t necessary to call that contest
off. Instead the players will go di-
rectly to Chicago and rest up for the
struggle with the Cubs No. 2 on Tues
day afternoon.
Chicago and may stop at Winona. Joe
Cantillon and Lefty Davis r just
now engaged in a long distance COM
munication contest looking to the ar
rangement Of a game between the
Millers and the Winona Northern
league club in the southern Minnesota
town on April 9, the day before the
Minneapolis team opens with Indian
apolis at Nicollet park. The only
thing that may prevent the game with
Winona will be the lack Of players on
the part of Davis. His men are not
billed to report for some time yet. but
he says that if he can scare up nine
or ten men the game will be staged.
Northwestern university had the
April s date with the Junior Cubs at

the belief that the grizzled veterans
Of Joe Cantillon could give his men a
better practice skirlnish than the rah-
rahs from Evanston.

season, Manager Griffith has already
Instructed Scout Mike kahoe to make

Griffith would give more for Pratt
than any young player in the Ameri-
can league. He thinks he has the
making Of a really great player and
figures that he would fit into his team
perfectly. Pratt not only is a danger
u hitter but he fields his position
well for a beginner and is improving
rapidly.
There is Of course. no chance to
secure Pratt from st. Louis. where his
value Is appreciated, but Griffith be-
1ieves that It Is not impossible to find
a player among the minor leagues
who will eventually be his equal.

for the Dock to stack his giants up
with Manager Bays aggregation. The
team will assemble al Toledo and will
go from there to Fort Wayne and to
Madison, ending the training season
at the Badger city.
Art Hersey. secretary to President
Blume, will leave Sunday night for
Toledo and will travel with the team
during the season. Meniece. Miller
will leave Friday night for the Mud

had an effect on the Duluth club,

Agitation is started in Duluth to
make up a special train to attend the
opening game at st. Paul. President
Blume has the proposition under con

The National league pennant trust

been punctured with the exit Of the
famous Peerless Leader. And with
Chance absent the Chicago Cubs prob

Admitting that Johnny Evers was

success with the array Of talent on
his side.
There are two big cavities which
Evers canno fll-chance's manager

AS a player, Chance will not be MISS
ed as much as Tinker, because the

But in managing the Cubs Chance
had the knack of having the players
fight to the last ditch: until that
squirt which means pennants at the

is a 'crab," fused with the players
