Stanley Doust, the Australian ten
mis- captain, is with us, and already
he has fattered us with the prediction
tt 1t the Americans would likeIy beat
the Antipodeans in the elimination
trials for the Davis cup. That is
most encouraging, but a victory over
the Australians would only be short
way toward the possession OF the
much coveted cup. AS a line ON the
game goes, our boys appear to be
| Just as good as the others, and Il we
have an even break in skill, the odds
are many that we will win out on our
superior generalship. 1t has been SO
IN almost every sport of an interna-
tional flavor. Our defeats in contests
with foreigners have been mostly be-
cause we didn't match up with them
in the cleverness of the sport Where
ever and whenever we knew the game
as well as the "other fellow" our
/ generalship generally has been SO
pronounced that the victory has been
certain. You might readily recall nu-
merous such instances. Take boxing,
athletics, cycling, wrestling, any of
the sturdier games, and you VIII gem
orally see the Yankees showing the
way in decisive manner.

! If the Kentucky Derby is not won
! by Ten Point today the surprise will
| be startling in turf circles every
where. Such an excellent authority
as ''Kinley Mack has told me more
than once of late that this great horse,
the property of A. L. Aste, was the
best S-year-old Of this year, and, per-
haps, as good as some of the best
horses of his age of other years.
''Kinley Mack as those who know
him at all know WE'LL is most con-
servative in his discussions on ia
nous thoroughbreds of the turf, and
when he goes out of his way to say
so many nice things about Ten Point,
the horse, as Mr.. August Belmont
ventures, must be truly great" Ten
Point has been a consistent winner,
an6 he is said to be right today.
There is such a thing, of course, as
a horse acting at his best and then
running at his worst. Oh, my breth-
rem, you who have risked your last
dollar on what to you looked like a
moral certainty, are sure to only too
freely agree that "all is not gold that
glistens." Ten Point has the class in
the Kentucky Derby and he should
win on the form he has displayed.
Foundation will have large follow
ing and it looks as If that entry
might be made the favorite. There
are ten horses down to start, but
the probabilities are only FIVE of the
best ones will go to the post

Larry Sutton, the business man
ager of the Newark Interna tional
League Club and now with the team
up in Canada, writes a most interest
ing letter, dealing principally with
Rupert Mills, the Newark boy now
at Notre Dame College. OF Mills,
Scout Sutton has some nice things to
say. He has looked the boy over and
has given him sound advice. and from
the latest stories emanating from
Notre Dame young Mills has very
! likely taken heed to Sutton's warn
ings First reports from Notre Dame

an oath that he didn't do any such

Mr.. Joseph P Norton,
Sporting Editor Newark Star.
Dear Sir-"Hi' Myers just blew in
and with him was copy of the pink
edition of the Evening Star. Was
glad to see Hi come along, but It
was peaches and cream to get hold
of that pink edition, as it was the
first copy of Newark paper / have
seen since l left Newark two weeks
ago. Read an article on the sporting
page in reference to Notre Dame Col
Ilege players. Spent three days at
that famous college and met some
Newark boys-Joe Byrne, Hardy
Bush and Rupe Mills. Rupe is play
ing right field for Notre Dame this
year and hitting around 500. The
captain of the team is playing first
base, but Rupe will be there next
year. Several scout, have been after
young Mills, but / had a long talk
with him and my advice was:
Keep to your college work. When
you are through college there will be
twice as many scouts trying to land
you, and if you keep on improving
in baseball as you have this spring
you will command thrice the money
you could now get. When you do
get ready to play professional ball
all ask is a chance to get you and
will give you as much as any club
in the country
And think Rupe will take my adj
vice. I tell you honestly, Joe. because
! am scouting for Brooklyn, 1 am not
going to interfere with the future of
likely-lo looking ball player going to
college. ] will give him my best ad-
vice. and then if he thinks we'll
enough of said advice all well and
good.
