United Press.]
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The greatest
crowd that ever witnessed a tennis
match in this country was exFected In
the temporary stands Of the West Side
Tennis club at Forest Hills, Long Is
land. this afternoon when the play
for the Dwight F. Davis cup begins.
Looking upon the international
matches as cold hard sporting prop
osition, the challenging Australsians
are the favorites. Sentiment, OF
course, favors the American defend
ers, but it is realized that Maurice
Mclaughlin and r. Norris Williams
must play the greatest tennis Of their
careers If tho cup is to remain In
this country. Norman Brooks and
Anthony F. Wilding, the challenging
stars, are strong favorites In the
doubles which will be played tomor,
row. The experts therefore figure
that 1t rests with Mclaughlin and
Williams to win three out of four OF
the singles matches.
Play will open at two O'clock today
with Williams opposing Wilding In
the first singles. At the close Of their
match Mclaughlin and Brookes will
meet in the second singles.
Temporary stands seating 10000
persons have been erected about the
west side court and every ticket for
the three days Of play has been sold.
Preliminary rounds for the greatest
event Of the tennis season were start
ed two months ago and all challengers
were eliminated down to the Austral-
sian team. In the opening rounds at
Wimbledon, England, the British team
defeated Belgium and France. The
Australsians defeated Canada at Lake
Forest, ILL.,, and week later defeated
Germany at Pittsburgh. The final
round was then played between the
Lritfsh and Australasian teams at
Boston, the latter winning easily.
Both Wilding and Brooks have vic
tories over Mclaughlin to their credit.
Williams has never met either OF the
challenging players. The information
al committee has not yet formally an
nounced its selection Of a partner for
Mclaughlin in the doubles. though It
is still believed Thos. Bundy will be
decided upon.
