DRAWINGS MADE
FOR DAVIS TRIALS
Germany and France Gel
Byes in Matches for
Lawn Tennis Cup.
WRENN PLEASED AT

British Isles and Australasia Are
on Opposite Sides of

mis- Association. at No. "a Broad street

Australasia; British Isles VS.. Belgium
and France. bye.
Mr. Wrenn expressed himself as highly
pleased with the draw and said he did no
see how il could have been improved upon
the British Isles and Australasia being
on opposites sides of the draw and beinf
the logical contenders in the final round
for the right to challenge for the famous
trophy
The dates for the playing Of these in
ternatioral matches will be decided upon
after conference between Mr. Wrenn
George T. Adee and others Of the Davis
cup committee. and the result will be an
nounced late this afternoon.
II is more than possible that Canada
and Australasia will play their prelm-
mary round either in Canada or this coun-
try. The winner OF that round will be
opposed TO Germany in the semi-inal, and
it is thought probable that the German
players will come 10 the United States 70
play the match, the winner Of which will
have arrived in the final round in the
upper half OF the draw
The preliminary round between Belgium
and the British Isles will probably be de-
cided in England. with the semi-fnal, be-
tween the victors In that match and
country. In the event OF Germany's play
crs contesting the seml-final in the upper
half OF the draw in this country the vic
torious team in the lower half will in all
probability play the final round also in
the United States.
