Whether the American defenders OF
the International trophy are TO re-

noon when the doubles match Ii play.

the cup will be clinging to these
shores by mighty slender thread.
Uncle Sam will be well on the way
toward another international wallop-
ing and only the most unexpected turn
of affairs In the final singles matches
Saturday will keep the cup here.
The matches now stand even up,
Mclaughlin defeated Brookes yester-
day. the first set Of their match going
to 80 games. record for champion
ship tennis. The Australasians had
started with a victory when Wilding
beat r. Norris Williams. Despite the
$3.50 split, however, the invaders look

form he showed against Wilding. The
New Zealander won without extend

out and he was extremely wild.
The doubles have been practically

Brookes might not be AZ his best be-

A victory in the doubles for the
Americans today will put the task OF
holding the cup squarely upon the
shoulders of Mclaughlin In the sin

Australasian Is now at his top form
and the national champion has q
mans sized job on hand.
Defeat for the Americans will mean
that they must win both singles Sat

sweep aga'rst players OF the class Of
Brookes and Wilding Is next to impos-
sible. unless the terrific playing yes
