DAVIS CUP MAY Go
TO AUSTRALAS|ANS
Maurice Mclaughlin Shoulders
Responsibility of Staving
Off a Defeat.

NEW YORK. Aug. IA certain lit
tie piece of silverware. known in tennis
circles as the Dwight F. Davis cup
is shaking on it's base today and threat
ening to skid across the Pacific to the
antipodes.
Whether the American defenders OF
the international tennis trophy are TO
repulse the challenging Australasians
may be practically decided today when
the doubles match is played. If Nor
man E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wild
ing defeat Maurice Z. Mclaughlin and
Thomas Rundy. the cup will be cling
ing to these shores by a mighty slender
thread. Uncle Sam will be well on the
way toward another International wal
Looping and only the most unexpected
turn of affairs m the final singles
matches Saturday will keep the cup
here.
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 singles
with Wilding Saturday. The big Aus
tralasian is now at his top form and
the national champion has a man S
sized job on hand.
Defeat for the Americans will mean
that they must win both singles Satur-
day to repel the invasion. Such a sweep
against players of the class of Brookes
and Wilding is next to impossible un-
less the terrific playing yesterday pun
BrookeS far back on his game and VIII
liams makes a remarkable recovery.
