Hoppe will soon play the most inn
| portant match in his career. He IS
scheduled to meet Melbourne Inman.
the English champion, and he is prac-
ticing daily for the contest. Inman is
said to be wonder and he will come
here some time before the match, SO
as to be at his best for Hoppe. The
men are to play a series of five
matches. each match to last one week.
The first contest will be held in New
York, the second in Chicago and
three matches will be played in
Canada. Originally it was intended to
play two matches in England. but the
war has put an end to that.

The Australasians have won the
Davis Cup, and they are worthy of
that prize. In Norman E. Brookes
and Anthony F. Wilding no two bet
ter opponents of the fine points of ten
mis- could very well be imagined.
Men along in years in age, they seem
to be at the very height of their game
and their victories were indisputable
and positive. They won two matches
in the singles and they won the one
match in the doubles. They played
brilliant tennis throughout, and as a
team they were the superior of the
! Americans in every way Indlvidu-
ally, both met their match in Maur-
ice E. Mclaughlin, but without fear
of contradiction it can be said with
much positiveness that there is only
one Mclaughlin in the world. II
there were two, competition for The
Davis Cup would become a Joke.

While as a pair. the superiority of
Brookes and Wilding was plainly
evident, the performance of Nc
Loughlin was something to conjure
with. He beat Brookes In a heart
breaking match on Thursday and he
beat Wilding in a most interesting
match on Saturday. In both these
contests, Mclaughlin proved himself
the master Of the Australasians. In
every department of the game his
skill was apparent. For while
Brookes matched him we'll in service,
but Mclaughlin never weakened,
while Brookes eventually had to sub
NIT to the grit, pluck and endurance
and science of the Yankee. In COM
pairing Mclaughlin and Brookes, 1t
might be said In all truth that the
American is the better man at every
stage, of the game, yet Brookes is
no doubt the next best man to Nc
Loughlin the wide world over He
is a student and methodical, and by
playing with his left hand, he ap-
parently is at an advantage How
ever. Mclaughlin was we'll able to
overcome said advantage, but then
we might add again, there is only
one Mclaughlin.
