NEW YORK. July 23.-Canada and
Australasia will start an argument in
Chicago today which win not finally
be settled until the answer is given
to the question of whether the latest
charge on Uncl Sans collection Of
sport trophies is to be successful.
The tennis players from the Anti

each others throats for the honor of
having a chance to lift the Dwight +.
Davis cup. II is generally conceded
that the Australasians will win. The
team representing Australia is one
OF the strongest combinations that
could possibly be formed outside of
the United States. Whether they will
prove superior to the best Uncle Sam
can muster will be better answered
after August 10, when the interna-
tiOnal matches will be history.
