Loughlin, Williams and Bundy are
the likely candidates. If these men
are not good enough to win it is evil
dent that we haven't the winning
material in this country.
@
The team to be feared is the Aus
traiian team Brooks and Wildins
will do the playing for the Antipodes
and judging by their recent perform
ances, it is evident that the Yankees
/ are to be given a stiff time of i.
Brookes and Wilding have shown
form in defeating the best men that
England could produce, and every
body acquainted with tennis well
know their class. The feeling is
prevalent that Mclaughlin will win
his individual matches and that it
will be very close in the doubles.
Faith in Mclaughlin is felt because
of his work in previous Davis cup
matches. williams. who is almost
! sure to be the other individual Sc
lection. doesn't seem to possess the
calibre to win from one like Brookes
or Wfding. In the doubles. though,
Mclaughlin and Bundy play like
brothers and high hopes are enter
tanned of their success.

Minus his title, Willie Richie will
come back here in a week or so
and perhaps we will see more of him
in the ring. He has a score to settle
with Charley White, of Chicago, and
he will find a number of young men
who will not object to facing him in
the ring, now that he has been
beaten. 1t will be remembered that
Ritchie didn't do so well against
White and that the Western papers
gave White the decision. A return
engagement to settle the dispute
would fill most any clubhouse. That.
is the fight for Richie, for Welsh
may ignore Willie when it comes to
the pinch and take on Charley.
C
Despite his promise that he will
vember, the opinion is rather gen.
eral that Willie is in for disap-
pointment Welsh, in the first place,
is not likely to come over here for
year or so. He didn't get anything
to speak of out of his bout with
Ritchie, and 1t isn't likely that he
will want to risk his title before he
has earned something with it. When
Welsh does come over here he will
also want to get on a match or two
before meeting Richie. That will
mean more delay. Richie. in the
meantime though should be able to
get some change, for he is a particu-
larly good attraction. Welsh, on the
other hand, is known to be a poor
card and rarely draws a packed
house.
Though he has just been united in
marriage to a beautiful Joliet girl,
Packey Mcfarland is talking about
meeting Welsh in a match for the
championship He is going to Europe
on his honeymoon, and he has said
that he wouldn't mind stopping in
London for a while and take on
Welsh That would be very nice as
far as Packey is concerned, but Welsh
may not like it a bit. For the match
Mcfarland has agreed to make 1876
pounds three hours before the battle,
which is far away from being
heavyweight A Mcfarland Welsh
fight would be big thing, but we are
not likely to see it,
@
1t is expected that the Gunboat
Smith Georges Carpenter fight will
break all records for attendance in
London. The advance sale has been
very large and the prices are away
up. The total receipts, it is said, will
be more than $4,000 Smith is the
favorite, but Carpenter, the French
man, has a big following. Whoever
wins will be a made man, for Jack
johnson will have to meet the victor.
That will mean $1,000 gate, with the
white man even more of an attraction
than the colored champion
A bike fan files the following pro-
test against the way Cavanagl
paced Kramer in his pro open yes
terday:
J. P. NJ:
Being a constant patron of the
bicycle races at the Yelodrome and
seeing all kinds of criticism in The
/ Star, wish to come in for some
criticism. | have seen many raw de-
cisions this season, but the limit was
reached this Sunday. After last
| Wednesdays meet I was very well
pleased with the actions of Mr.. Ross.
for | expected to see all unfair rae
ing abolished from that time on. But
poor Mr. Ross goes to sleep when
| such racers as Kramer and Cavanagh
are the offenders, for the way they
rode in the final of the two-thirdS
mile open and the way the announce
ment of Mr.. Prunty was received
speaks for itself. 1t will not be ex-
aggerating to say that SO per cent.
j of the people were of the opinion that
Kramer and Cavanagh would be dis
qualified for teaming. But the race
was allowed to stand as 1t was run.
This was not the only offense of the
! day. Although I think that Goullet
! is superior to Rutt and Clark at the
present time, I think that. in. the ten
! mile tandem paced race Grenda and
Pye, a team that can do the last
eighth in eleven seconds, could have
| pulled Rutt to victory if they had
/ tried hard, for they were fresh and
| Goullet had ridden over nine miles
! behind tandems and had ridden the
| last two laps without pace.
IF this kind of racing is to con-
