bowl which had been away from
home 40 hong. It was freely predicted
among close followers OF the game at
wimbledon that tho United States would
not hold the prize very long Those who
had seen the American team play on the
famous Queens Club courts IN the Anal and
challenge rounds based their opinions on
the narrow margin BY which the Yankees
topped the Britons.
A. any rate, there was enough said and
written about the hard task OF holding
the cup to throw scare into even the
most rahld urholders OF American su-
premacy IN sport. The scare grew to
cons derahle proportions when It was an
nounced that Anthony +. Wilding. Norman
T.. Brookes and Alfred W. Dunlop. three
OF the strongest play RS IN the world.
would play on the Austraasan challeng-
ing team. Brookcs and Wildinx had
beaten Maurice T.. Mclaughlin on pre-
vious meetings, and combination OF
either Rroukcs and Nildng or Brookes
and Dunlop looked well nigh unbeatable
at doubles
Later on calamity seekers found further
cause for trouble and started a report that
Mclaughlin would be unable to como
East this year. This report was nipped
In the bud early. 80 that trouble finders
turned their attention to Norris Williams.

they We're forthwith advised by some OF
the crauks to put any team at all into
the doubles. for America could not hope
to win and II would be better Ia save
MrI.oughlin's energies FOR tho singles
; However, the final round OF tho doubles
, in the tournament at Sctbright saw one
81 the greatest matches that was ever
played in this country and proved that
3 We had at least two doubles combine
tons that would make any team hustle
to beat them Although, Mclaughlin and
Thomas g Bundy dcfoated Theodore H.
Poll ana Karl ". Behr, the margin OF
victory was so small that the result
showed practically no difference between
the teams II was seen then that Nc
/ I.oughln could play doubles with the
best and that from their stvle OF play
either Eurdy or Bchr would make a
great mariner for him so the latter two
wor. selected fnr the team with Me-
I.oughlin and Williams.
