Australasia Winner
in Davis Cup Series

Lake Forest, ILL.,, July Z4.-Austra-
lasia yesterday scored a one-sided vic
tory over Canada in the first of the
Davis cup elimination matches at the
Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest. In
straight sets, Anthony f. Wilding de-
feated r. f. Powell, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, and
in the same manner Norman Brookes
won from B. p. Schwengers 6-2, 6-3,
6-2. The Canadians played desper-
ately and made a game fight for every
point, but were outclassed.
The result gives the Australasfans q
big advantage, since, to win the Sc
ries, the Canadians now must take the
doubles to-day and both the singles
matches tomorrow.
The first match. that of Brookes and
Schwengers, was hardly completed be-
fore terrific storm began.
Wilding played a wonderful game,
much better than his practice matches
early this week had indicated he would
play. His passing was marvellous.
alley shots just inside the side lines
and just short of the base lines leav-
ing Powell helpless at times. His
drives just topped the nets and his
lobbing kept the Canadian playing far
back of the base line.

By Hoban

Rochester, n. Y, July 24.-Presi-
dent E. G. Barrow If the International
League who is here on an official visit,
said to-day that the time has come

operate than the public is willing to
pay, and any one can see that the
sport will not last long that way.
The International League must re-
trench in the matter of salaries and
the big leagues, even the Federals.
must both do the same. The players
are getting all the money there is in
the game and more, too. Such state
of affairs will not last long"
