M'LAUGHLIN IS
OIL D RELIABLE
Americans Depend Upon Him in
the Davis Cup Series

New York, June 3.-With the an
nounccment of the visit of the Califor-
MIA tennis experts the Davis cup inter-
national committee is preparing plans
for practice with view of selecting
the cup team. The fact that Maurice
+. Mclaughlin, the national amateur
champion, will be available relieves the
members of the committee of consid-
cradle anxiety, while the fact that K.
Morris Williams, %, of Philadelphia,
will again second McLoughlin's efforts
is another source Of satisfaction. The
other certain members Of the western
contingent are William II. Johnston,
the schoolboy champion, and Clarence
Griffin, although there is a probable
fly that Thomas c. Brady, McLough-
Inns old partner. will come east.
It is the desire OF the international
committee to let Mclaughlin devote all
Of his energies to the singles. and this
makes a difficult task To find a pair
strong enough for the doubles. There
is no one of real strength in the east to
select and that may mean that the
west will again be called upon to help
out in the difficulty. In which event
the Pacific coast may have three cup
defenders, while the east may be forced
to content itself with one. 1t is this
problem that is giving the members Of
the committee concern.
Pairs are 10 he the most important
features Of the season on the Ameri-
can courts, and partnership negotia-
lions are already being entered into
by several Of the leading players. 1t
is an acknowledged fact that it is too
much of strain to put McI.oushlin
INTO both the doubles and the singles,
no matter how willing the Californian
may be to undertake the task.
The Australians will send the strong
est combination that has ever visited
these shores.
1t Us doubtful whether Hackett can

zen again, although he has announced

up the Sound yesterday from New Lon

the morning The wind then was light
from the southwest and she headed for
CITY Island. which was nearly 100 miles
away.
She set her canvas soon after turning
out OF the harbor and stood on the port
tack, reaching TO the west or north OF

q close fetch and she made one or two
bitches during the day to keep out in
deep water. She sailed fast and the DAYS
work was very beneficial to the crew and
to the sails and rigging. Arter sailing
for some hours a line was taken from the
steamer and she finished the rest of the
trip in tow.
Some overhauiing will be done this
morning. Changes in the leads OF the

Betting on the outcome OF the polo
games quickened bit in the financial
district yesterday, but the general ten
dency of those interested in the sport
Is to await the arrival OF the English
players and to sec their tryouts in this
country before committing themselves to
any great extent
The betting yesterday was at 10 s
on the Americans In Fred Schumm's
$500 was wagered on the English team
against 5000 on the Americans. II IL
said that another hacker of the English
players has $500 to bet at the same odds.
The betting Is even money that the Amer
leans will win the first game and score
the first point.
