was roaring lion. He called for
such fast pace that he stood both
Clark and Bob Spears on their heads.
Spears finally gave up, unable to hold
on any longer, and Clark once or
twice was a very tired boy and lost
his pace. But all Fogler's low-brow
work went for naught when it came
TO the finish. He took a nap on the
backstretch, and Clark, though very
tired, came around him, pinched him
in against the tandem, and came on
and won. Fogler was caught for a

The European was is certain to

events planned for this country. The

possible to compete, if the mother

leave the Australasians to tackle the

Is classy aggregation, nevertheless.
| If these teams do play, and we meet
and beat the winner, the honor would
be complete. If ii should happen,
though, that the English team is
compelled to forfeit, it would always
be said that our victory was matter
of some skill and much good fortune.

The too-previous critics who pre-
sumed to condemn Karl III. Behr be-
fore the young man was given a
chance at all to show his worth as
member of the American Davis
Cup defenders, are likely to have
more than few apologies to make.
For no good reason in particular,
Just as soon as Behr had been Sc
lected by the committee which is sup
posed to be the best judge of such
things, every hammer in the cellar
was hauled out and applied to the
player himself and to the men who
were responsible for him. 1t was

player wasn't wanted anyway. All
this was started by few big ex-
perts, who evidently had a favorite

any number of the small-town ex-
perts followed the lead. But Behr
has put all the grand old rappers to
rput To show that the selection of
Behr was done with the very best in
tentions, the members of the commit
tee put 1t right UP to the fellow to
make good. He was matched up in
doubles, both with Mclaughlin and
against him, and 1t was the work of
Behr which carried the day. Nc
Loughlin won with Behr and he lost
without Behr. The young man has
made good with vengeance. The
cry for Murray or Johnston was the
cry of the babes. Both are singles
players of great merit, but the COM
mittee selections of Mclaughlin and
Williams could not be improved upon.
1t was in the doubles that we were
weak and the committee knew 1t.
Behr has filed in the gap. The COM
lmittee has done well.
