At least one international tennis match

The regulations governing these contests
provide that Should more than one ma

TO challenge Australia has not changed

executive committee TO make arrange
ments for Davis cup matches in 1920.
The National Association has felt that
II would be rather unsportsmanlike for
the United States to try TO force any
play for this trophy In 1919 that would
include a team from this country because
the allied nations have suffered severely
during the war and many of their promi-
nent players have been killed or wound
ed, while the most prominent players OF
the United States have come through I'M
scathed. Abroad they only now are be-
ginning to resume competition on any
thing approaching the pre-war basis.
II France and England want to play
for the right to challenge Australia, as
developments of the last few weeks
show. they are entirely justified in such
action. because they are competing on
even terms. AS matter OF fact fol-
lowers of tennis In this country are
extremely gratihed to learn of their
challenges. because of the renewed in

American players overseas but in the

seems that the players OF those countries
are keen for a chance at international
competition and some OF them may pos
sibly be seen in the United States dur
ing the summer. Nothing definite can
be said now, because OF the general un-

Responses to the letters sent to MEM
bers Of the national association by its
president. George A. Adee, indicate that
the tennis clubs of the country fully are
alive to the benefits they realized from
daylight saving last summer, and will
oppose any attempt TO repeal this law.
Many protests have been sent to
Washington by club officials, thus in
creasing the already extensive opposition
to the suggested change. There Is a
feeling of uneasness due to the fact that
the bill may be damned through during
the closing hours of Congress, but the
tennis public hopes no change will be
made.
