Admirers of Miss Coss
Are Disappointed Over
Miss Wagner's Victory
By Fred Hawthorne

If there was anything in the nature
of an upset in the playing Of the
women's invitation lawn tennis tour
nament at the Brooklyn Heights Ca
sino last week it was the defeat of
Miss Eleanor Goss by Miss Marie Wag-
ner in straight sets.
Although it marked the first meet
ing of the pair in an important tour
nament, Miss Wagner and Miss Goss
have met on the courts in informal
matches before last week, and, accord
ing to report, the former has been
almost uniformly successful in these
tits.
For this reason, those acquainted
with the facts freely predicted that
Miss Wagner would win, and in
straight sets. The only persons who
were surprised at the result of their
meeting at the Heights Casino. there
fore, were those who had not seen
them play against one another.
We confess that we were among
those who expected to see Miss Goss
defeat her clever opponent, or, at the
least, take one set from her. There
was sound reason back of this expec-
tatlon. Miss Goss possesses so many
of the elements upon which a win
ming game must be founded, both
physically and in her style of play,
that she is bound, eventually, to rise
at least niche or two higher in the
world of lawn tennis than Miss Wag-
ner has succeeded in doing in her
brilliant career on the courts. But
that time is not yet, apparently.
The West Side Tennis Club star
must learn, as did Robert Lindley Muir
ray, the present national champion, the
value of sound assortment of ground
strokes. When Murray first came East
in 1914 he astonished followers of the
game in this section of the country by
the meteoric power of his net-storm-
ing brand of tennis. With the stall
case of furious service, a headlong

America Ready
For Olynpiad
At Any Place
This Is the Answer of Local
A. A. u. Officials to Query
from Swedes on Subject

America stands ready to send rep
resentativc athletic team to the next
Olympic games, regardless of the time
or place which may be designated"
This is the answer Of prominent ANA
teur Athletic Union officials to the
query OF the Swedish Athletic Associa-
tion made through United States Min
lister Norris at Stockholm recently.
The track and field authorities of this
country have been actively engaged
preparing for worldwide revival in
competitive athletics, and the implied
desire of the Swedish association to re-
establish the Olympic games did not
occasion surprise ia A. A. u. circles.
Sweden acted as host to athletes from
all parts of the world in the meet Of
1912, and the imposing stadium built
for the contests still stands.
Sweden. however, is not the only ma
tion which desires to hold the games,
and it is probable that a conference
OF the International Olympic Games
Committee will be necessary, in the near
future, to pass upon this phase of the
situation. especially if the meet is to
be staged in 1920, as appears probable.
Whatever the date, the Olympic
games will be preceded by several in
ternational track meets of more or
less formal character, either in this
country or Europe. The Swedish A. A.
has already cabled to the United States
A. A. U. suggesting an international
meet in this country next autumn and
Offering to send team Of fifteen ath
letes for competition against picked
American combination.
No decision has been reached as yet
on the proposal owing to the heavy
expenses which such an undertaking
involves. II certain contingencies
which are under consideration eventu-
ate this meet will probably appear as
one of the feature events Of the sport
schedule of 1919.
