the Australasian team includes Major

OF the American tennis authorities in
not challenging because Australasia. Is
without the services Of Anthony F.
Wilding of New Zealand, and other
prominent players is appreciated.
Brookes, it is understood, will try, for
a place on. the .Australasian team, but
experts doubt whether, after four
years of strenuous Red Gross work. in
England and Mesopotamia, he can re-

likewise considered to be against

COAST TEAMS
ADVANCE OVER
LAST SEASON
Los Angeles Takes Flying
Start Compared to>a
Year Ago.

San Francisco, May "A compari-
son Of the standings of the leading
clubs OF the Pacific Coast league at
the end Of the first few weeks of play
show that the first division teams are
far in advance OF their percentages
of last season. Los Angeles, which
Went off to a flying start, registered
u percentage of .S57 as against 1855
last year.. Salt Lake shows 727 this
year as against SS5 at the same time
last season. With only a compare
lively few anne played thus far, per-
centages take decided rises and falls
and the losing. or winning Of a game
or two at this time of the year will
completely change the complexion of
a cams. average.
1t is several years since any team
has registered as low a percentage as
Tortiand''s 1914 at the end of the sec
ond week. which means that this
team up to that time had won only
two of the thirteen games played. No
Lean has fallen below 286 in the last
three seasons. both Oakland and San
Francisco having dipped down to this
figure after the playing of at least
two series of games.
The showing made thus far by the
Two teams out of the northwest has
not been impressive but critics seem
to agree that, rs they shape up, both
Portland and Seattle will have to be
reckoned with by the. other CLUBS in
the circuit.
1t is seldom that a club has started
the season in the Coast league with
the advantage gained during the first
two weeks by the Los Angeles team,
and from now on critics expect to see
the gradual settling Of the high per-
,centage 20 something like the usual
normal figures. r
