the Davis Cup.

New York, July 25.--The arrival OF
the A~ustralasian and British Isles ten

outstanding favorites over the Cana
dams. The British-Australian match.

championship, of the British m
pre-" is expected to be one of the
high lights Of the International court
series.
Although famous Australian names,
Brookes and Patterson, are missing
from the personnel, players of exper-
fence are included o. the team, which
Is considered not unlikely to go
through to the challenge round. Cap
tain Norman Beach, Joe Anderson, C..
Y. Todd and j. B. Hawks compose
the quartet.
Beach and Todd represented Aus
tralasia in the match with New Yea
land last winter when the Davis cup
team of the United States visited there
for the challenge round.
Beach, in the opinion of the Ameri-
can team members, is not a formula

Joe Anderson is believed by Nor
mar Brookes, the famous veteran, to
hold the greatest promise among the
younger players in Australia. He is
said to play an excellent all-around
game with more speed and power than
his teammates. In the Davis =. u
challenge round Of 1919, he defeated
F. G. Lowe Of England in five sets, a
feat that denotes much ability. C. ".
Todd Is youth who defeated Ger
aid Patterson in the singles cham
pionship Of New South Wales last
winter. Jack Hawks. a left-handed
boy of 20, is also brilliant, possessing
a puzzling twist service and a ground
stroke and lei game which is more
than fair.

Captain Maxwell Woosnam, F. G..
Lowe, O. G. Neville Turnbull and ].
B. Gilbert combines experience with
youth. Lowe and Turnbull have
played in many international tourna-
ments. Gilbert was selected only re-
