PREMACY Of

English Tennis Followers Dis
appointed Over Their
Poor Talent.

The preliminary competition for
the Davis Cup has brought forth
no star to threaten American su.
premacy on the courts. While
interest in the game has been
stimulated in foreign countries, the
standard Of the game does not yet
approach the skill which has been
developed among the ranking play
ers in this country.
The English followers of the
game are keenly disappointed over
the failure of the British tennis
ranks to develop talent to win back
England's lost prestige on the
courts.
Speed is the feature of the Amer
lean game which battles the for
eign players. They have a long
way to go before they can match
the pace set on the championship
courts in this country.

pumps on to train but half a dozen
times since the close of the indoor
season.
Murchison's plan of campaign is
to race himself into the pink of

possible. That he has the right
idea was indicated by his recent
feat of running the century in 10
seconds flat off scratch.
The Newark flier will start in
