NEW YORK, Aug. 2-Tennis, fast becoming one oi America's major sports, has stirred up enthusiasm not unlike attending q baseball world series as fans prepare for three big international events to be held in the new concrete stadium at Forest Hills, l.. l.. during the next few weeks.
 These events, the women's interna- tional team match between England and the United States, August 10 and Il; the women's' national champion ship, August 1920. and the Davis cup challenge round. August 31. Sep tember | and 3, constitute without doubt the greatest series of inter national tennis matches ever staged within so short a period on the some stretch of turf
 Although a special force of cleri- cal and stenogTaphic help has been added to the corps assisting Harry Parker, who is in charge of the ad- vance ticket sale the augmented staff is finding it difficult to keep lace with the demands.
 Each delivery of mail brings scores of letters containing applications for seats or inquiries relative to the Va rious international events.

 Davis Cup Matches Important. While the Davis cup matches nat urally take precedence in the list of tennis events, the arrival of the Eng fish women's tennis team has greatly increased interest in the Women's in ternational team matches and the na- tionaf championships.
 The uncertainty regarding the makeup of the American team and the order in which it will play against Miss Kathleen McKaue, Mrs Geraldine R. Beamish. Mrs. R. C. Clayton and Mrs. B. c. Covell Of Eng land is matter of keen speculation among the followers of the game The splendid play of Miss Eleanor Goss in her victory over Miss Helen Wills at Seabright has also injected a. new factor in the American team selection.
 It seems reasonable to predict that among those who will bear the team colors for the United States next week will be Mrs Molla Biursted Mallory, Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Helen Wills, with additional member. to be selected from the other leading players of the United States.
