 There were toasts to the president of the United States, King George and the Prince himself. To the last one. the Prince responded with a few impromptu remarks expressing thanks to the Piping Rock and Meadow Brook clubs and the Hunt ing families of Long Island for the pleasure of his holiday.

twenty-seven nations have answered
honors in the competition which
begins tomorrow morning and con-
tinues for eight days on new courts
built just outside the Colonies

elapsed since their completion, but
the courts are pronounced firm and
true and entirely satisfactory by
most of those who have practiced on
them.
The games are expected to draw
great crowds. Mile. Suzanne LengIen,
the French champion, forbidden to
participate by her physicians, will
not be among those competing, but
almost every other player OF prom
may be, is in the list of starters, ex-
cept the two American masters Of
the game, William T. Tlden and
William M. Johnston, and the Aus
tralian, Gerald Patterson.
Ninety-two men are entered for

CAUGHT ON THE FLY

Fred Marberry, rangy Texan, is
slated to toe the slab for the Ma
tionals this afternoon in the single
game with the Indians. This young
right t-hander made the best showing
of any of Harris hurlers against the
Tribe during the Nationals western
tour. He pitched all but a portion
of the final game in Cleveland and
was beaten in the last moments OF
horly contested affair. Recruit
Dawson, who promises to be a first
class moundsman, may do the fling
ing for Speakers bunch.
That victory yesterday was the
second of the season for the Nationals
over the Indians in nine starts.
A second stab by Mogridge was
of the opening game. George missed
when he lunged at the Indian on the
path, but McNulty also missed the
sack, so the pitcher stepped across
for another try that proved sue
cessfui.
