SYDNEY, Australia, May g.
James o. Anderson, captain and star
of the Australian Davis cup team

States in the 1928 challenge round,
has abandoned definitely all hope of
competing in this years contest for
international team supremacy.

portunity to lift the historic trophy
this season he might be added to
the team which now is composed of
Pat O'Hara Wood and Gerald Pat

being generally ranked now as second
only to Tilden and on IL par with
William NJ. Johnston. who was beaten
by the tall Australian last year in
the Davis cup challenge round.
Anderson also was d member of the
1922 Australian challengers, who were
defeated by the United States four
matches TO one. That year Anderson
was below his best form because of
illness and lost to both Johnston and
Tilden.
Illness again handicapped him to
some extent last year and he with

1t stands to reason that in such d
case the runner should use up the
least possible time For that reason
a special way of touching the base to
save time has been worked out. The

is probably the fastest way of get
