1t is about to sell itself short of
tickets because the American public
senses the fact the Davis Cup seems
due to go on long journey and
morbid, as always, wants to be in
at the death.
The recent defeat of William T.
Tilden at Wimbledon, following so
closely upon the heels of his fail
ure to stop Rene Lacoste at st.
Cloud, has left few illusions con-
corning Americas likelihood Of re-
tanning the International trophy
that has been held in custody here
since 1920. The, all-French final
round today and the all-Freneh
finals Of the Forest Hills affair
last year also constitute talismen of
truth along the highway of the i'm.
mediate future.
The writer doesn't say that
France cannot lose the Davis Cup
play-off: merely that France
shouldn't.
For there isn't the slightest
doubt that the French team of
BrugnOn Is to 1927 tennis what
the DOhertys were TO 1909.
BrOOkes and WiIding were to
1914, and Tilden and Johnston
to 192O-25.
The French, of course. run
fourth in an all-time rating of
that kind but we deal only with
the present and there they run
first in all around strength. French
tennis has reached the crest stimuli
taneously with q gradual sinking
OF the American game wen down
into the trough.
Tilden and Johnston, in fact,
have been American tennis aces
for upward Of nine years, the most
successful in our history. Both
obviously are not the men they
were. Tilden lost his singles title
in 1925. for the first time in seven
years. Johnston was eliminated in
the same tournament rather early

petition, which is a tip off on
JohnstoIl's stamina. The coast
w1ippet now can be used only
in the singles, provided the idea
is to get maximum Of re-
suits from his game.
In addition, there lie covey of
young material available but prob
ably not wanted. The tennis as
ISOLATION, understand, Is com
mftted to a veteran defense Of the
cup.
I suppose this is fair enough,
considering the fact that the vet
Grams in question were those who
won 1t for us in the first place.
Then, there is always the possibility
that one or all of them will flash
out with a spasmodic return to the
old form, somewhat like the old
pitcher or outfielder who has one
good year near the end. apparently
for no good reason.

THREE MALLORY BROTHERS
VISIT MILFORD AFTER 40 YEARS

Forty-seyen years ago a PresDy-
terian preacher resided in Milford
named Mallory with his family OF
three sons and daughter. the Doys
were named Allan, Lawrence ana
Charles, all of whom were active and
hustling youngsters. Allan ana
Lawrence were not above doing any
kind of honorable work, while
Charles was just as willing, but had
not reached the age when his SER
vices could be utilized in gainful oc-
cupation.
This week the three brothers, ac-
companied by Charles Mallory, Jr.'
visited Delaware and renewed their
early friendships of nearly a half
century ago; making headquarters
during their stay as guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Roosa and Miss Ida
Roosa. They found that Delaware
had changed wonderfully and Mil
ford had developed beyond their
dreams-even though the boys OF
yesterday had kept in touch with
their old home, through the weekly
visits of the Milford Chronicle.
Allan Mallory resides in San
Francisco, California, where he is in
active business. Lawrence Mallory
resides in Washington, D. c., where
he has been identified with the real
estate business. Rev. Charles Gilbert
Mallory resides in Peekskill, New
York, where he is pastor of the Van
Nest Reformed Church Of that city.
His son is located in New York City,
where he is in charge of a large
business as manager.
Allan and Lawrence Mallory car
ried" the first delivery of the Milford
Chronicle to the people of Milford i'll
1878, and continued that service un-
til they left Delaware for New York
State.
They paid the Milford Chronicle
Office a pleasant call, and witnessed
the wonderful transformation of the
weekly paper of that day into the
modern and model weekly paper, OF
sixteen pages, such as the Milford
Chronicle puts forth in 1927.
All of these Milford boys have
made good in the world of business
and were warmly welcomed by their
former friends.
