Patience Tells Story.

The Davis Cup is in England, and
England has no idea of letting it move
across the sea. France did well to hold
it so long. Their system of play was
laid down by the marvellous La Coste,
and they entreated and coaxed their
opponents to make errors. They re-
fused to mix up in any fast hit miss
game.
They won through patience. 1t took
another nation playing safe tennis with
good Judgment on attack, to beat them.
The British beat the French at their
own game The United States will have
to go up against that game to win.
We believe the reason so many Amer
lean players take up the rushing game
is because they know they have major
weakness in their defense. They cover
this up by a brave front. Shields has
q major weakness. Crawford showed
us that, if We didn't know it before.
stoefen, too, has one. Perry brought it
clearly to light. Stoefen is working on
his game.
Wood has a very bad defect on
defense. Allison proved this at Forest
Hills in 1882. Wood still has that
weakness.
We are sure their foreign opponents
know all about these weaknesses. They
will play to bring errors out of known
weak spots.
Yet even the great Perry, Crawford.
Austin Hughes, Turnbull Quist and
MacGrath have their own troubles. Do
the Americans know them? Can they
play accurately. patiently enough to
reach them? If so. America will win.

1884 have options on how
to try to defeat such good
teams as Australia and England.
The Australian match will come
first. The team that defeats Aus
traha should win the cup.
The Davis Cup play will be on grass
this year, a decided break for the
United States. The kind of game the
Americans should use will, in my
opinion, be the most important ques-
ton for consideration for months and
months.
An attacking game is a fine treat for
the spectators. There is little applause
for two defensive players. Every one
loves praise. We know certain players
who do everything possible to get ap-
plause They play to the gallery. They

A stonewall defense. Let the oppo-

attack. Attack only from the fore

line. If the defense does not bring
errors the attacking game is thrown

Attack Fails in Pinch.

DUT the past season gave very
r. good idea what can be done with
the United States pet attacking
game The fast hitters, such as Shields
Stoefen and Wood, had a good season
up to point.
Shields has his number one position
for his efforts, but not the national
championship. He missed the finale.
Stoefen made progress, but his power,
30 effective in doubles, was not SO
noticeable against Perry at Forest Hills.
Wood has moved down the ladder two
points. He ranked seven in 1881, four
in 1882. and now he rates sixth.
Can the United States authorities ad-
vocate a policy that will entail net
attack against very wise opponents?
Can they even suggest hitting out for
winners from the base line, when that
Is what the opponents want?
1t is true the American players
think they have the best service in the
world. They argue that because their
opponents send back the ball deep into
the court with no steam on it, they
should in return sock it TO one corner
and then the other. If they can't win
the point outright they figure they are
running their man. They are working
hard. but the balls come back and the
attack dies down, especially when the
errors are against them.

recently purchased by the commission
from the Canadian National Railways

BALLOONS MAY RAIN
PROGRAMS OF FUTURE
Westinghouse Buys Blimp to Test
New Theory of 0vercom-
ing Fading"

Radio stations of the future may
rain" down their signals to radio
listeners from captive balloons hover
ing over the stations themselves, in
stead of catapulting their programs into
space from upright aerials.
To test out this theory of wave
propagation the Westinghouse Electric
& Manufacturing Co., pioneer in broad
casting development, has purchased a
baby blimp. Now on its way to East
Pittsburgh, Pa, from the Goodyear
factory at Akron, the blimp soon will
be floating above KDKA, Pittsburgh,
trailing an experimental antenna.
On paper, Westinghouse engineers
figure the use of this radical departure
in antenna design will overcome one of
the major problems of good reception
fading. Only few weeks ago Westing-
house announced the perfection of the
concentrate" antenna, especially de-
signed for use of stations operating on
the higher frequencies. 1t has the ef-
feet OF doubling the strength of signals
with no increase in power.
