U. S. Needs Second Match Man.
A MERICA, too, is in much the same
position, though l must confess 1t
has more talent on hand from which
to choose it's second singles player
Bulge is certain to play one single,
and lust as certain is the selection
of Bulge and Mako for the doubles.
But they still have to find suitable
PLAYER to take care of the second
match. They have a wealth OF talent
in the older school, and such play
ers as Riggs and Hunt of the younger
school. But they have difficult task
on hand.
If their choice, whoever he is, fails,
then they have made mistake. This
is indeed a great burden to put on
any player, particularly young one,
In a Davis Cup match, which means
so much. At the moment, Riggs seems
to be the logical choice, but I think
that Hunt has the greater possibili-
ties. Perhaps the choice of Hunt
would give him that extra confidence
he needs and make him into a great
player. The same might happen with
Riggs. but there always is a danger
it might affect them the other way.
Both England and America have a
difficult problem on hand, but,
whereas we. in England. have eight
months to make up our minds, the
Americans have only another two or
three months at the outside.
Australia Best at Present.
NOV we come to Australia's chances.
They have the best team of any
right now. Crawford, Quist and Nc
Grath are a tried and worthy three
some. They have come very near to
winning the cup. Their chief trouble
seems to be the gradual decline of
Jack Crawford He has been on top
of the world and is finding it increas-
tngly difficult to keep up the interest
which made him so great.
Always the artist, Jack is a difficult
player to beat, especially in Davis Cup
play. Ouist has been resting over
the Winter and should be in fine
feather for the start of the season. A
player like McGrath would make the
actual team in any other country
They have a fine team spirit, these
bows. and one worthy of note.
But the dark horses of the COM
petition come from Germany in the
personages of Cramm and Henkel
They have reached the interzone final
two years in succession, the first year
bea ting Australia and getting within
an ace of taking care of the best
American team. Henkels trouble was
that he could not win a match from a
winning position, as something always
seemed to happen to him. Indeed, a
peculiar symptom.

DURING the time in which the
- Davis Cup team was composed Of
Austin, Hughes and myself, all we
had to do was to find partner for
Hughes in the doubles. We had two
players, Austin and myself. to prove,
in the same way in which the French
had done for six years previously,
that we could be relied upon to take
care of the cup off our own bat. With
a position such as this, none OF our
so-called Davis Cup possibilities
thought it worth while to train like
mad in an effort to oust one OF us,
because they knew it was hopeless.
The result was that We found our
selves without any one actually ready
to step into the breach in case OF
trouble. l turned professional ana
the trouble was there. but it must be
remembered that there still are eight
months to go before the competition
becomes vital as far as England IS
concerned, as they have to play only
the challenge round at the end OF
july. In that eight months l am
positive that some one will come
along. even as quickly as l, myself,
did six years ago. 1 look forward
confidently to July, knowing that
some one will come along and fight
to keep that cup in just the same
way We fought to keep it in the last
three years.

Although we still are in the
middle of Winter and Davis
Cup play does not start until
May, every tennis enthusiast through
out the world is starting to predict
the outcome of the 1887 competition.
Even though these predictions are
somewhat premature, it must be OBJ
vious even to a layman follower of
the game that the competition must
necessarily be an extremely open
affair this year. However, defy any
one to name the winner right now.
There are perhaps 80 nations from
which to choose, but it is generally
agreed, and quite rightly so, that the
ultimate winner will be found among
England, America, Germany and
Australia.
So far so good. And, of course, the
average man will Immediately say
that England appears to have little
chance to defeat any of the other
three. On the face of it, things look
that way, but when you examine the
matter more closely I think you VIII
agree that the English have as much
chance as any of the others.
