More Than Probable That
Veteran Will Make Trip . to Antipodes.
Lawn tennis, which Is practically at
Its height now, has been productive in the tournaments to date of more real surprises than In a decade. Every one who Is Interested In this sport is naturally looking forward to the selection of the team' which will go to the Antipodes this fall In quest of the Davis cup, and from what has happened in the early tournaments there has been all manner cf guessing as to just
who will be the ultimate selection for the international matches.
For a great many years there have
been a few who stood so far above the
others that there was no difficulty in
picking the best men in the country.
vVhen it comes to the selection of a
leader there Is no question of the su
periority of William A. Lamed, who
has so often carried off the national
champlonsrhip, but he has ever found It
impossible to go abroad for the pur
pose of retrieving the blue ribbon tro
phy of the tennis world for family
reasons.
For one reason or another the com
mittee which has charge of the team
to represent America has been more or less reticent in the mention of the
names of any of the men who will
make up the team of foreign Invaders, but assurance has toeen given that one of the strongest combinations that has ever played in this country will be
found pitting their skill against the best that can be found in other quarters when the time comes for the ties to be played off.
Not long ago Robert D. Wrenn, of
the Davis cup committee, stated that a
thoroughly representative team would
go forth from these shores to try to
recover the cup. This state of affairs
is in strong contrast to the situation
that existed a year ago, when the best that could be said was hope that a
team would be sent abroad.
There were certain obstacles then
which prevented any definite state
mention the matter, but now things are
different, and It is certain that America will be on hand for the big games. It can be said "with good ground for the assumption that the best player In America, William A. Lamed, will be
the man who will lead the team this year. Whether the rest of the team will be made up of California cracks such as McLaughlin, Long and Bundy -depends much on the outcome of the
national championships at Newport.
The rules permit the utilization of four men on a team. Two of these may be used for the singles and two for the doubles. A fifth man may be kept in
reserve in case of accident or illness
to any of the regulars. It is very like
ly that America will avail itself of the opportunity to send the full quota of
men, and In that way a better team
can be chosen with a smaller number of men. There Is practically no doubt that the elder Lamed will be the leader and that he will be first choice for
the singles.
Naturally one turns to Beals Wright, whose record in the past big matches speaks for Itself, but this season has not found him doing any great work on the courts. Whether he has got to the point where his best tennis days are over or that , he is merely short of work and slow in getting into form, is a debatable question. His tennis from now on will be watched very closely and unless he shows better at
the big tournaments of the Meadow
Brook Club, at Southampton and Newport, than he has done so far, there Is not much chance of his going abroad
as a member of the team.
