LONDON, July 18.—It was officially announced this evening that Great Britain had conceded Spain a walk- over in the Davis cup tennis competl- ti Great Britain's withdrawal was decided upon because it was thought fair that the Spanish team should & an opportunity to go to America, as had Great Britain beaten he British would have been : to raise a representative team ay in the United States. Maj. A. R. F. Kingscote and Ran- dolph Lycett. the only British Isles representatives looked upon as ‘hav- ing any real chance of taking the British Isles into the challenge round against the holders of the Davis cup, would have been unable, on account of business reasons. to make the.trip to the United States. Although the British Isles would have had an excellent chance against ain in the matches set for July 24, 25, the Lawn Tennis Associa- tion felt it would not have been fair play to meet the Spaniards without the intention of going further in the eontest. Spain noW will be able to_ meet the winner of the tie between France and Austrialia. which is to be played in the United States. Iz Not Well Recelved. The withdrawal of the British Isleg team from the play with Spain has created an unfavorable impression among a large section of Engifsh tennis enthusiasts and is likely to prove extremely unpopular among the younger men. The comment is made that notwithstanding the ability of Maj. Kingscote to go to the United States., England would with his serv have against Spain and that then the best available men could have been sent 1o play in the final round in the TUnited States. It is added that representatives from tha British Isles could also have heen entered for the American na- tional championships, which it is be- lieved the Americans would have ap- preciated, party as an offset to Wimbledon's claim to the world's grass court championships in per- petuity. These commentators interpret the decision as an indication that those regarded as reactionaries have gai ed the upper hand in the Lawn Ten nis Assoclation's councils. Condem- nation is voiced over the actiom of these men in “constantly discourag- ing the younger players.” A good team of vounger men would have heen availgble, it is pointad out. who would thus have| had a unique experience against the modern speed of the American player.

DAVIS CUP TEAM 10 CONSIST OF FOUR NEW YORK. July 18.—Coincident with the unexpected default of the British Isles Davis cup team, which) sends Spain into the. final round against the winner of the semi-final between France and Australasia, the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion today announced that its plans for the defense of the international trophy of the challenge were near- ing_completion. - is said the Davis cup committee has decided upon three of the players who will make up the team.

DUBLIN, Ireland, July 18.—Almost entirely as a consequence of the re- fusal of the American athletes to face the risks of competing in athletic events in Ireland under present con- ditions, the dail teann Olympic games were postponed until next year. Optimism was strong in Dublin, and the government was willing to in- dorse the decision to proceed with the games until the American refusal to participate struck the enterprise a | knockout blow. Dublin 1ife is proceeding almost normally, and there has been not the slightest question of postponing the great annual Balls Bridge horse show.
