SP Returning Tennis Players AUSTIN 1S PRAISED BY VANKEE NETMEN Advance of Briton, Slipping of Borotra Feature Gup Play, Hardy Says. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, July 30.—Three N fine-looking young men got off the Ile de France yesterday and were taken in hand by the customs officers. “Have you,” said the officer old- est in point of rank, and there- fore entitled to speak first, “any- thing to declare?” “We can only,” replied George Lott, Johnny Van Ryn and Sidney Wood, “declare that we did our best and that there is another year coming.” “You are sure” said the officer, sternly, “that there is no silver in your luggage—a cup, for example.” Here Sam Hardy, who had taken the young men over and who had brought back all of them except Frank Shields —and had left him in safe hands— came to the rescue. Is Badly Informed. “Officer,” he said, “I have no doubt that the customs office was tipped off that a cup might be found in the pos- session of these young men—a Davis Cup, to be exact—but that merely goes to show that this informer system does not always work out. I do not deny| that they, at one time, had a very real idea of bringing home a cup. There was a day when it looked as if they cer- tainly would do so. But even before they really got in the vicinity of the cup the British changed their minds for them. Very persuasive chaps, those Britons.” ‘The customs officers accepted Hardy’s explanation and stopped looking for a cup. They did, however, look at pretty much_everything else and admired Mr. Van Ryn’s blue coat, Mr. Lott's tenn rackets and Mr. Wood's cane profusel “There are really two main features to the cup matches abroad,” said Hardy, manager and captain of the team, “and those are the playing of Austin and the retrogression of Borotra. Austin prob- ably is the best English player since the days of the Dohertys. Borotra appears to be about through as a championship factor. He has taken on a new busi- ness or two and has not the time to devote to tennis which he would require to get back in shape. The Britons played well, and our youngsters, Shields and Wood, were nervous. Austin was just too good for them. He has im- proved a lot.” Players Riso Laud Austin. Van Ryn and Lott both spoke in high terms of Austin’s tennis. Only Wood appeared to be more impressed by Perry's play. Wood thought that Perry had the more versatile game and cited his battle against Cochet. The others thought Perry had improved, but didn’t think he yet was in a class with Bunny Austin, “You mever have seen Austin play over here,” Ryn. “He was playing great tennis. His ground strokes were wonderful, and he didn't mind your coming to the net, because he Wwould pass vou.” George Lott agreed with this praise of Austin. is serve is, perhaps, his weak point,” he said, “but it wasn't weak when he played Wood and Shields. He was getting that first ball in. His passing shots have the accu- racy of a master's foil. You can't leave him an opening, and, when he chooses, he can follow in and play the net.” ‘Wood appeared to be conscious that he had not “hit the ball” in playing Perry. He said that he made butter balls instead of drives, knew it any better than he did. Wood and nobody h93 ORTS Cochet Pro Step Seen as Certain BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, July 30.—Word fil- tering through from Paris tonds to confirm this writer's recent prediction that Henri Cochet, the world's greatest lawn tennis player, will turn professional on Oc- tober 1 and that the following move will be a campaign throughout the nations devoted to the game which, it is hoped and expected, will make gmh Frenchman and Willlam Tilden ich. Jeft Dixon, it is learned, has been working on Cochet for some time and the Parislan gossip is that through his instrumentality certain good Americans have purchased the interest in Cochet's sporting goods store in Lyons which had been held by a group of Frenchmen interested in French lawn tennis. Jack Curley, who has assisted Til- den in promoting the program of the Tilden Tennis Tours, Inc. is now on his way to Paris. So defi- nite announcement one way or the other concerning Cochet’s future may soon be expected. Cochet began his tennis career as a ball boy, thereby approximating youthful experiences of the number of American pro golfers of fame. TAKES TROTTING STAKE. TORONTO, July 30.—Hollyrood Susan, fast-stepping daughter of Peter Volo, won the 2.12 trot, the Mall and Empire Stake of $5,000, a feature of the concluding day of the Grand Cir- cuit races at Thoncliffe. By WALTER HE next competitive golf season may find, in addition to the host of invitation events held each year about Washington and Baltimore, the leading golfers of Mary- land, Virginia, Philadelphia and New York pitted against each other in & series of team matches similar to those for the Lesley Cup, which is played for each year between Boston and Phila- delphia. Plans for such a competition have been announced today by Robert Mc- Lean, president of the Maryland State Golf Association. He said he would immediately seek the co-operation of officials of the Philadelphia District Golf Association and the Metropolitan Golf Association. Officials of the Vir- ginia State Association already have given their assent. When the schedule is arranged several golfers from clubs |about the Capital located in Maryland are expected to be on the hand-picked team of the Maryland association. McLean said the team from Mary- land necessarily will have to be a picked proposition. “We will have to be hard boiled about it,” he said, “for we cannot afford to let sentiment and geographic pride ruin our chance to win.” Fred Mackay, secretary of the Virginia State Golf Association, said the team to represent his organization prob- ably would be picked from among the leaders in the State champlonship each year. | " “McLean plans to start the ball rolling | immediately. If he cannot obtain the promises of ths Philadelphia and New York districts to sand teams, he pr poses to have a three-team league or ganized, with teams from Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia to lay. At the same time McLean said that plans for the sending of a considerable delegation from Baltimore to the na- tional amateur champlonship, which starts August 1 near Chicago, are near- ing completion. “We are planning to reserve a special car for Chicago and hope to have quite a number of Balti- moreans go to the tourney to observe the event they will have in charge in he said. “We 2lso hope we may a number of Washington' golfers STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO Are Unable to Declare Cup Among Their Possessions YEOMANS IN FINAL BY UPSET VICTORY Beats Smith at Hot Springs and Will Play Mangan or Muehleisen. l [ District of Columbia racketer, will face the winner of the match between Tom Mangan, another Washington netman, and Pvt.

The cup will be presented to the win- ner Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock by Walter Johnson. manager of the Washington base team. Sports writers of the Capital were playing today over the course at Wash- ington Barracks in the annual tourney | for the Cleland trophy. The trophy is | a tin quart cup covered with the names of those who have won it in past years, purchased in a 10-cent store some years | ago by Capt. J. R. D.
