Team Makes | Obseivations-on Saturday’s Games. Maxwell S, Porter, of Lexington ktreet, captain of the High school ennis team, who witnessed the in- ernational tennis matches, has pre- pared for the Herald an interesting esume of the affair, which follows: Australasia captured the Davis lennis cup only because America has put one McLoughlin. The Aus- alasians took a lead of 2 to-1 by vinning the doubles on Friday, but ven with this handicap the crowd pf 12,000 assembled at the Forest Hills courts with no little, amount of hope in their hearts. Brookes and Willlams entered the pourt at 2:15 and began immediate- ‘Williams was very nervous while he veteran Brookes appeared . calm nd determined.

Brookes took the initiative at the Gold! There’s lots of it—but generally too mixed with rock to be profitable. Much the same with food value.

His drives became truer and his entire game steadier and he soon led 2-1, but Brookes won the fourth game at net. Both played beautiful tennis, each winning his own service: until the challenger, showing wonderful head- work, broke through in the fif- teenth game. With the score of 2- love in sets and 8-7 in games against him, Williams for a time lost his ner- vousness and electrified the crowd by brilliantly winning the next three games and the set 10-8. The crowd went wild and Brookes threw down his racquet and balls and covered his ears seemingly in a state of nervous demoralization. Of course the crowd intended no disrespect to the visitor but was only applauding the bril- liant “pep” of our defender. The customs prevalent in Australasia and England, as I observed at last year's match, are entirely different from those in vogue here, and Brookes was not accustomed to such outbursts which as Anthony Wilding says, “en- tirely unnerved the veteran.” In the fourth set Williams played the same kind of nervous tennis that he showed at the start of the match, netting his' back hand drives repeat- edly, and Brookes won, 6-3, thereby capturing for Australasia again the much-prized Davis cup. Soon after the first and deciding match was over, Maurice E. Me- Loughlin and Anthony F. Wilding ap- peared on the court. Of course it must be remembered that the heavy strain of winning or losing the cup which had so demoralized Williams had been removed and these two wonders ‘“‘cut loose” and astonished the crowd. Frederick B.- Alexander say, “For fifteen yéars I have fol- lowed tennis both as a player and as a student of the game, but during that time I have never witnessed an exhibition equal to that shown by McLoughlin.” His_service, the speed of his drives and his generalship enthused the crowd to the highest pitch, and by defeating Norman E. Brookes, the world’'s recognized champion, on Thursday and his old épponent, An- thony F. Wilding on Saturday, Mc- Loughlin has made himself the fore- most figure in the tennis world. MAXWELL S. PORTER. ROOSEVELT IN BOSTON. Boston, Aug. 17.—The prospect of recelving from Theodore Roosevelt advice as to the conduct of the com- ing state campaign brought mem- bers of the progressive party from all parts of the state to this city today to attend the progressive field day arranged for this afternoon at Fen- way park. Col Roosevelt, who spent Sunday at Newfane, Vt. planned to come here by train tg deliver his address late in the after- noon. He had promised to pregent the prizes to the winners of the atn. letics which were to precede his speech. PRAYS FOR PEACE. The Rev. Charles Coppens, pastor of St. Peter’s church, of which the con- gregation is composed of Germans, Austrians and French, while its pastor is Belglan, prayed for peace at the services yesterday. SHORN OF 115 STING [Mslouunlm's Playing Marks Him| as World’s Best. The Davis Cup passed from Ameri- | can hands at 3:46 o'clock Saturday | afternoon when R. Norris Willlams | 24 netted a short drive of Norman | Brooks’, giving the Australian tain the point he needed to win the fourth set and take a sensational match at the West Side Tennis club, Forest Hill, L. L, by 3 sets to 1. For the Americans to retain the tro- phy it was necessary for the ex- Harvard student to defeat Brookes. He put up a game fight, but he waged a losing battle almost from the start. McLougtlin’s Great Feat, Although the trophy has been car- ried off, considerable of the sting has been taken out of America’s defeat by the wonderful achievement of Maurice E. McLoughlin in vanquish- ing each of the great Australasian pair, Norman E. Brookes and An- thon F. Wilding. Wilding had held the all England championship for three years and Brookes took it away from him this year. As the tournament winner at Wimbledon is generally regarded as the world’'s title holder, the crown passes with- out dispute to the marvellous Cali- fornian. The triumph of the young from the west will not benefit him alone either, as it really takes the world’s championship tournament from ‘Wimbledon and trans- plant it in Newpor When play commences at the famous Casino courts a week from _today, McLoughlin will therefore be defend- ing a universal rather than a national crown. cap- | )y | man Outlook Is Bright. The outlook for the recovery of the cup is bright, and it seems probable that it will not remain away from home for more than a year. It is an established fact that there are now no two men in the world outside of Brookes and Wilding who could have taken the bowl away, and it is doubtful if they will ever play inter- national tennis again. Brookes is no longer a youngster, and in his various matches in this country this year has proved that he cannot stand the strain of a long, hard battle. Even now he is con- templating dropping tennis and turn- ing to golf. Wilding is not as old as Brookes, and although he had not lost a set outside of those that Mec- Loughlin took from him during the international matches, it was very evident that he had retrograded a great deal from the form which kept him at the head of the ;world’s ten- nis players for the last four years. It does not seem likely that they will defend the cup. The trophy must be ‘defended in Australasia, and it is doubtful if either of these men will go back there. Wilding has been in business in England for about five years. Brookes left the Anti- podes last fall, and it is said that he probably will make his home in England, too. New Players Inexperienced. This would put the defence of the cup up to'a team of practically inex- perienced players. Alfred W. Dun- lop is the only member of this year’s challenging team that will return to Australasia. Stanley N, Doust has made his home in England for some time. Outside of Dunlop, who played in Davis cup matches in other years, the only available men in Austral- asia with - international experience are Horace Rice and A Booth Jones, who played in America 1last year. Neither of these men can cope with the American players, and the young- er crop of raeket wielders has not shown any particular star. A summary of Saturday's matches follow.
