The outgrowth of the bitter feeling is the result of the keen rivairy in the sprints. “The competition was nothing ex- traordinary last year,” said Eaton. “That is the reason why Goullet and Brocco had things their own way.

Spain to Play For Davis Cup Spain entered the Davis Cup lists yesterday with the filing by cable of a challenge for the international team tennis championship trophy. The cable, addressed to the United States Lawn Tennis Association, was signed by Jose Mesalies of Barcelona, Secretary of the Spanish Lawn Tennis Association. Spain was a newcomer in this competition last season, being the first nation to challenge in 1921. Drawn against British Isles in the first round, the Spanish team played in Europe and lost. ‘The team's chances are more favor- ably regarded this year, however, for the exporience of last summer's match and the additional experience secured by Manuel Alonso in various Buropean tournaments will strengthen it considerably. Alonso is highly re- garded abroad, several experts de- scribing him as one of the world's leading players at the present time.

Ain‘t that the evidence that I didn’t hit him? No, sir—not me!" And the Magistrate loose. turned him All Bets Were Off.
