NEW YORK. Dec. 25 The premier
tennis players dl the world is repre
sented by the UnMed States and Aus
tralasia teams will meet on the turf
courts at Auckland. New Zealand, dur
ing the Doming week in ihe fifteenth
Struggle for the Davis cup. The tro-j
phy, emblematic of the world's team'
tennis chi nrploiifdiip, occupies Die1
un'que position of being t lie most fre
quently competed for International I
sport prize In the history of amateur I
athletic contests. Donated In 1900 b)
Dwight F. Davis, at that time Amer
ican double champion wiih Holcombe
Ward, the trophy has been battled fori
fourteen limes in ihe past 20 years.
Dunn? this period Australasian teams j
lave won It six times; British Isles';
players live times and United Stale
combinations three times.
FAST MATCHES.
In 'he coming matches, which will I
conshu of four singles contests and'
one doubles match, the United States;
will appeal In ihe role of challenger
and the Australasians as defenders.!
Four Americans composing the 1920
team arrived at Auckland, December!
15. the party consisting of William T. 1
Tilden of Philadelphia; William M.
Johnston of San Francisco; Watson
M. Wash bin 11 of New York, and Sam
uel Hardy of Chicago. The defend
inR quarter so far as Is known In this!
iouiiiry, win prouaniv dc composed ot
Gerald Patterson, Norman Brookes, R
V Thomas and H. O'Hara Wood. The
actual alignment ol players will noi
I bo announced until shortly before t,,
I matches. It is expected that Tlldcn
and Johnston will bear the brunt of
; the American attack while Patterson
and Brookes will bo the Australasian
' players.
Close followers of tennis are ln
lollned to be optimistic regarding the
j outcome of the matches believing Lha:
1 in Tilden. world's singles champion,
land Johnston, former American cham
pion, who is rated Just a stroke or
jtwo below Tlldcn at the present time.
, the United States bas an invincible
pair Watson Is a formidable relief
player in case either of the stars be
come indisposed while Hardy, who in
reality is captain and manager of the
team, can play a superlative game if
occasion demands. Patterson Is the
power in the Australian team play
ing a game somewhat similar to, thai
of Maurlc McLoughlin, when lli- lat
I ter was al Ihe top of his tenuis form.
Brookes, undoubtedly one of the preat
eat players of ull times, Is well ad
1 vanced In years from a playing stand
j point and cannot be expected td carry
the burden of two slnsles matches and
one doubles match in three days, if ha
pairs with Patterson In doubles he will
not appear in the singles It may he,
however, that Brookes und Patterson
will devote their efforts to tho singles
and leave the doubles contest to Thom
as and Wood, who make a most for
midable team.
VAST DATA

which has accumulated in connection!
the hunting plans. The day I visited
them John took the Kan; off from camp
about five miles.
ON THE RUNWAYS.
He divided them Into hunters and drlv- !
Ts. The hunters were stationed along
Ibe deer rinv.n . r paths and the 0M1
crs went on wide circle detours. To put
tho deer on the run they bark like dogs
and beat the brush.
The guide showed as much strategy in
stationing the hunters along the lookout
spots aa Trls Speaker used In lining them

The boys take turns about bMnit hunt

that he hud Won the- Individual cham

would indicate that tho youngster la a

This means that every one of the forty
shots on the eight targets, shot in four
positions, sitting, kneeling, standing
and prone, all went through the bull's
eye. irhlon is one Inch in diametor, at
a distance of &0 feot. The targets of
the 12 lads wero so good that they

jtled for first place, each with a pcr
Ifcet score of 200, but theer were no
ehootoffs. Beck's targets were so
good that he was awarded first place.

were his four sighting shots. On all

The championship event has been
'contested three times. It was won in
1918 by Miss Majorle Kinder of
