The matches, which will continue four days, are to decide whether an Amer ican or British team shall go to Aus tralia to try for the trophy. The English team is made up of J. C. Parke, N. C. Crawley and C. P. Dixon. The American contestants are W. J. Clothier, H. H. Hackett, \V. A. Lamed and R. F. Little. TO Mexico Since Dwight F. Davis of St. Louis offered the trophy which bears his name for an international lawn tennis match in 1900 many countries have interested themselves in the compe tition. The trophy passed from Amer ica to England and from England to Australia. Besides these three Bel guim, France and Austria challenged for the bowl. The last three were outclassed in the attempts, none of their players ever having won a match against the teams they drew. In the eight competitions held since it was first offered England and America have been contenders seven times. Australia won the trophy on the third attempt and successfully defended it last year. After Mr. Davis offered the trophy the British sent over in 1900 a team made up of A. W. Gore, E. D. Black and H. Roper-Barrett. America's play ers were Malcolm D. Whitman, Hol combe Ward and the donor, Dwight F. Davis. The Americans were vic torious. The year following a challenge was made by the British, but at the last moment notice was sent that a team could not be made up. However, the year following, 1902, the English sent across again after the trophy. Dr. J. Pirn and the Dohertys were the challengers. Reginald Doherty took three sets and beat Lamed. Pirn won a set from Whitman, but the latter responded by defeating the British champion of 1893 and 1894 a love set. The other singles were played off the same day and the cup was won again then and there. Lamed defeated Pirn and Whitman defeated Doherty, both in straight sets. The doubles were played and the Dohertys gave an exhibition of their quality by defeating Ward and Davis, the Amer ican champions. The fatal lawn tennis year for the United States was 1903. At Long wood the English renewed"the strug gle for the bowl. They were victor ious and returned with the coveted trophy to England. America did not send a team m 1904. The Belgians did and were beaten 5-0. The next year, 1905, was the banner year for the cup. Owing to the entry of so many teams play had to be split up. America defeated France 5-0 and Australia did the same for Austria. America beat the Antipodeans 5-0. The Americans were outclassed in the final with England. Ward had to withdraw be cause of a death in his family, and Clothier, who took his place, did not do anything in the one match he played. The disaster to Wright and the poor play of Kreigh Collins, the westerner, before the American team left in 1906 discounted in advance the chances of the Americans. They were successful in the preliminaries, however, but in the finals they were beaten by the British five straight. The matches of 1907 resulted in a victory for the Australians, Norman E. Brooks and Anthony F. Wilding, who carried the trophy away from England defeated America in 1903. Last year, at Melbourne, Brooks and Wilding easily defeated Wright and Alexander, the American challengers, in doubles, and Wilding defeated Alexander in singles. Should the Americans defeat the British in the matches now being played on the courts of the German town Cricket club an American team will sail for Australia the first week in October to meet the holding nation in the challenge competition for the cup.

"Will' Crooks Coining to Ameria. London. Sept. 10. — William Crooks, the well known Labor mem ber of parliament, sailed today on a tour that will take him around the world. He is accompanied by his wife, who also has figured prom inently in labor movements in Eng land, and the two plan to make ex haustive investigations into labor and Industrial conditions in the principal countries of the world. They will spend three weeks In Canada and later will visit many of the chief cities of the United States. "Will" Crooks, as he is popularly known, is one of the most striking personalities in English pubic life to day. As a trembling urchin of nine he was driven by sheer starvation to seek refuge in a workhonse. In later years he had the satisfac:ion of becoming chairman of the same board of guardians that had sent him to the workhouse as a child. When only eleven years old he was apprenticed to a blacksmith. When fourteen he was earning only $1.50 a week at the smithy. Then he chang ed to the trade of cooper and served a seven-year apprenticeship. Then in 1576. being prominent in some small trade dispute, he lost his ap pointment and had to go on a tramp searching for a livelihood. Christmas day. 1876, saw him still a tramp, without boots, without a penny in his pocket. Then his luck took a turn. By sheer hard work he progressed until he became a mas ter cooper and a ruling spirit fin labor questions. His reward came in 1903, when he captured the con servative stronghold of Woolwich and was returned to parliament with more than three thousand votes to spare. $3.50 Recipe Cures Weak Men—Free Send Name and Address Today- Yon Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous.
