NEW YORK, Aug. ii .—The Austral-
asian challengers for the Davis cup
and the team oi American defenders
practiced yesterday on the West Side
club courts where the international
matches will begin Thursday. Norman
E. Brokes, Australasian captain. and
Anthony F. Wilding tried out strokes
at singles. Wilding was a trifle oil”
form, and Brokes gotafnllaudtwist-
ed his ankle, which ended their work.
The American. followers are
wrought up over whether Karl ll.
lie-hr or Thomas C. liundy is to be
selected to play in the doubles with
Maurice E. Mclioughlin, Players and
professionals are of the opinion that
liundy has failed to show form since
his arrival from California. 'They
favor lletlr because of his fiery brii~
liancy, despitet his being erratic. Mc-
Loughlin is loyal to his partner and
the committee is in a quandary as to
how to make a selection without
bringing about a rupture. 5
Behr practiced against \Doan
iMathey yesterday and was in good
form. hicboughlin and R. Norris Wil-
liams. 2nd. were also on hand. but be
cause of the heat and a threatening
shower the practice was short. ‘
’l‘he Australaslnns approved the ar-
rangements and remarked that the
courts were fast. hard and true.
SMITH MAKES APOLOGY.‘
_“Gunbont:" Smith. the American
heavyweight, who lost his fight to
Georges Carpentler -In London on a
foul has set at rest the many absurd
reports sent to America relative to the
decision by writing the following lat-
ter to Eugene Corrl. who oiliciatad as
referee:

ing to tell you how sorry i am that
you had to be humiliated as to the de-
.‘cision which as referee you gave in
my fight with Georges Carpentisr. l
I feel ah though it is only my duty 90
let you know that I fully understood
‘ your position. and i know you acted'
in the way which you thought was
honest and fair
“it ever i have the occasion to fight

f Among the New York rooters the im
pression has gained ground that as a
judge of players John J. McGraw is
infallible. But this season he is little
less than that—just middling infalli-
ble, as one might say. Dick Rudolph.

to the fans of New York every four
days or so in spite of very light hit
ting support Rudolph. according to the
latest averages. has won 14 games and
lost only seven. Many of his victories
have hens shutouts.
McGraw had Rudolph many seasons
ago. but let him go back to the inter-
national League after an extended
trial. If it had been any other man
ager but McGraw. Rudolph might not
have been in such a predicament. for
he might feel certain that he would be
brought back to the “big show" once
more. but the dismissal by the boss of
the Giants was a millstone about his
neck. No other big reague manager
would have anything to do with him.
“it McGraw canned you there must
be something the matter with you, be-
cause he never makes a mistake." was
the retort of every big league Scout
when Rudolph sought to press his own
claims as sgood malor league "buy."
it was only by refusing to sign for
another season in the International
League that Rudolph managed to get
back into the National League by way
of the Braves. Sailings has- no reason
to regret his purchase.

National League fans are almost

themselves so decisively the masters
of the Giants in every department of
the game that there is absolutely no
chance of the New Yorkers doing any-
thing unuuonal in the his series.
