LARNED, CLOTHIER, WARD AND WRIGHT Tram that Will Try for the Inter, national Trophy Stronger Than Any Except One of the Doherty. LONDON, June 10. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Given a line summer one equal In exuberance to that of last year there la no reason why the lawn tennis season of 1906 should not beat all records In every respect. Despised nowadays are those writ ers of pessimism who through the office window of Fleet street Imagined that they aw all of the tennis courts of Kngland either in a chaotic state of disuse or given over, one and all, to the gentler charms of croquet: From the partial decline which was encountered some four or five years ago, the game has now proudly raised Its head, secure In the knowledge that the po sition of lawn tennis Is being strengthened every season; proud, too, at the homage received at the hands of every nation In the civilised world. Of coursj the International matches In London during July will occupy much at tention, but It Is to be doubted whether they will enjoy quite as much public patronage as the championship meeting at Wimbledon a week or so earlier. The ques tion depends a great deal upon the foreign representatives enter at the premier meet ing, if Lamed, Ward. Wright and Cloth ier, the members of the American team, arrive in England sufficiently early to try their strength a very solid strength, let it be said In the British championship lists that will be more than an adequate induce ment for a big gallery; and it is doubtful whether the policy of playing what may be the same games at the same rlace several " Weeks later may meet with the success that the authorities anticipate. The end of July for anything in the shape of a London func tion, even a sporting function with England and America In rivalry. Is not a period of tho year which suggests the same appre ciation as would he forthcoming at the be ginning qf the month. Outlook for the Tourney. In prophesying that the Yankees will be England opponents In the challenge round It mut not be thought that there is any wish to disparage the caliber of the teann that are coming over from Australia, France, Belgium and Austria. At the samo time, however, except the players from tho colonies who, by the way are going to play a test match "on their own" with a British six there Is no evidence to war rant the assumption that the foreign teams are any better than they were lust year. It Is true that the Austrian representatives mistaking, it was said, Wimbledon for some Isolated town in Russia failed to put In an appearance at the theater of the play, and therefore there was no actual means of Judging their form on grass courts; but It Is generally accepted that even the best men In Austria are not the equals of the leading French and Belgian experts. As these two countries did not make a partic ularly formidable fight against England last year, there Is only Australasia left in the discussion. Now, according to a certain eminent authority from "down under," who has recently been discoursing quite learn edly on lawn tennis methods nnd Inciden tally on cricket swerving, the men from tho Antipodes are "going to make It warm" for the holders of the cup, and If they do not actually lift the trophy they are credited with the determination to run the men of England very close. This view is probably dictated by the sanguine spirit which Is supposed to always hover over colonial zeal; it Is certainly at variance with the actual probabilities. The team chosen to represent Australasia, N. E. Brookes, A. W. Dunlop, II. A. Parktr and A. F. Wilding, may be the strongest combination the Colonies can supply, but it Is not strong enough to beat even the American contingent, who will, therefore, bar the way to the challenge round, where Englnnd Is waiting. Of Brookes and Dun lop not much is known here except that Dr. W. V. Eaves, who Is now In this coun try, could probably give either of them points. H. A. Parker Is the present cham pion of New Zealand and a very pertina cious player, but In this country he would probably be ranked on a level with F. W. Tayn. About Wilding there is the making of a great player, and as a Cambridge un dergraduate he has certainly done remark ably well; but his powers are not yet fully developed. In short, surprise us as the Australasians may, they have scarcely the ability, nnd assuredly not the credentials of the Americans. Chance for Americana. Can America beat England? That Is the question that Is being asked everywhere. It appears to be contingent upon the Doh ertys. In them England must place its faith. Lamed, Ward, Clothier and Wright have all been In this country before Ward accompanied by the generous donor of the International cup when the pair came so near to beating the present champions at Wimbledon. Larned has beaten R. F. Doh erty In America and run "H. L." very close indeed. He Is a brilliant all-around expo nent, gifted with all those hustling propen sities for which the Americans are re nowned; moreover, he has had a fair amount of practice against our best men and carries a large reserve of stamina. He might not be able to beat the present Eng lish champion, but when It came to the second round assuming that R. F. Doherty were playing superior condition and greater alertness might combine to tell a different tale. And If R. F. Doherty were Larned, at his best, could be beaten. Cloth not chosen. It Is a little difficult to see how lor, the second American string In the sin- The Best Hot Weather Medicine ALB TEN MILLION BOXES A S3r A jr w .bw m mm -- m. v 1 S CANDY CATHARTIC i a An Drsccteu PRFVFMT ALL fUlMHrn nnwn n 70 w muUHLH J I gles, is a vastly improved exponent of late years, and last year beat Larned In the American championships at Newport. He is now generally regarded In the States as practically tip-top. Holcombe Ward, who, with Beals Wright, will attack In the dou bles. Is the present champion of the United States, a heady player, thoroughly awaku, and possessing every ounce of grit. On the whole America will send to Eng land a thoroughly capable team, trained up to the hilt, and every man Imbued with the fixed Idea of taking back to Uncle Sam the cup which his representatives so ably de fended on American soil on too memorable occasions.

Fourteen repre sentative ot the Vesyvr Boat club of Philadelphia, who go abroad to take part I i:i the rowing competition for the Grand Challenge cup at the Henley regatta, sailed on the Americe.n line steamer New York today. The Vesper Boat club won the world's championship at the Olympic games In Paris in 19U0 and again at St. Louis last year. Upon reaching Southampton they will go at once to Maitland-on-the-Thames, where final preparations for the race will be made. New York Athletic Club Meet. NEW YORK, June 10. The seventy fourth set of track and held events of the New York Athletic club took place today on the oval at Travers island. Many prom inent Intercollegiate athletes and the best performers for local cluhs took part In the games. The best contest of the day was the two-mile relay race, in which four teams, representing the Irish-American Athletic club, Yale university and the Mo hawk Athletic club of this city were com petitors. They finished In the order named and established a new American record for such an event, the time being 7:54, which is 4Vfc seconds better than the previous record. Automobile Topics. An Immense automobile parade was pulled off In Minneapolis on June 2. It represented nearly $1,000,000 of automobile wealth. One learned in the ways of designers and builders has said that the improvements of one year are the mistakes of the previous year rectified. Mr. H. M. Hopewell, banker at Tekamah. Neb., who purchased an auto a few weeks ago, is making preparations for a trip to Portland, in the machine. In 1925 (Constable in automobile, to man over head in airship) Hey, there! Your'e exceeding the speed limit! Airship driver All right, don't shoot! I'll come down! Both amateur and nrofesslonal chauffeurs will find It a good plan to make a praetice u it-ming meir uraaes irequenuy, else they may not be able to apply them prop erly when an emergency arises. C. W. Peters of Millard, Neb., was In the city on the 6th, picked out his machine from Fredrickson's stock and drove It home that evening. Mr. Peters will enjoy his machine very much on the spins Into Omaha, having paved streets within two miles of his home in Millard, over the Center street course. A proposition through .which much good may be done on the highways Is being made to clubs hy the American Motor league. To all clubs that Join the national body, the Hrst year's dues will be remitted In full, provided the money is spent in erecting league sign boards where they are needed in the territory ad 1a cent to the home of the club. A critical examination of the reports of the race meets run thus far, shows a much greater proportion of well contested races and close , finishes than heretofore. This affords ground for the hope that automo bile racing may become a real sport. Automobiles have been Introduced by the United States government In the Depart ment of Submarine Mines. This does not mean that submarine motor has been built. A Columbia electric truck chassis, of five ton hauling capacity, has been bought and shipped to Fort Totten. N. Y. There it is to lie equipped with a big gasoline engine that will run an electric light gen erator. The new engine and dynamo 'will have nothing to do with the driving of the car, hut will be a portable plant for fur nishing IlKht to the men laying the mines In the harbors. It Is a promising sign that the mechanical sharps of the big factories are getting to gether to co-operate toward the production of bettor and more economical automobiles. In the discussion of "carburetters," at the June meeting of the mechanical branch of the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers. It was revealed that In the development of the motor car the work of the builders has been to an astounding extent, empirical. These chief engineers of the thirty odd licensed concerns, are now urranglng to determine scientific prin ciples through laboratory demonstration and apply them to their work. This sort of organization in the industry means not only cars for less money, but cars that will coht less to keep in commission. A crowd of several Hundred persons stood, a few days ago. looking at a nre which had Just broken out on upper Broadway, N. Y., and about which the police lines had not yet been formed. Suddenly there was the clang of the big gong and the snorting sound of an uninuffied gasoline engine. The crowd turned to look at a big auto mobile, which was painted a glaring red all over. The tonneau had been removed and a man stood up behind the driver's seat, manipulating the gong. The machine stopped and the driver stepped out. One arm was In a sling, but he had on a pair of fireman's service boots. It waa Fire Chief Croker, and he had driven his forty hone-rower car to the scene with one hand. The fire spertarle wss forgotten bv the crowd and It paused to cheer the plucky head of the fire department whom nothing txtd.'iui to daunt. GERMAN OARSMEN MAY COME Crewe from the Vaterland Expected at the Baltimore Regatta. RECIPROCAL RACES NOW IN PROSPECT Americans Will Race at Hamburg and Berlin, and the Germans Will Return the Compli ment In Kind. NEW YORK, June 10. Negotiations are pending for an invasion of American re gattas by German crews and the possible establishment of periodical international contests between the oarsmen of the two countries. Heretofore, with one exception, transatlantic rowing has been confined to America and England. True, entries have been received for our national regatta, but no German crew has yet competed on this side of the water. So, unless the prasent plans fall, the novelty of oarsmen from Berlin and Hamburg contesting row ing supremacy with our best crews will be sen this year at Baltimore when tho annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen Is held. Moreover, the schedule of German re gattas has been arranged to admit of Amer ican crews racing at Hamburg and re turning to this country In abundant time to compete In the national regatta. Ac cordingly, the Atalanta Boat club of this city lias been entered at the Hamburg re gatta on July 18 and 17. It will be repre sented by Muloahy and Varley, who last year won the senior double event at St. Louis. Funds have been provided for the trip, and the oarsmen will sail on the Hamburg on June 28. They are due to ar rive at Hamburg July 6, and will have ten days to become acclimated and get Into good condition. Philadelphia May Go, Too. An Invitation has also been extended to the Vesper Boat club of Philadelphia to compete. As the English Henley will close the first week In July, this would give the Phlladelphians ten days to get to Ham burg after the, British championships. Sec retary Frederick R. Fortmeyer of the na tional association has arranged the de tails jot the trip from London to Hamburg and submitted them to the Vesper Boat club Henley committee for its approval. Although no action has been taken aa yet. It. is probable that the Vesper eight will be found among the competitors. Secretary Fortmeyer expects to attend the English and German regattas in an effort to Induce German crews to compete at Baltimore. If successful It Is expected that In future the dates of the American and German national regattas will be ar ranged to permit crews of either country tc compete In both events. This Is the plan which has passed between the Ameri can and German authorities. Should Secretary Fortmeyer go abroad It Is hoped that English, French and other foreign crews may be Induced to come over for the national regatta. It Is known that the Belgans are anxious to send their best oarsmen to this country. The others would readily follow the German lead, no doubt. German Oarsmen Wllllna-. Last year Germany was to have been represented In the St. Louis national re gatta, but a conflict of dates prevented Waldemar Sand of the Berliner Rowing club of Berlin from participating In the singles. Sand and Adolph Myeller wer also entered In the Intermediate doubles. They competed In the Hamburg regatta - n July 18 aid IT, winning several events They cabled Secretary Fortmeyer they would leave Hamburg on the Deutschlani on July 20 due bare 00 July 27. As the St. Louis regatta was scheduled for Juty 29 and 30, they were advised by cable that It would be impossible for them to reach St. Louis In time to compete. They there fore abandoned the trip, but out of the Incident grew the present far-reaching ne gotiations. The recent visit of the Ger man Turners stimulated the project and the ocean yacht race for the kaiser's $6,000 gold cup helped to forward the friendly relation. As for reciprocal visits of American crews abroad it has already been determined that should the national regatta at Baltimore develop an eight-oared crew sufficiently fast to be reasonably sure of winning it would be entered to race at Henley. Names, with substitutes to the number of twenty five in all, would be sent, Including a good single sculler, a double and a four. After competing at Henley It would be sent to Hamburg, Paris, Amsterdam and Antwerp, where the leading European regattas are held. Should the committee fall to find any entry this year it has been suggested that the national regatta be held early in June next year, that a good crew may be trained and entered in the regatta In Ger many before the entry list closes, June 16. It would be too late for the Henley, as nominations must be made before March 31, but the crews couli be entered In the European nnd French championships and the International regatta, all three of which are held over the Courbevol course, near Paris, In the Berlin regatta at Grunau and the Amsterdam and Antwerp events, making a two months' tour. Germany In the Game. Germany Is well reprepented In rowing, having over fifty prominent organizations. Among the clubs which would be likely to send entries to the national regatta In this country are the North German Row ing society, Berliner Rowing club, Union Rowing club of Berlin, Hamburger Rowing club, Viking Rowing club of Berlin, Aca demical Turn Vereln of Berlin, Victoria Rowing club of Berlin, Helas Rowing club, Sport BorusHla, Vlneta Rowing club, Sport Germanla Rowing club, Allemanla Rowing club, Favorite Hammonla of Hamburg, Wainier Rowing Vereln, Brlma Rowing club of Bremen nnd Academical Rowing club of Berlin, all of which have entries in this year's Hamburg championship. Besides the Atalanta crew, several Eng- ish and French clubs will compete thera. The four-oared crew of the Thames Rowing club of Ixindon will be called upon to de fend the kaiser's prizo for four-oared events, the trophy they won last year.
