That la a question that the English experts

The English seem to believe that the

The three countries represented this year
are those named above. The English team
wll be chosen from B. H. Smith. F. L.
Rlseley, M. J. O. Ritchie. H. Roper Barrett,
. F. and H. L. Doherty. The Auetra-
laslan nomination Includes the names of
Norman Brookes, their csptaln: A. F.
wilding. L. O. S. Poldevln and O. O.
Sharp. Bears C. Wright and Karl H. Behr
are the only certainties for the American
team at the present writing. The Ameri
can International committee may add some
other player or players, as opportunity
offers. It does not appear likely at this
time that R. D. Little will be able, to go
abroad this year. However, the Americans
have plenty of time to name other players,
aa the tlma for announcing teams still Is
some weeks distant.
' Of tha retirement of the Dohertya and the
' resultant condition of the English pros
; pects, a writer In the Sportsman of Lon
' don. under the head of "English Su
premacy: Is It In Jeopardy?" says: 'The
pity of h Is that out of the myriads of
lawn tennis players tn England and the
hundred or so who will enter the lists at
Wimbledon there Is no legitimate successor
; to the great Laurie Doherty. As I have
, stated, nothing Is certain yet, but from
I what I can gather the probability la that
I H. L will this year give the championships
rest, but be persuaded on patriotic
' grounds to play In the internationals.

In the preliminary round It may be said
that both Smith and Rlseley have shown a
disposition to eschew serious in the claims

th members of the Lawn Tennis associ

at least has promised to do so.

Then of th Australians he erits by sav
ing: "Assuming that If. L. Doherty doe
not defenl the championship Norman
Brookes would only have to repeat his
form of I9o5 to attain the honor he then so
nearly won. He was Invincible In the ail-
now and rovers' competition, and Wilding, who re

In the International, what an attraction It
would be."
Naturally enough I O. S. Poldevln. on
of those nominated for the Austra'nslan
team, might be expected to view th
: rhancee of th Antipodean with favor.
Writing to the London Express he goea
the situation generally
He seems to
believe that the results of the preliminary
tie depends upon BeoJs Wright. That Is
considered true here, too, and much also
la considered to depend upon the form
shown by Karl Behr. Mr.- Poldevln, says
In rrt:
"The avowed retirement of the Doherty
brothers has awakened the poaslblllty and
even the probability of a chinve of hold
era, and the consensus seems to favor tht
Idee, that England la gotng to lose the
trophy thts year. The probability Is that
1 America snd Australia wHl. as last year,
J dispute the right to challenge England,
1 The compoaltlon of both teams is already
known, and as It may safely he assumed
that all the players will be at their best,
speculation as to the result Is even at this
stage possible."
Mr. Poldevln then proceeds tn speculate
on the basis of certs In players whom he
names aa the American team. It Is
not
the
certain rlgh now
the these will be
Amtrican players.
America rhnmplnna
"The American team," he continues,
"comprlaea Beals Wrlcht. Raymond Little
and Karll Behr. while the Australasian
nominations Include Norman Brookes. A
F. Wilding, Oi O. Sham and L. O. S.
PMdven. Australasia will, of course, relv
upon Brookes and Wilding; In both alnvlea
and doublea. one or other ef the remaining
nominesa playing only In case of emer
gency. Great thinrs ar anticipated from
the Australian pair. Already their vic
tory la widely prophealed In lawn tenn's
clrclea. but my own View l not nearly so
aanruln In the first place, we d- not
know for certain how the American, will
elect to be represented In the singles Only
two of the three nominesa citn compete.
"Much will depend on the form of Beals
Wright. Last year, though a member of
the American team, he was unable to play.
It will be recalled tbat as a result nf an
unfortunate accident Just before leaving
America he had the Index finger of his
right hand amputated on his arrival ln
England. Owing to this incident people
fancy that he will not ayaln reach the high
standard to which he attained a couple of
seasons back. They take Beals Wright's
recent form on the Rlveria. where he was
beaten two love sets by Ritchie, as cor
roborative of this view. But we must not
be deceived Into, taking his form there any
more seriously than he himself apparently
took hla matches. - For myeelf I see no
reason why he should not return to ths
magnificent form he displayed tn England
ln W). and which later won him the
American championship.
"He Is a left-handed player, so that the
loss of a finger on his right hand cannot
Interfere In the least with Ms actual
handling of his racket,, and besides he
belong, to that sturdy, plucky class of
men whom nothing leas than the loss of
playing arm would stop, having once made
up his mind to playing well. I expect to
find him la his very best form again, and
cannot forget that he twice beat Brookes
when they met ln Tr006, once before and
once after the Auatrallan's great triumph
at Wimbledon.
"Brookes Is reported to be playing a
stronger game than ever; Wilding, who
recently had three weeks' play with him
before leaving for Melbourne, regards him
