A
. England, America, Austria, Germany
and Belgium to Send Delegates to
France Next July Competition In
Countries Close Is Desired.
, Even before the result of the matches
for the Davis cup, held at Christ
church, New Zealand, was known
steps to Institute an entirely new com
petition for the lawn tennis champion
ship of the world bad been taken. A
formal invitation has been sent to the
' various lawn tennis governing bodies
by the president of the French society,
which rules lawn tennis, asking them
to send representatives to a conference
. which is to be held in Paris in July.
The' purpose of this conference is to
decide whether It is desirable to in
stitute a lawn tennis championship
of the world, and, if the answer is in
the affirmative, to formulate rules to
govern the competition and to select
a time and place for holding the first
meeting. It is almost a certainty that
Great Britain, Germany, Austria and
Belgium will send delegates to the
conference, while France will, of
course, have its representatives there.
"For a number of - years there has
been talk of a world's championship
lawn tennis meeting. It is felt that
the Davis cup competition, while in
a measure serving the purpose, has
never done so fully owing to its being
a contest between nations instead of
one between individuals. This feeling
has gained in strength with each year
the Davis cup has been held in Aus
tralia. It is pointed out that r since
1907 there has been no real Competi
tion among the "champion nations," to
employ the phraseology of the Davis
cup regulations, inasmuch as America
is the only country that has sent a
team to the antipodes, owing to the
great distance and the amount of time
required to make the trip. It is re
called that so long as the cup was held
In England all the other nations sent
teams to battle for it
The same condition of affairs would
prevail if America were the holding
country. It is said that the European
nations were only waiting for the cup
to be brought back to America to chal
lenge for it almost in a body. Had the
New Zealand contest resulted different
ly the greatest lawn tennis" competition
in the world's history would have been
held here this year. Great Britain.
France and Germany were ready to
Bend teams, and Australia would al- j
most certainly have challenged, with
Brookes to captain her team, in the
endeavor to regain what she has come
to look upon as her own.
There uever has been a world's lawn
tenuis championship instituted, and
many people are disposed to conclude
that it is not feasible to hold one. The
principal tennis playing nations are lo
cated so near each other, with the ex
ception of Australia, that no insupera
ble difficulties exist, however. If Euro
pean players were ready to cross the
ocean in pursuit of the Davis cup they
would be even more ready to do so if
the prize were a real world's cham
pionship. As for American players,
there are probably half a dozen who
would view with favor the plan of
making a bid for titular honors. Many
Americans have contested for English
championship honors at Wimbledon in
the past, and several of the topnotch
ers of today have been quietly turning
over the project of having a try next
year for the English title.

memorials of this great and much
loved writer. Munsey's.

POTATO DEMAND
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
The potato market is showing an in
crease in strength and prices are be
ing fractionally advanced at country
points.
Demand from the southwest is still
unusually heavy and while growers
are now selling freely at the market,
the demand is even better than offer
ings. .
Middle west sections continue to
purchase heavily in Eastern Oregon
and Idaho. This is taking large sup
plies away from the coast markets,
but as the crops are unusually heavy
they are not likely to be missed.
Efforts are being made to enter the
Chicago market with Oregon potatoes
and with the lower freight rate re
cently announced it is believed that
quite a demand will come from there
unless values on the coast go too
high.
California is still shipping potatoes
to the Central West. A press report
from- Stockton says that dealers
there are predicting a $2.50 market
within thirty days. A tally of the
tubers on hand in the Stockton ware
houses showed 173,000 sacks. In ad
dition to this, George Shima and his
associates have 25,000 sacks. Brisk
demands are being made by Eastern
dealers for Stockton potatoes, and it
is expected that all of those who still
have, quantities on hand will reap a
iortuhe within the next few weeks.
The prices at Stockton range from
$1.40 to $1.85 a sack. Large quantities
are being resacked to be ready for
shipment at the height of the high
priced season, which it is believed will
prevail next month.
