(Rec. July 25.) Paris, July 24. Lacoste announces that the Frer.ch Davis Cup team will be: — Cochet, Borotra, Brugnon and Merlin. He adds that Borotra will pl'ay only in the doubles, partnered by Brugnon. "We have done everything to persuade Borotra to change his mind, blit I must admit that if I had been in his place I would have done the same." Lacoste says that the seleotion of the second singles player caused him a number of sleepless nights, but Merlin on his present form, is the best choice. , "I cannot say that France will keep the Cup, but we shall do our best." Lacoste appeals to the public to provide an atmosphere of fair play. This is apparently an allusion to the demonstrations in conneetion with the line decisions during Austin's 'match.
