Received July 26, 10.35 am.

NEW YORK, July 19.

There is a strong "feeling in tennis circles that 181-ookes" and ‘l?att-erson,' Lycett and Thomas, who ‘sail "f:fon1" England on the '26th} ‘to participate in the American national‘ doubles, will be able to make an excellent showing. ‘Some experts even go"’so far as to predict the Australians will sweepthe field clean. It Is believed Thomas and I Lycett, who have been" doing phenomenal work in European courts, will show better results than Brookes and Patterson, although Patterson is eon- ’ sidered the best single player in Aus-tralia,-*{‘Amlerican tennis players place ‘ hopes ‘in Murray, Jilden, Johnston and Williams, who are now hard at work _ preparing to ‘meet the ~vAus-tralian champions. It is hoped McLaughlin ' and Bundy,. who won the recent Pacifi fic Coast sectional’ doubles, will also participate in the championship games.
