Preparations are being made now for the next contest for the Davis Cup, held by America. This picture shows the cup at a time when Britain had the might of F. J. Perry (left) and H. W. Austin (centre). Mr. Roper Barrett is seen handing the cup to the two representatives. America to-day is approaching a season without J. D. Budge, who has turned professional, in much the same way as Britain faced prospects when F. J. Perry was lost to the amateur ranks of tennis. Will America’s experience be that of Britain’s?—loss of the cup! Australia has great hope that with Budge out of the road the cup will come to the Southern Pacific.
