DAVIS CUP
FRENCH CHANCES DISCUSSED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 24, 12.30 a.m.) PARIS, June 23. "My boys are going to have a tough time, and I am under no illusions,” said Mr Bernon Prentice, manager of the American Davis Cup team, which has arrived at Cherbourg. His opinion is that Britain, Australia, America and France all have practically an equal chance of winning the Cup. The American team against the winners of the Anglo-Australian match will probably be Vines and Allison in the singles and Lott and Van Ryn in the doubles.
Mr Prentice added that it was unwise to attach overmuch importance to Henri Cochet’s defeat by J. B. Crawford. The French team is still formidable.
