The only serious contender in such a cutest would bto England. In the British Isles lawn tennis has long been a faorite form of amusement amuse-ment with women. It Is donl.ted. however, whether England could put out such a team aa Qould be organized in the United States without much difficulty. Tho central figure In America's International women's team would be Miss Marie Warner, regarded by many as the strongest tennis player !n the world. MisB Mary Browne, the national tennis champion would be another an-other strong player to be counied on land Miss Dorothy Greene of Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, who was defeated In the national tournament by Miss Browno last year would be a third player almost certain of gaining a place on an nil-American j women's tennis team. AH that would i be required to start such a series of I contests between the women of all na l tlons would be for some person to ' put up a trophy similar to the Davis trophy to be ployed for each year. A I Htron argument In favor of lnterna-I lnterna-I tional tennis contests for women is the tact thai women have been grant-I grant-I ed permission to compote in certain ; branches of the Olympic games. Another An-other is that women have for more time than men to practice for such strenuous meets and usually have more time to make long journles to foreign countries than men players would have. Miss Wagner Is enthusl aatlc over the Idea and is confident that it will not be many years before a women's International tournament Is arranged. oo YESTERDAY'S GAMES NATIONAL LEAGUE.
