Checker Editor Tribune: Mr. John Howe's selection of th be?t ten players to contend In another match with Great Brit a lu is interesting, but wo oa n ha rd I y a tjre r sv 1 1 h him t h at h i b selection is the best. If placed "in condition" through three or four months drilling, we would select, in order: A . J. Hef frier. Alfred .lorda n, N. V. Banks, Charles Hcfier, M. Pomeroy, Huh Henderson. L. G. Ginsberg, Gins-berg, Ih l.leberman. John Horr, 1-Scliaefer; 1-Scliaefer; substitutes, Reynoldn, Hill, Head, O'Grady and llaliiron. We believe tho above would srive ihe beat possible results for our side, and, no doubt, would give- a far better showing than the last match, which seemed almost al-most farcical when the tally sheets were posted. Tt is exceedingly doubtful if len play, ers could be selected who would come out of the "emergency" with whole hides, as the canny Scotch would more than make up any deficiency in play of tlie iMinlish contingent, and wallop the fihove, as a whole, in veal, sportsmanlike fashion.
