PROFESSIONAL PROMOTERS

PREDICT

Baseball Will Ultimately Oust Cricket As A Major Australian Spectator Sport

Sydney, Mar. 1.

Professional promoters believe that baseball will ultimately oust cricket as a major spectator sport "Down Under."

Tennis adherents have made similar claims and they have got good grounds for so doing. Australia's three-year grip on the Davis Cup has raised interest in tennis to amazing heights,

It appears that the secret behind the success of baseimil and tennis is that their non- stop speed, action and spectacle is in the with the sharpening of modern Australian tempo life.

SWEDES AGAIN HOPE TO SURPRISE TENNIS WORLD

New York, Mar. 14

In 1951 Sweden believed it might be able to surprise America and Australia in the Davis Cup and many experts agreed with that appraisal, but Sweden suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat in the Inter-Zone Finals at the hands of

Now, in 1954, Sweden has hopes again and its star player, Sven Davidsson, is cautiously admitting that Sweden must be considered. Aghin the experts" ngree,
