Davis Cup outlook and match prep across oceans
Sporting comment notes anxiety over the Davis International Lawn Tennis Cup leaving England as July challenge matches loom. It weighs which side, Australia or the United States, may win, with English hopes dampened by Doherty’s absence and strong United States or Australian contenders. The piece also surveys fighters Jeffries and Joe Walcott training quirks, plus a baseball tactic misattributed to a Gotham critic and a history of Baltimore’s aggressive plays. It closes with Squires and Burns posting $5,000 forfeits for a July Fourth bout in Colma.
