LONDON, April 30.
In the Davis Cup doubles, A, C. Stedman and C. E. Malfroy (New Zealand) beat Kho Sin Kie and Tsui Wai Pui (China), G-3, 6-8, 6-3, 6-2.
Kio's brilliance did not compensate for the weakness of his partner, who was outclassed, despite a vigorous service with which he scored an occasional ace. The New Zealanders continued to pound their weaker opponent. ■ :
The. Chinese fought strongly in the second set, levelling the score at 5-5 from 3-5. . New • Zealand drew ahead 6-5, but lost the next two games owing to Malfroy becoming erratic. Volleying by the Chinese clinched the set. ,
The New Zealanders rallied in : the third set, and broke through Pui's service for. a lead, which was steadily increased. They continued to force the' pace, catching their opponents' out of position., Malfroy's smashes were conspicuous. • ' :, ■■;'■■'■■
