DAVIS CUP CONTEST. AUSTRALIA v. NEW ZEALAND. United Presß Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 12. Wanting practice to-day, and in the absence of the groundsman, the Australian and New Zealand ©avis Cup teams worked half an hour removing the canvas coverings from the courts at Eastbourne. The New Zealanders keenly watched the Australian doubles practice. The New Zealanders also but a bitterly cold wind' handicapped the players. Wallis Myers, writing in the "Daily Telegraph," commenting on the singles played yesterday, says it cannot be said tliat either match quickened the pulse or called for sustained" applause. Gusty winds affected the accuracy of the players. Maybe Australia and New Zealand, formerly successful allies in the Davis Cup, are too closely related for either to feel anxious to get at each other's throats.
