TENNIS IN ENGLAND. PLAYER'S NEW METHODS. LONDON, April 13. Mr. A. Wallis Myers, in describing the final Davis Cup trial match between Austin and Perry, says he thinks Perry is England's greatest lawn tennis star. This former world champion at pir.gpong has found a way to exploit the miniature game's strokes on the tennis court, and he promises to revolutionise lawn tennis.

Perry discards defensive methods and hits the rising ball so early that his drives have the time-saving virtue of half volleys. ' At his best he is m<>re daring than Cochet, and occasionally he made Tjlden's type of game seam comparatively dull and stereotyped. " Perry would have defeated Austin on | a faster surface. Mr. Myers believaa , that Perry and Austin should be able j I to bring back the Davis Cup to England. |
