■ NEW ZEALAND PLAYERS IN GERMANY. INTERNATIOAL CLUB MATCHES. (from Otm OWN COEBEapONDEirr.) LONDON, September 5. Mr E. D. Andrews, the New Zealand tennis player, was one of a party of Empire players who visited Berlin last week. These members of the International Club had gone to the Gorman capital, as they had gone to Paris earlier in the summer, mainly to further the cause of international amity, and the British Ambassador, although nominally on holiday, Tecognised that fact by attending the matches on both days, and also the official dinner given by tho Germans at the Hotel Adlon. The contest itself was peculiarly attractive (writes Mr A. Wallis Myers, of the "Daily Telegraph"), for in addition to H. W. Austin and Commander P. F. Glover, of England, E. D. Andrews, of New Zealand, and Dr. P. D. B. Spence, of South Africa, were pitted against the leading German players. This British Empire team found perfect weather, a beautiful match surface of brown sand, and organisation com-; p'.ete in every detail —even the luncheon tables flew the • grey and pink colours of the International Club. Six matches were scheduled for each day, and after the first the visitors had gained an encouraging lead. They won three singles by a heartening display of firm control in a crisis. Austin's defeat of Landman after a great match was particularly gratifying, since the German had beaten him in the Davis Cup contest at Queen's Club in the spring. The young Englishman had to reduce an ominous lead. Andrews's Victory. Andrews was in capital form against Prenn. In a hot duel, in which both men attacked freoly, the New Zealander won in two sets. In the first Prenn's back-hand drive was loose, while he missed several smashes in the second set. Prenn recovered. his composure. It must be remembered that this was his first meeting with Andrews. The German forced a 5-3 lead, only to find the young NeW Zealander coolly reducing it by very resourceful play, his volleying reaching a high level and his speed about the court never relaxing. Dr. Spence, having arrived by aeroplane only the previous night, was not at his best against Zander, a young German with excellent driving equipment. Four-all was called in the final set when Spence—inspired by the momory o£ his volleyer's victory over Froitzheim on the same ground four years earlier after Froitzheim had two match balls —sprinted up to the net and tucked away enough winners to get home in the tenth game. Dr. Kleinscroth, belying his forty years, was responsible for the two German successes. He beat Glover in the singles after a close contest, and, with Prenn, defeated Spence and Glover in a match in which the familiar combination always held an advantage. At the close of the second day's play the British team had won the contest by six matches to five, with one match unfinished in England's favour. Austin again did well, and, keeping his best effort for the final sot, which he won to love, beat Prenn. in a stubborn engagement. The Germans offered a stern resistance in the remaining matches. Sponce only got home against Kleinscroth after a long struggle, the older man winning the second set and coming within a point of the first. Andrews was rather disappointing against Landman, and, feeling the heat, his strokes lacked their intensive speed of the day before. Moreover, Landman, except in the second set, showed beautiful control at the back of the court, and his passing shots in the first and third sets were too good for the New Zealander. Glover was beaten in two sets by Zander, and young Germany gained another victory when Zander and Eichner beat Spence and Glover. Eichner's service was as hard as any man's in the whole match. Finally, in the failing light, Andrews and Austin won the first set at 6-1 against Prenn and Kleinscroth. Darkness then inter- 1 vened. Eesults: — Singles. H. Kleinscroth (G.) beat Comdr. P. F.
