REPLY TO CRITICISM BY PAILS
SAN FRANCISCO. October 2. Mr Roy Cowling, manager of the Australian Davis Cup team, to-day described Dinny Pails’s allegations about quarrels and ill-feeling in the team as “impulsive, ill-considered, inaccurate, and exaggerated.” Mr Cowling said: • “Every member of the team did his best to regain the Davis Cup. I cannot recall any particular virtue in Pails which would compel me to give more than passing notice of his impulsive, ill-considered words. Pails’s remarks about Bromwich and Brown refusing to attend social functions mystify me. I do not for the life of me see what all that has to do with preparations for Davis Cup matches. Not once did I have to ’kid’ anybody into attending official functions, as Pails asserts, when I, as manager, told the team to do so. “Of course. I admit that when a team, of healthy men travel together for nearly six months there are bound to be disagreements, but these never interfered with the efficiency of the team.” Bromwich and Brown, when ap- ' proached, said that they could make po statement about Pails’s allegations.
