AMERICA BEATS CHINA

Davis Cup Match Victory

New York, May 12.

In the Davis Cup match between the United States and China at Mexico City yesterday, Budge and Mako defeated Sin Kie Kho and Guy Cheng, 7-5, 0-2, 0-1. In the Anal day’s singles in the Davis Cup tennis match, Budge defeated Guy Cheng, 0-4, 6-2, 6-1. and Bryan M. Grant defeated Sin Kie Kho, 0-1, 6-4, 6-3. The United States won both singles on the first day, and the doubles win gave them victory. TEAMS AT PRACTICE Australia and New Zealand London, May I£. When they wanted practice to-day, the Australian and New Zealand tennis teams, in the absence of the groundsman, worked half an hour removing the canvas coverings from the Davis Cup courts at Eastbourne. The New Zealanders keenly watched the Australians at doubles practice. They also practised, but a bitterly cold wind handicapped the players. Mr. Wallis Myers, commenting in the “Daily Telegraph’’ on yesterday’s singles, says: “It cannot be said that either match quickened the pulse or called for sustained applause. A gusty wind affected the accuracy of all the players. Maybe Australia and New Zealand, who were formerly successful allies in the Davis Cup competition, are too closely related either to feel anxious or to get at each other’s throats." MISS HARTIGAN BEATEN London, May 12. At the Harrogate tennis tournament, in the final of the women's singles. Miss J. C. Ridley defeated Miss Joan Ilartigan (Australia), 6-2, 6-3.
