MAKO DEFEATED IN TENNIS TEST
Bromwich’s Fine Driving
(Received December 16, 8.40 p.m.)
Sydney, December 16.
In the tennis test Australia v. America, the first singles matches resulted: J. H. Bromwich (Australia) beat C. G. Mako (America), 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. J. D. Budge (America) beat A. K. Quist (Australia), 4-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-0.
Mako came to the net at every opportunity but w-as repeatedly passed by Bromwich, whose corner and sideline drives were brilliant. Early in the second match Quist’s serves and forehand shots were too strong for Budge, who was hitting the tape or just missing the baseline. From 1-4 in the second set, however, the American found touch. Thereafter he was always in command and scored numerous placements with his sweeping backhand.
