(United Press Association.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, 4th February.
The members; of the New South Wales tennis team on their return fronrNew Zealand by the Niagara tell of the splendid hospitality extended to the team by the Dominion tennis players. Mr. F. Peach (captain) speaks highly of several of the younger New Zealanders, especially C. E. Malfroy. Others who impressed the team were E. D. Andrews, N. B. G. Wilson, N. G Sturt, I. A. Seay, J. Knott. Mr. Peach regards the Maoris as a force that will have to be reckoned with before long. He says they have remarkably keen eyesight, are quick' as lightning about the courts, and also possess-quite a range of natural strokes and are eager to copy the styles- of the different players they get a chance to see. "Given proper tuition, the Maoris should produce players equal to our best." was Mr. Peach'a final comment. Mr. Peach has visited New Zealand three times and has noticed a marked improvement in. the standard of play in the Dominion, on each occasion.
