AUSTRALIANS' COMMENT
Australian Press ■ Association. NEW YORK, 11th Sept. The Australian players advanced two reasons for tho character of their play during the recent American tournaments. Cummings informed tho Australian Press Association representatives that the question of climate and character of the courts had' strongly influenced their game. He said: "Wo have been here only a few short weeks and we have not yet had time to catch on to our game. The climate and the courts would not troublo us after several months of tournaments. I would like to return next year and participate in American matches." Hopman felt that tho bad decisions of the American umpires negatived the best points of their play. He said: "I know it is silly to let the umpire's bad rulings or failure to rule on close shots put you out, but I know it shakes my game up badly." Crawford said that his match with Gorchakoff had been mado doubly difficult for himself and his opponent by inaccurate or inefficient umpiring. The Australians sail by the Sononio on 27th September.
