LAWN TENNIS
TEST IN AUSTRALIA '. AMERICANS TOO STRONG (Received 13th January, ioon.) •■ ■ SYDNEY, This Day. Results of the final tennis Test between Australia and the American visiting team are as follows:— ; McGrath beat Gledhill, 6-2, 6--1 Allison beat Hopman, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Quist beat Van Ryn, 7-5, 6-3; Vines and Gledhill beat Crawford and Hopman, 5-7, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. ; There was a poor attendance. In their matches against McGrath and Quist, Gledhill and Van Ryu respectively gave very indifferent displays. They did not exert themselves in the slightest de-, gree, and conveyed the impression that they had had too much tennis and for the time being had lost interest." Allison was also lethargic in opposing Hopman until when the Australian was leading 6-3, 3-0. Allison then exerted himself, and with Hopman falling away won an uninteresting match. The doubles game, however, was a thrilling struggle, and Crawford gave the best display for years. Hopman was out of touch, and the Americans' team work triumphed in the end. Gledhill was a dynamic force in the last three sets, volleying, smashing, and driving to great effect.
