STARS AT SYDNEY
TRIANGULAR CONTESTS
MELBOURNE. January 9.
The weather was fine and hot and there was a crowd of 11,000 for toe last day of the international triangular tennis contests at Kooyong.
A. K. Quist (Australia) beat C. G. Mako (U.S.A.), 6-3, 7-5. G. Cramm (Germany) beat J. D. Budge (U.S.A.), 6-4, 8-10, 12-10. A. K. Quist and J. Bromwich (Australia) beat G. Cramm and H. Henkel (Germany), 6-2, 6-1. Quist and Mako played splendid tennis at times, but it was not a great match. Mako showed better form than when he defeated Henkel on Thursday. Quist was the attacker, but both went to the net whenever possible.
The Cramm v. Budge match was a stirring, hard-hitting contest. Both were on their game and. were evenly matched, play being up to championship standard. It was the most outstanding example of tennis seen at Kooyong. The remarkable pace of Budge's services was offset by the "wonderful manner in which Cramm returned. Cramm was able to deal adequately with all the stroke-making that Budge produced. •
The doubles were also a worthy battle. The Australians combined well, Quist profiting by many openings made by Bromwich. Quist concentrated on' Henkel, who was the weaker man on Saturday. The Germans were overshadowed by the Australian pair, who are developingfanto a Davis Cup combination.
