TEST MATCH PERRY AGAIN BEATS CRAWFORD Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, ADELAIDE, February 3. In the tournament the present position is that Australia has won Jive rubbers and 13 sets to Britain s tbice rubbers and 10 sets. There were 6,000 spectators at today’s matches, and hundreds wore unable to gain admittance. In the singles Hopman heat Wilde, 6-3, 6-3; Turnbull beat Hughes, 8-6, 4-6* 6-3; and Perry beat Crawford 6-4, 6-2. in the doubles Turnbull and Quist bent Lee and N\ ilcle, 8-0, 6-4, 4-6, 7-9, 6-2. There was much discussion on Hopman’s non-inclusion in the Davis Cup team. Crawford said Hopman was unfortunately overlooked. It is evident he is anxious to demonstrate in Adelaide that at least he is the equal of Turnhull and Quist. He is playing in the fifth test at Perth. Hopman accounted for Wildo in straight sets. Uopman’s play was characterised by marvellous speed and netcord shots, and he mixed his driving disconcertingly. His fast service was Wilde’s main feature. Perry dominated the play all through with Crawford. The latter was scratching. Turnbull showed a vast superiority over Hughes. The South Australian drove with confidence, and his serving was more accurate than on the previous day. Partnered with Quist, he was again attractive. Quist’s volleying was spectacular. They outplayed the Englishmen throughout.
