(Received July 20, at 12.10 p.m.) Windsor Lad’s victory was obtained in his final race before going to the stud, for which he is booked up lor many years at a fee of £4OO. He won £38,000 in stake money, and ins value is estimated at £BO,OOO. LAWN TENNIS AUSTRALIA V. ENGLAND Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright LONDON, July 19. (Received July 20, at 10 a.m.) In the three-day match at Eastbourne between England and Australia, Quist and Turnbull in the doubles defeated Hughes and Tuckey 3-6, 6-3, 8-6, 6-f. Turnbull was the best of the rout. He served and smashed with savage accuracy. The Australians generally were superior in volleying and smashing. Tuckey, England’s new Davis Cup recruit, is playing much better witli experience, Hs is serving powerfully and his ground strokes have improved. A FINANCIAL SUCCESS LONDON, July 19. (Received July 20, at 10 a.m.) Harry Hopraan, writing in the ‘ Sun ’ on tennis subjects says: The Australians’ tour has been a financial success. The profits, without Eastbourne, where most of the seats were sold, should approach £2,000. Tne New Zealand tie yielded £IOO, the French £2,500, and the German £9OO. CRAWFORD'S VICTORY LONDON, July 19.. Mr Wallis Myers, in the ‘ Daily Telegraph,’ writes: “ Eastbourne form does not mean that Perry will play the same at Wimbledon, where he has previously produced centre court regenerations. The best Perry emerges on the right day. Nevertheless, Crawford staged a game which even the best Perry would find difficulty in subduing. It was the Crawford of our dreams,” NEW ZEALAND TDUR DF ENGLISH CRICKETERS [P»* United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, July 20 According to a statement to-day by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council, Mr Winsor. negotiations for the coming tour of the M.C.C. team are well in train. The itinerary is on the point of completion after being held up owing to the necessity of obtaining racing dates so as to prevent any clash in the fixtures. The details will be published shortly. The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the tour of Gilligan’s team in 1929-30, and if desirable two more matches can bo played. The team arrives her© in the middle of December. Mr Winsor emphasised the point that there would be no “ test ” matches, though there would be matches between the' M.C.O. team and a, New Zealand team. , In. the 1936-37 season New Zealand would probably be visited by an Indian team under the control of Duleepsinhji. This tour was practically assured. In the same season the English test team would make a short visit to New Zealand at the end of its Ausralian tour, so the New Zealand public would sec two overseas sides in the same season.
