LAWN TENNIS

THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PHILADELPHIA, Alay 27. Vincent Richards to-day practised with the Australians. He teamed with AUGrath against Crawford and Quist. Play was sharp all round, and observers expressed the opinion that the Australian pair would be dangerous against any doubles combination in international lawn tennis. Both tho American and tho Australian teams used the centre courts at the Germantown Cricket Club, where i lie finals will be played.

Blomfiold had been selected caused general satisfaction. The New Zealander, from In's experience at Home as well as in Australia and America, is well able to cope with any opposition he can be asked to face, and lie is now firmly established as a man who can be relied upon to give a high-class display which will appeal to the crowd. Though he is slightly .bigger than Boesch, he is also extremely fast, and there are few points' of the wrestling sport that he has not mastered. When Boesch enters the ring he does so with the determination to live up to his record as the world’s most spectacular wrestler, and also, of course, to win as convincingly as ho can. The result is invariably an exhilarating match, in which he moves at a fast clip, which never slackens, and in which ho is always liable to pounce on the opportunities resulting from his fast, worrying tactics. Whether using In's drop-kick, his special short-arm scissors twist, or any other moves, Boesch is always a magnetic figure in the ring, and excitement had never previously reached the peak to which ho roused it when he made his first appearanee here. Reservations for this contest may be made at the D.I.C.
