PATTERSON’S DEFEAT OF
BROOKES
OPPOSITION COMPLETELY SMOTHERED.
(Received Dec. 1. 7.10 p.m.) MELBOURNE, Dec. 1. Commenting on Patterson’s defeat of Brookes, critics refer to his paralysing pace and his unbridled hitting by a succession of smashing strokes of compelling force, which completely smothered the opposition, with the exception of the second set, when Brookes showed a glimpse of his 1914 form and proved himself a supreme genius of tactical ingenuity and all that makes for artistry in tennis. —United Press Association.
