DAVIS CUP TENNIS
Eastbourne Practice Gaines
(Received 13, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 12. Wanting practice to-day, and in the absence pt the groundsman, the Australian and New Zealand teams worked for half qn hour removing the canvas coverings from the Davis Cup courts at Eastbourne. The New Zealanders keenly watched the Australian doubles practice. The New Zealanders also practised, but a bitterly cold wind handicapped the players. Wallis Myers, in the “Daily Telegraph,” commenting on yesterday’s singles, says: “It cannot be said that either match quickened the pulse or called for sustained applause. The gusty wind affected all the players’ accuracy. Maybe Australia and New Zealand, formerly successful allies in the Davis Cup, are too closely related for either to feel anxious to get at each other’s throats.”
