Australian Doubles Victory (Received 20, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 19. At the Eastbourne tennis tournament between England and Australia, tho doubles match was won by A. K. Quist and D. P. Turnbull (Australia), who defeated G. P. Hughes and C. R. Tuckey (Britain), 3~6, 6—-3, B—6, 6 —4. Turnbull was the best of ths four. Ho served and smashed with savage accuracy. The Australians generally were superior in volleying and siutultug. Tuckey, England’s new Davis Cup recruit, is playing much better with experience. He is serving powerfully, and his ground strokes have improved. Harry Hopman, writing In tbo “Sun” on tennis subjects, says tho Australians’ tour has been a financial success. The profits without Eastbourne, where most seats were sold, should approach £2OOO. The New Zealand tie yielded £lOO, the French £2500 and the German £9OO.
