Doubles.—Kalms arid Willard beat Higgs and Collins; 7—5, 6—4, I—6, 5—7, '6—4, The weather was windy and cold. The best niatch was between Hopman and the British captain Gregory.' The latter’s smashing and volleying were forceful and clever. He made the game fast. Austin had an off clay and lacked vim. He is needing a spell.
