Harry Hopman. writing for the “Sun” on tennis subjects, says.the Australisns' tour "will be a financial success. The profits, with the Eastbourne match in progress, where most of the seats were sold, should approach £2OOO. The New Zealand Davis Cup tie yielded £IOO, the French £2,500 and the German £9OO. In the match between Australia and England, Quist and Turnbull today beat Hughes and Tuckey, 3—6, 6—3, B—6, 6—4. Turnbull was the best of the four He served and smashed with savage accuracy. The Australians generally were superior in volleying and smashing. Tuckey, England's new Davis Cup recruit, is playing much better with experience. He is serving powerfully, and his ground strokes have improved.
