TENNIS TEST
AUSTRALIA V. AMERICA BROMWICH DEFEATS MAKO [United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright] SYDNEY, 16th December. In the tennis test Australia v. America, the first singles matches resulted: J. H. Bromwich (Australia) beat C. G. Mako (America), 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. . D. Budge (America) beat A. K. Quist (Australia), 4-6, 7-6, 6-1, 6-0. Mako came to the net at every opportunity but was repeatedly passed by Bromwich, whose corner and sideline drives were brilliant. Early in the second match Quist’s serves and forehand shots were too strong for Budge, who was hittius the tape or just missing the baseline. From 1-4 in the second set, however, the American found touch. Thereafter he was always in command and scored numerous placements with his sweeping backhand.
