TENNIS IN AMERICA
RAIN INTERRUPTS PLAY CRITICISM OF AUSTRALIANS (Received August 21, p.m.) BOSTOX, August 20 Heavy rain fell throughout to-day, making the playing of the final of the American doubles championship to-morrow problematical. Harry Hopman, manager of the Australian team, is amused over the published statement of Mercer Beasley, the noted American coach, that "America will win the Davis Cup through the use of brains over brawn." !he Associated Press writer said:—"Well, our boys are not so big, are they? The statements made about the Australians are hardly fair. Bromwich is one of the smartest men on the court I have ever seen. Quist, too, is smart. If this tournament is an examine of the American brand, it does not shov up too well. The tactics of the home players have not been good, as results show."
