LAWN TENNIS
DAVIS CUP “POSSIBLES." SYDNEY, October 9. The “Daily Telegraph,” reviewing the Davis Cuy possibilities, says that Brookes and Patterson are certainties. Audercop previously seemed New South Wales’s only possibility; but his form now seemed to preclude him. Ollivier was a remote possibility. Brookes had requested that he should play in the Victorian championships, but this was regarded as a ‘ sop” to Now Zealand opinion. Victoria was likely tp supply all the personnel. O’Hara Wood and the youthful Jack Hawkes are favoured. The latter has twice decisively defeated Brookes, and with his brother beat Brookes and Wood in the doubles. AMERICA "LOSES WILLIAMS.
