TENNIS
WORLD’S BEST PLAYERS
(Eloc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) SYDNEY, Oct. 14.
The opinion that Vines, who will lead the United States tennis team due at Sydney on November 5, was the finest tennis player in tho world, was expressed by Mr Norman Brookes on bis return to Sydney yesterday from a health trip to Honolulu, where lie completed arrangements concerning the visiting team’s itinerary.
It was unfair, said Mr Brookes, for the English critic, Wallis Myers, to have placed Crawford tenth in the world’s best players. 110 would certainly place him fourth or fifth. Borotra, to whom he was definitely superior, for example, had been 'placed above him by Myers. Crawford, of course, would rank -higher when- playing in Australia than when playing abroad. That was why be would give Crawford a fighting chance of defeating Vines. . -
