NEVER TENNIS STARS
TWO-HANDED PLAYERS TOO MUCH TIME LOST (Per Pross Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. That a tennis player who uses two hands to make a stroke will never rise to No. 1 world rank was the opinion expressed to-day by Mr. G. Patterson, the well-known authority on tennis, who is a through passenger on the Aorangi, accompanied by his wife and child. He said that too much time was taken in making such a stroke and the game was too fast to permit that loss of time. The style of a freak player tended to be cramped. ' Discussing the Davis Cup contests, he said that America unquestionably was superior to Australia. Quist, lie thought, was the best in Australia now. Crawford had been played far too much. A Sydney lad, aged 16, named Gilchrist, was thought to have a tennis future, and he predicted that more would be heard of him.
