TENNIS TEST
AUSTRALIA V. U.S.A. AMERICANS WIN THREE SINGLES DOUBLES UNFINISHED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.55 p.m.) Brisbane, November 24. The first tennis test match between Australia and the United States was commenced to-day. Australia made a bad start, losing all three singles. Play throughout was of a high order, the Americans showing better form all round. The Allison—Moon match provided many thrills with Moon in the early stages playing well. Later, however, he faded away and fought little in the second set. McGrath gave the Australian supporters heart by taking a set from van Ryn, but the American was too severe in the third set. The Gledhill-Sproule match was more notable for accuracy than for brilliancy. When the light caused an adjournment in the doubles the Australians were definitely on top with Sproule outstanding. Vines at times revealed great speed, but generally he seemed to be reserving himself. Following are the results of to-day’s play:— SINGLES. Gledhill (America) beat Sproule (Australia) 6 —4, 6 —4. Allison (America) beat Moon (Australia) 12—10, 6—l. Van Ryn (America) beat McGrath (Australia) 6—3, 5—7, 6—3. DOUBLES. Vines and Gledhill (America) v. Moon and Sproule (Australia) 6 —4, I—6, 5 —5. The game was unfinished.
