DAVIS CUP MATCH
NO INSPIRING TENNIS GUSTY WIND AFFECTS PLAY ' I/' * '• '. / .R . TEAMS AT PRACTICE (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, May 12. Wanting practice to-day and in the absence of the groundsman, the Australian and New Zealand teams waited for half an hour before removing the canvas coverings from the Davis Cup courts at Eastbourne? The New Zealanders keenly watched the Australian doubles pair, at practice. The New Zealanders also practised, but a bitterly cold wind handicapped the players. Mr Wallis Myers, commenting on yesterday’s singles in the Daily Telegraph, says: “It canriot be said that either match quickened the pulse or called for sustained applause. The gusty wind affected all the players’ accuracy. Maybe Australia and New Zealand, who formerly have been successful allies in the Davis Cup, are too closely related for either to feel anxious to get at each other’s throats.” CHINA ELIMINATED AMERICANS WIN ALL MATCHES. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Mexico City, May 12. Further matches in the Davis Cup contest between America and China resulted as follows: Budge (America) defeated Cheng (China), 6—4, 6—2, 6—l; Grant (America) defeated Kho (China), 6—l, 6—4, 6—3.
