Rico is a passepgpr. by the Qtwav. He says that while the Americans deserved their success in tlie Davis Cup the defeat of the Australians was chiefly , due to courts, which were Very soft and heavy. The general opinion i‘s that the fixtures were made too early in the season. The Australians had to play with spikes in their shoes, and it was next to impossible to play a parsing game, on which so much relied, while the soft turf favored the volleying so characteristic of the Americans. Jones’s illness wris also a piece of bad luck.,Rice is confident that they would have brought back the Cup if Brookes had been a member of . the team.
