London,- June 14. At the Beckenham tournament, in tho finals, Kingscote defeated Crisp, 7—5, 2—6, 3—6, 6—2, 6—2. Wilding and Brookes defeated Gore and Roper Barrett, 6—2, 6—l. The Australasians’ passing shots gave Barrett no chance to show his brilliancy at the nets. Brookes’ backhand was exceptionally good, and Wilding drove with great power. (Received 9.25 a.m.) Wilding states that Crisp is without style, and is an ugly player, but is extremely fast, with a good first service, which, however, is very uncertain, while he has a good forehand drive. Parke’s recent defeats were due to a complete loss of' confidence. Wilding considers Kingscote has been overrated.
