TENNIS IN AMERICA

AUSTRALIANS STILL SHINE (United P.A. — By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Pres 3 Association) (United Service) Reed. 9.5 a.m. NEW YORK, Tues. At the Brookline lawn tennis tournament, in the first round of the doubles, Borotra and Buzelet (France) defeated Higgs and Collins (England), 4 6, 4—6, 6—3, 12 —10, 6—4; Lott and Hennessy (America) defeated Hyde and Wilder (America), 6 —2, 6 —2, 6 —4. Austin and Gregory (England) defeated Seller and Sewbrown (Pacific Coast champions), o—6,0 —6, I—6, 6 —3, 6—4, 6—4. Lott and Hennessy advanced to the third round of the doubles, defeating Tapia an<s Unba (Mexico), 6—o, 6—2, 6 — 2. Van Ryn and Allison defeated William Adydelott and P. G, Rockafellow ( 6 3 f 6 — 4, 6 —2; W. W. Ingraham and A. W. Jones defeated Carl Kammam and Charles Barnes, 6— 3, 6 —l, 6—2. Cummings and Moon (Australia) defeated Borotra and Rene de Buzelet (France), 6—2, 6 —4, € —4. Cochet and Brugnon (France) defeated Austin and Gregory (England), 6—4, 7—5, —5. Hopman and Crawford defeated Wright and Crocker, 6 —l, 6—o, 6—4; Paterson and Hawkes defeated Doeg and Coen, 6 —4, B—6, 6 4. W. R. Williams and Watson Washburn defeated Fred and Don Dixon (intermountain champions), 6—l, 6—2, 4 —6, 6 —3. The victory of Cummings and Moon over the Frenchmen is considered here to be a startling upset. particularly since Borotra and De Buzelet yesterday defeated Higgs and Collins, the English pair. The Frenchmen were erratic, and although occasionally playing dashing tennis they were ununable to cope with the steady, vigorous attack of the Australians. Crawford and Hop man’s victory over Crocker and Wright was easily won. the few games which the Canadians took being gained principally upon the Australians' errors. It was a onesided match, the score accurately rel fleeting the Australians’ overwhelming superiority, both overhead and at the net. Miss Wills and Hawkes defeated Makjorie Gladman and Boussus in the mixed doubles. G —2 G—3.
