AUSTRALIA v. NEW ZEALAND United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright LONDON, May 12. Wanting practice to-day, and in the absence of the goundsman, the Australian and New Zealand Davis Cup teams worked for half an hour removing the canvas coverings from the courts at Eastbourne. The New Zealanders keenly watched the Australian pair at doubles practice. The New Zealanders also practised but a bitterly cold wind handicapped the players. The tennis critic, Wallis Myers, writing in the “Daily Telegraph,” commenting on yesterday's singles, says: “It cannot be said that either match quickened the pulse or called for sustained applause. A gusty wind affected all the players’ accuracy. Maybe Australia and New Zealand, who were formerly successful allies in Davis Cup matches, are too closely related for either to feel anxious to get at each other’s throats.”
