INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IN AUSTRALIA

United Press Association—-By Electric Telegraph-Copyright (Received January 9, 6.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, January 9. There was a fine hot day and a crowd of 11,000 for the last day c f the international triangular tennis tournament at Kooyong. The results are: A. K. Quist 'Australia) defeated G. Mako (United States), 6-3, 7-5. G. von Cramm (Germany) defeated J. D. Budge (United States). 6-4, 8-10, 12-10. Quist and J. Bromwich (Australia: defeated von Cramm and H. Henkel (Germany), 6-2, 6-1. Quist and Mako both played splendid tennis at times, but it was not a great match. Mako showed better form than when he defeated Henkel on Thursday. Quist was the attacker but both went to the net whenever possible. The von Cramm v. Budg? match was a stirring, hard-hitting contest. Both were on their games, and both were evenly matched, play being up to championship standard. The match was the most outstanding example of tennis seen at Kooyong. The remarkable pace of Budge’s services was offset by the wonderful manner in which von Cramm returned. Von Cramm was able to deal adequately with all the stroke-making that Budge produced. The doubles also was a worthy battle. The Australians combined well, Quist profiting by many openings made by Bromwich. Quist concentrated on Henkel, who was the weaker man. The Germans were overshadowed by the Australian pair, who are developing into a Davis Cup combination.
