A feature of. tho day’s play was Ilopman’s form. Finding McGrath out of touch in the doubles llopman took everything upon himself. Volleying and smashing magniflclently he had the great American pair always extended. In the singles also llopman played brilliantly, though he was beaten by the more severe and consistent Allison.
