WALES BEATEN
NEW ZEALAND'S SUCCESS
The lawn tennis season on. grass courts is practically over for this year, wrote "The Post's" London correspond-' ent on September 12.
New Zealand, represented by A. D. Brown and D. C. Coombe,-beat Wales at Prestatyn on September 10 by three matches to none. In the singles Brown beat G L. Tuckett, 6-3, 6-4, thus reversing the result of their meeting in the semi-final of the Gla^ morganshire championships last May, when Tuckett won by the same score.
Coombe, in beating E. A. Barlow, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2, gave an attractive exhibition of the game. Barlow made many mistakes in trying to force the pace. * The doubles match, in which the New Zealand pair beat Tuckett and J. Ellis Evans, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, contained much forcing play, with many crisp exchanges of volleys close in.
