AUSTRALIANS v. AMERICA. Received Sept. 13, 10.45 a.m. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The Davis Cup doubles were played in perfect sunny weather, the* only handicap being a strong cross-court wind. There was a large attendance. Johnston, serving, won the first game and Wood the second. Tilden won the third and Patterson won the fourth 5 —3. He was winning 3—o in this game, when he double faulted to deuce. Patterson was deadly overhead, earning many points by killing twice, permitting the Americans to get Johnston’s defensive lobs. He was weak liowevei* on ground strokes, and this resulted in numerous errors. The gardes alternated with the service until the score was four all.
