VISITORS WIN SINGLES

(Austialian Press Association)

BRISBANE, November 24. In the tennis test match to-day, the singles results were : Giedhill (U.S.A.). heat Sproulel 6/4, 6/4; Allison (U.S.A.) beat Moon 12/10, J/l; V r an Ryu (U.S.A.) beat McGrath G/3, 5/7, 6/3 ' ’

In the doubles, Vines and Giedhill versus Moon and Sproule, the scores were: 6/4, 1/6,' 5/5. The game is not finished.

Australia: made a bad start in losing all three singles on the opening day. The play throughout was of a high order, with the Americans showing the better fora all round. The Allison-Moon match provided many trills, with Moon in the early stages playing well. Later, however, he fad. ed away, and he fought little in the second set, ~

McGrath gave the Australian sup* porters heart by taking a set from Van Ryn, but the American was too severe in the third set.

The Gledhill-Sproule match was more notable for accuracy than for brilliancy. -

When the light caused the adjournment in the doubles the Americans were definitely on top, with Sproule outstanding. Vines, at times, revealed great speed, but generally he seemed to be reserving himself.
