ENGLAND V. N.Z. TEST MATCH. MALFROY AND FRANCE WIN. CHRISTCHURCH, October 24. Conditions at W ilding Park yesterday were excellent for attractive tennis and there was a good attendance. Over 800 people passed through the turnstilesm addition to reserved seat holders, making a total of nearly 1800 people watching the games. New Zealand's sole v.ctory came from C. E. Malfroy and D. G. France, ..who beat F. d. Ferry and H. G- N. Lee (England), 0-4, h-4, in the final match of the day. Both. Malfroy and Franco played up to their best form, and in volleying they were superb. The results.were as follow: Singles. F. H. D. Wilde. (England) beat C. Angas (New Zealand), 6-4, 6-4. F. J. Perry. (England) beat C. E. Malfroy (New Zealand), 6-3, 6-3. H. G. N. Lee (England) beat D. G. France (New Zealand), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Doubles. F. J. Perry and F. H. D. Wilde (England) beat C. E. Malfroy and C. Angas (New Zealand), 6-3, 7-5. C. E. Malfroy and T). G. France (New Zealand) beat F. J. Perry and H. G. N. Lee (England), 6-4, 6-4. C. E. Malfroy and D. G. France were the New Zealand pair to face F. J. Perry and H. G. N. Lee (England) in the last rubber of the test. It was a grim struggle from the start, lacking the sparkle of the previous combination, but the New -Zealanders were going hard for it. and gradually they crept to a lead of 4 games to 2. Malfroy aced the opposition several times and drew applause with perfect volleying ■ and smashing. France, too, was doing hi s work well, though he lifted several low volleys into the net. Several times they won needed points with soft lobs to the back line, which the Englishmen with their tightly strung racquets stemed unable to get back strongly-. The Englishmen fought back with vigour and evened at 4->all, but excellent work, particularly ■by France, broke through Lee’s service in the next, and from Malfroy’s cannonball delivery the- set was- New Zealand’s, 64. >■■■■ .j '

From the start 6f,the second set it looked like New Zealand's match— France and Malfroy were combining excellently. Malfroy was right in form with his service, which on the day looked'even better than that of Perry, and France at the net was finding the gap time and time’ again. His placements were wonderful, particularly in his volleys from the net. The pair were going hard for every point and j led 3-1 from 1-all. Perry with one service ace and some, beautiful stroking | made it 2-3, and the belated call of ' a line umpire that a smash of Malfroy’s was out evened at 3-all. Thrilling rallies at the net were a feature of the games that followed. Duel succeeded duel as often as the hall was served, and the .pace was very hot. France was the hero of these excursions. He moved with remarkable rapidity, and it was his finding of the gap that gave New Zealand the lead . again at fi-4. Malfroy won applause with his retrieving activity, hut largely it was wasted effort. France j took the service in the last game and a series of fine strokes won New Zealand their only match of the day. 6-4, 6-1.
