-By Telegraph — Copyrlght)
BrishOne, Nov. 24. In the singles of the tennis test matches, Gledhill (U.S.A.) beat Sproule 6-4, 6-4- Allison (U.S.A.) beat Moon, 12-10, 6-1, Van Ryn (U.S.A.) beat McGrath, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3. Ih the doubles niatch, Vines and Gledhill (U.S.A.) and Moon and Sproule, 6-4, 1-6, 5-5 was unfinished. The Australians made a bad start, losing all three singles on the opening day. Play throughout was of a high order, with the Ameficans showing better form all round. The Allison-Moon match provided many thrills, with Moon in the the early stages playisg well. Later, however, he faded away, and fought little in the second setMcGrath gave the Australian supporters heart by talcing a set from van Ryn, but the American was too severe in the third set. The Gledhill-Sproule niatch was more notable for aecuracy than for brilliancy. When the light caused an adjournment in the doubles, the Americans were definitely on top, with Sproule outstanding. Vines revealed great speed, but generally seemed to be reserving himself.
