AUSTIN'S TRIBUTE London, July 30i H. W. Austin, interviewed by the Daily Express; Said Perry won the Davis Cup. "He laid the fp.undations of victory by defeating Cochet on Friday. To-day he played under most trying condifions against a brilliant beginner. He rose to extraordinary>eights wiih the cSowd continuaUy cheering his riyal. "Cochet paid me the compliment of sayihg h'e h'as iieYfer plsyed better iri his life, not even against Tilden, adding — 'Before the match I fe.lt an
old man. Now after playing so well I feel good for another ten years of tennis.' Personally, I think I could not have played better. "I consider Mr. Roper Barrett was perfectly justified in orriitting Perry from the daubles team. We succeeded as a team ahd not as individuals. I think no other country possesses two singles players of more or less equal goodness, such as Perry and myself."
