BRITISH DAVIS CUP PLAYERS. OLLIVIER BEATS BEAMISH. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Chrlstchurch, Last Night. At Lancaster Park tennis matches were played between A. E. Beamish and A. H. Lowe, two of the British Isles representatives in the recent Davis Cup contest, and local rlayers. There was fine weather, but a threatening and strong cold wind blew across the ground. Some very good tennis was witnessed. The New Zealand, eihamplon-, G. OltMdr, beat Beamish, 8—4,2—0, 6—2, but Lowe outclassed A. D. Cox, o—3, G—4. In doubles the visitors beat Olllvler and G. G. Altken very comfortably, the scores being 6—3, I—6,1 —6, o—o, 6—2. Olllvler did not play nearly as well as In singles, though Altken played a good solid game. The visitors played with a fine understanding and at times their game was a treat to watch. Beamish played a Sne, all round game, while Lowe's awkward service and brilliant driving proved him a very dangerous player. Both men volleyed well and played a superb game close to the net. | To-morrow, Olllvler plays Lowe, and P. G. Greenwood meets Beamish. The saime players take part in doubles.
