turning point iu the contest that led
tao Euuiaud's victory There appears
to bc little doubt that the Australian
was for once caught of his game and
that ln consequence the English team
scored what must be considered a
lucky win.
The comment on the crucial match
in which Tarke beat Brookcs is in
part as follows.

from to ] against him. He served
a hanging American service from that
point onward and was able, through
its slower flight through The air. to get

here who, except Heath, have hardly
a ground shot among them, and this
fact would. no doubt, greatly account
for the surprise that he seemed to
show at Parke's magnificent running
drives and speed IF foot in getting up
shots usually accounted safe winners.
ono other thing that struck me
about his game is that he seemed to
make his stroke and then relax. as II
What he had done was sufficient (as
no doubt II has been in dealing with
tho ordinary Australian opponents) to

The loss Of form of Brookes, though
sufficiently long to lose the trophy, did
not last throughout the series. for
on the third days play he disposed
of Dixon IN straight sets and drew
forth the following comment from the
English observer:
Brookes' game looked very conf
dent TO me- He moved with the quick
ness and go that one saw when he
was home in 1907: the same antici-
patton and delicate half volleys and
handling of rising balls was appa-
rent, and his service was quite fine.
One wondered what had come over
him on Thursday, when Parke had
defeated him, ga his game was not
of the same quality that day. while
his tactics aSainst Dixon were as

Davis played an aggressive game,
while his ieft-handed service was of
the same terrific character that mark
ed his lawn tennis play several years
ago. Wear was reliable. and, al
though he and his partner were bril-
liant at times. the steadiness of the
titleholders won the day.
