 Anthony F. Wilding, the AustraIian star, defeated Oscar Kreutzer, 8-1. 6-2, 64. Norman E. Brooke. Wildingss team mates, disposed Of Otto F'roitzhein, Germany's leading player. by 10-s, 6-1, 6--2. -WiIding at no stage was forced to exert himself to any extent, while Brookes, except fn the opening set, breezed fin agairst the German champion and team cape tain.
 The thing that amazed tho close students of the game assembled about the courts was the fact that neither Wilding nor Brookes revealed any thing that would shed light on their real form. Wilding was superb from back court. Kreuzer e1celled at the net
 the cross court shots of Froitzheinl tn the first set. After that he was the master, for he kept the German on the move and displayed marked clev- erness in making openings.
 An indication of the. confidence the Australasians have of winning tho series and stsndlng fn the final witch the British team is the fact that ln order to save Broolres there was taIk of playing A ". Dunlop ana 6. r Doust in the doubles today.

EDDIE McGOORTY,
 MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE
 CONTENDER, 25 TO-DAY

Eddie McGoorty, who represents
 Wisconsin in the International Union
 of, Middleweight Champions, will cell
 ebrate his twenty-hfth birthday to- day. Eddie has lately been display
 ing his proweas in Australia, where Jimmy CIa!bbys Of Indiana; Dave Smith, of Australia and Jeff Smith, of New Jersey, also middieweight champions, in good and regular stand ing. have been performing. McGoorty licked Dave Smith, who was touted
 as the best middieweight Australia has turned out since Bob Fitzsim- mons, but when he tackled Jeff Smith of New Jersey, he found himself up against a different Smith entirely. In I;their meeting at Sydney last March
 Eddie got the decision after hard7 fought twenty-round bout. but the referees award was very unpopular. Tn fact, the dissatisfaction of press and public was so pronounced that the referee has been put out of busi- ness and hasn't been invited to soffd- cfate since. Early this month Mo- Goorty fought Jimmy Clabby, the Hoosier member Of the middIeweight union, and lost on a foul Jem Smith
 defeated Clabby, however, so the Aus tralians put the, crowd on the New
 Jersey mans dome, and, in the An tipodes at leasts Jeff Smith is recog- nized champion of the middleweigllt division. McGoorty is far from dis couraged, however, and he confidently expects to recover whatever ground he has lost in his Australian cafa- paign.
 McGoorty was born at Eureka, Wis, July S1, 1889, and started fight ing as an amateur. When he was only fifteen he entered tournament in Milwaukee and captured the 13O- pound championship of the State of Wisconsin by defeating three oppon- ents in less thans an hour Eddie
 first tasted defeat when he went over to the land of his fathers in 1909 and lost the decision in a 20@round bout at Dublin with Tom Lancaster. He whipped Lancaster, over the same route, a little later, and so redeemed
 himself among the Irish fans Re- turning to America, he fought a draw
 with Tony Caponi. but the following where the picking was easier. A Jimmy Clabby in Butte, and lost in 10 rounds. Last Winter he took a l st teamboat and sailed away to Austra- lia, where tte pestiferous CIabby and
 the punchiferous Jeff Smith soon fol- lowed. .McGoorty.- put away Dave
 Srnith,i the Australian smiddleweight
 entry, with neatness and dispatch, but when he went up against his country man he was kept very busy. Des- pite a defeat now and then, however
 Eddie still has to be counted among l. the foremost of the middIeweight con tenders. and he will have to be whip ped more decisively than he has yet been to- be called out of it.
