Seldom has a moro disappointing match

After short period OF preliminary
work Brookes and Froitzheim twirled
the racket for tho choice OF service and
courts The German won and took SER
,7e. N the north court. Brookes and
wlldine we're the first to score, when
the former ended a short rally by slam
ming on. down the alleys out OF reach

s.me thing he hit the sphere out OF
bounds The Australaslans even tial!y
won the opening game scoring three OF
her four points on placements, and car
Id OF the second 700 with Wildtng on
he firing line.
The third game was the frst In which
ether Froitzheim or kreuZer showed any
-Rh' and they won II. but not until
deuce had been called. This was the
orly game the Germans won i'm the SET,
although they had very good chance o.

opening set which went so fast that tho
spectators hardly realized 1t was over,

The Germans had shown absolutely no
team work m this set and very little
Individual ability, but they started the
second So, by breaking through the ser
zee OF tho redoubtahle Brookes for
victory Their speed stopped right where
3 started. and they lost the set by drop
ping the next six games In succession
The Germans came within an ace OF
winning the second game no fewer than
three times and twice lacked a point or
taking the fourth. in which they led at
%o--lb. nut IN each case they developed
streak O, Vildness that effectually killed
any chance they might have had. The
points for tho second set gave tho men
from the bottom of rho world 81 and the
Teutons a fneagre 10.
In tho third set tho Germans again
started with victory. and their cohorts
again picked up little courage on the
principle that while there is life there 10
hope But the life proved to be a mega
tive quantity as far as ths Germans were
concerned and the proverbial hope slipped
gradually away AS Brookes and Wlding
reeied OF game after game until they
had the score at b--i. While gathering
IN rhees five games the Antipodeans were
pushed TO deuce only once. That was IN
the third game. and the Germans had the
!tad In II at 1910. but could not put
over The lone point necessary to give them
the game.
The long looked for squirt came in the
sixth game. when only one point sepa-
rated the islanders from the set and

N harmony for a spell and succeeded In
pulling out the game. The brilliancy OF
