Team Wins the Davis Cup When
Norman E. Brookes Defeats Norris Williams
Winners May
Play No More

Now that Norman T.. BrOokes and
Anthony 4. Wilding have taken back
the Davis Cup to the land OF the
kangaroo, by virtue of their victory
over the best America put forth. the
thought comes that this is probably the
last stand Of the great Australasians
in the battle for the international
trophy.
Brookes. although still wizard OF
strokes and court tactics. loses his
strength and speed after hard ses-
sion on the courts. and in 1915 this
will be even more pronounced.
Wilding, too. although a massive attn
lete and sinewed like an OK, seems to
be slipping backward, and has not at
any time since his appearance In this
country shown the form that formerly
won him the championship OF all the
world. He, too, will probably be con-
tent now to step down with Brookes,
his captain, and let younger men take
no the burden Of defending the trophy
they fought so hard and so calamity to
take back to the other side of the
world.
As for Maurice f. Mclaughlin: His
peer does not exist to-day. and 1t Is to
him Americans must look to bring back

Young American the precious Davis

that the cup for which the defenders
had fought so valiantly had been lost

Defeat by Williams.

FROM WELDING
Takes Three Out of Four
Sets from Antipodean on
West Side Courts.
WINNER is ON EDGE
His Speed and Generalship Give
Him Second Match of
the Day.

The first four games went to Brookes
in this manner before the American
could gain a foothold by winning his
own service, aided by a rare display OF
placement shots, every one of which
brought salyos of delight from the
stands.
The relentless Australssian captain
kept right on going, however, ana
Williams was glued to his back court:
Every time Brookes returned the ball
he drove it directly to his opponents
feet and the defender never had
chance Of taking forward step.
Crowd Is Sad One.
II was a silent and sorrowing crowd
that saw their youngest cup defender
being oorne down before the mastery
of Brookes, who ran out the last game
on his deadly service without allowing
his opponent the balm of single point.
Eleven points were all that Williams
gathered in this set, against the twen-
ty-fye OF the challenger. Matters
locked gloomy, indeed. 49,, -.
Then came the third set, and with II
nest of the spectacular features OF
TIE match. Williams started the SER
vice, and, putting his back into every
shot. sent the ball whizzing into
Brookes's service court with such pace
as to confound the Australasian.
Brookes scored his lone point in
this first game when Williams popped
one of his returns into the net. But
in the next game the veteran became
again the unvarying machine that had
moved down the younger opponent IN
the early stages Of the struggle.
Then the anxious thousands wit
messed another such struggle rs
Brookes and Mclaughlin had furnished
in their memorable match on Thurs
day. Williams was driving deeper and
truer and was going to the net with
great daring, from where he executed
sharp volleying strokes that caught
even the skilled Brookes unaware.
The stands were alive with move
ment and life when it was seen that
the young cup defender was at last
showing his mettle. Brookes was play
ing desperately, for he felt himself
slipping back, and WEAKNESS was lay
ing its hand on him.

to Williams's comfort.
The first three games had gone 10

point, and still the American continued

The applause was deafening when
Williams took the fourth game on his
service. which for the first time began
20 show signs of returning power and
speed. He also ventured TO the net
once or twice and brought off brilliant
nassing shots that eluded the Austria

deIphia youth was about to start
thrilling rally and show his real
strength he relapsed into one or his
nervous streaks again, and Brookes,
playing with imperturbable calm, took
the last three games and the third set
at 6-l. He was allowing Williams to
defeat himself by his oyer-anxiety and
lack of control.
Confident that he had the measure OF
his rival, Brookes began the second
set with even greater speed. In the
first session Williams, although scoring
three service aces 70 one Tor the Aus
tralasian and the same number OF place
ment shots to the foreigners lone
earned point, had made four double
faults, while Brookes had not made
any.
Few Errors For Brookes.
But the real story of the cup de-
tenders defeat is seen in~his nine nets
and fifteen outs. Brookes sent the ball
into the net on only four occasions in
the first set and out only three times.
Il was the real Br0okes who flashed
about the court in that second set. He
had all his Wanted speed and his
ground strokes were things Of beauty
to watch. Try as Williams would, he
could not dislodge his opponent from
the net, and the wizard from the Antip-
odes caused the Harvard boys attempt

campaigner such as he should mask his
actions and his thoughts, no matter how
bitterly he resented the actions Of the
crowd.
But the fact still remains that the
Australasian should not have been
given an opportunity Of displaying his
Shortcomings, and that he should have
been favored, if anything, when doubt
full issues arose.
After the third set, when Brookes
again came forth from the clubhouse
to give battle to Williams the crowd
was liberal in its applause, as though
realizing it had been too openly parti-
san in Us attitude before. The for
eigner seemed to appreciate the change
in the sentiment from the stands and
gave mastery exhibition at the last.
Not Even Standing Room.
Shortly before o'clock, the hour set
for the match TO begin, even standing
room was not to be had, and men and
women stood huddled between the aisles
and leaning over the backstop curtains.
Yet still more jammed their way into
the inclosure after the match had be,

natured grumbling from those already
seated.
The early corners did not realize that
the tardy ones had placed their reliance
in the specials" running from the city,
which stood stalled in the station for
periods ranging from ten to thirty min
utes, and then crawled all the way to
the courts at Forest Hills.
The men came out on the court at
2:I5, and Brookes won the toss and
chose the service, which he won with

work coolly, his lips set In thin line
Of determination.
Williams Nets Many.
Although having the advantage OF
service in the next game, Williams
could do nothing, and Melted Brookes's
returns with demoralizing frequency.

Fully ten thousand who remained
behind to see the match between Maui

Wilding came away with the knowl-
edge that the NATIVE SON. from Cali
fornia had proved himself the greatest
living lawn tennis player, for he de-
feated the New Zealander in decisive
fashion, at GO, 6-3, 2-6, g.
Even this balm failed to soothe the
feelings of those who had hoped 70 see
the Americans retain their hold on the
massive silver bowl, and it was sub
dued crowd that wendell its way slowly
from the stands.
All credit must be given to Brookes
for his great victory. He was lighting
against more than Williams and his
youthful energy. Probably thirteen
thousand of the fourteen thousand per-
sons in the stands were openly, frankly
and at times all too plainly swayed by
their feelings for the native player.
Every error registered by Brookes
was applauded wildly, but when the
Victorian scored and the American
missed the return the manu- Siapp'hb
was usually desultory and half-hearted.
Then, too, to put 1t mildly, Brookes
certainly was not favored in the giving
Of the line decisions. On only single
occasion did he receive the benefit OF a
doubt when the ball was close TO the
line, whereas Williams was favored in
Vulnerable times under similar circum'
stances.
II is true that Brookes displayed evil
dences of q testy temper. and this drew
down the disdain of certain persons IN
the stands. Upon one occasion the Aus
tralian captain dropped his racquet to
the court and shut out the din OF tu-
multuous applause By placing his nm
gers in his ears for period OF five
minutes.
Some Jeer Brookes.
There were shouts of "Take him on!
