Veterans Prove Magnet.
This match was played on the cham
n,orshiD court and attracted the gala
audience Of the week. Men and women
SAT ON the clubhouse veranda ten deep
and deployed out on the lawns IN tner
eaCerrcss TO sec the two .wous play
erS IN action.
II required the playue the first
set 20 get Brookes and -arned &C
ouainted with each other game ouE
thereafter they moved down their op-
ponents IN easy style.
The games went with service IN inc

erv. Count Salm started OF IN inc

IerDed and on the Australaslan and on
Larned's net won the -f~' E"I.l'.
Rrookes's service was the most effective
~ the four. and he and has partner
evened the score.
The work Of the former American
champion was very ragged in me cary
stages Of the match. and Brookes prae-
ticel1V TOO. the burden OF deieallhE l"e
opposing pair on himself.
Tho Australas.au worked severe
'eross-court shot 10 the court HHilS
frequently for clean passes ana nag
most disconcertiug method OF ShooOiHE
his returns directly TO the feet OF Salm
and Aranyi. who fell over themselves D"
trying TO pick up the ball
IN the second set BrOOkes ana Lar
nod rot going more smoothly and con
f,Duallv drew their opponents oul OF
posifion BY passing them down the SIDE
ror~,g and then aiming for the space
between Salm and Aranyl.
Rrookes's wonderful volleying ana
the ease and grace with which he exc
cuted his ground strokes captured me
women IN the gallery. and they ire
ouentlv gave vent 20 their appreciation
bv clappiuc enthusiastically.
Verbal Clashes Amuse.
Count Salm and his partner caused
Great amusement at times by their
Verbal clashes because of crossed sig
mails The AustralasIan would ire
oue,tlv burst into q torrent OF french
reproaches that would annlnila'e
Aranyi. t.ro.
Rrookas. while chatting on the veranda'
roferred 20 the caustie criticism or ms
actious al Forest Hills last week oy
the newspapers. ,...,..
The Victorian did not speak bitterly
but he seemed 90 feel Keeniy the anu
tude OF the newspapers.
"Wbv. some persons even said ] Cd
iected 10 the crowd smoking out there
during the Davis cup matches. VI
course that wasn't true; why shouldn
thew smoke ont there IN an open Iot,
said the man who was mainly response
ble for the taking of the Davis cup
from this country.
Dabnev and Fottrel took the same
court as soon as Brookes and Larned
had defeated Count Salm and Aranyh
and the gallery. seeming hard battle,
remained 70 see the outcome.
Fottren looked an easy winner OF the
match I'M the first set. His service was
a terror TO Dabney, and when he fol
lowed IL into the net Fottrell had
things pretty much his own way. Dab
new could get only two games M IN"
