MAKE FINE START
American Tennis Team Wins
It's First Matches.
Well On Way To Winning the
Davis Trophy.

Auckland y. T., Dec. 30--America's
team got away to an suspicious lead in
the contests for the Davis cup here to-
day by taking both the single matches
from the Australian team
William 7. TiIden, American cham
pion, defeated Norman E. Brookes,
1913, Ga, 1t and Ga. but he had
some difficulty in doing it.
William NJ Johnston, former cham
pion. had an easy time disposing of
Gerald L. Patterson in straight sets at
So. 81 and 81.
The voileying and accuracy of
Brookes' service was a feature of the
first match. The court was bit slow
but solid. When Ti1den got his game
started he forced Brookes back by
deep side line drives.
The terrific pace of the first two
sets seemed TO tire Brookes at the
start of the third set but he gathered
himself and by a supreme effort which
brought out the most brilliant tennis
he won the set.
After a temporary lapse from form
Tilden came back and literally smashed
his way thru to victory.
Johnston had an easy victory over
Patterson in a match that lasted only
an hour. Johnston drove with ter
rifle speed and accuracy and he took
every advantage of Patterson's weak
backhand and his erratic service.
