Worlds Net Cham
pionship

AUCKLAND. n. Il. Dec. 3l.---Aus-
tralasia lost her tennis laurels here
this afternoon before the strength
and craft OF American challcngcrs.
The Davis cup, the trophy ON
bl"matic of the worlds team tennis
championship, changed hands when
the last bail in the tenth game OF
the fourth set was driven out of the
court, and for the next year at least
tho cup will ropose under the stars
and stripes. This is the fourth time
America has won the cup. Aus
tralasia has won IL SIX times, while
the British Isles have been triumph
ant on five occasions.
Rallying after losing the first set
~ today's double matches, william
7. Tildeu, H., OF Philadelphia and
William Johnston OF san Francisco
revealed the same tennis wizardry
that carried them gloriously through
the singles matches yesterday Their
opponents. Norman T.. Brooks and
Gerald +. Patterson, the Austria lisian
masters OF the game. fought des-
perately to stem the tide of defeat.
but were outplayed clearly by the
Yankees The match was n brilliant
contest--an epic In the history of
the game. played under sky bright
with the sun OF southern summer.
The score of the match shows how
the Americans won the victory. The
challengers lost the first set 4-6,
but never again permitted Brokes
and Patterson to taste victory, win
ming the remaining sets Ga, 60,
and Ga.
The Americans formed an unques-
tionably superior team. Brookes and
Patterson being much below the
form they exhibited at sydney last
January. Patterson was frequently
caught In the back court during
rallies, and this weakness was
seized upon by the challengers
Brookes attempted in the last two
sets a play often used In semi
doubles. dashing in successfully on
many occasions. but against such
| plnyers as the American champions
his efforts were futile. a
Patterson undoubtedly won the
| first set, but beyond this his poo'
work lost the next three. The
| Americans scored their victory by
| the excellence OF their strokes, by
pressing every weak position ana
| by scoring brilliantly many times,
Tilden meets Patterson ana
| Brookes meets Johnston In Singles
matches tomorrow. but the result oi
these contests cannot affect the pos
session OF the cup.
