DAVIS CUP TEAM
UNDER BR|TTA|NS

| Tho United State Lawn Tennis as
socia ton has assembled the following
| data regarding the players who are
In the United States this summer on
| various Davis cup teams.
|. AUSTRALIA
: Norman Peach.-Peach is captain and
manager of the Australasian team. He
| has several fine victories to his credit
| He beat Norman Brookes last Novem-
| ber at Melbourne, in the Victorian
| championship, and took a set from
| Tilden in the New Zealand champion
| ships. With DR. North, in the inter
! state match last year at Sydney. he
| beat Brookes and r. W. Heath in q.
| match in which both of the winners
| volleyed brilliantly. Peach is as good
| in singles as in doubles, and his vol
| leying and ground strokes are of equal
| merit. His rise in the game has been
slow but his play has steadily i'm
| proved until It is now accounted little
| short of brilliant.
| j. o. Anderson.-Anders is the only
member of the team who has previ-
ously represented Australasia which
I he did in January. 1920, in what was
actually the 1919 match. He made a
| fine showing against Kingscote in the
first set, and It was only the splendid
| play of the Englisnman that wrsstsd
| victory from his grasp. He beat A II.
Lowe in the other singles after a. stren-
uous contest Anderson Isl much better
| in singles than in doubles but ia of
high class in both branches. He has
a forehand which at times ia com
parable to that of W. NJ. Johnston, and
| towering over six feet in height, he
| makes his strokes without undue ef-
fort. His backhand is sound. The long
| victories to his credit include one over
| f. G. Lowe in 1919. and another over
| Brookes in Melbourne in 1919.
| j. r Hawkes.. on performance.
| Hawkes.. the youngest member OF the
team is considered the strongest play
er. He has to his credit eight victories
over Brookes in both singles and
doubles. In fact. since he at the age
of IA won the schoolboys' championship
of Victoria. his career in lawn tennis
has been run OF almost unbroken
success. He IN n left-handed player
with splendid all-around game. His
| service has more break than that OF
any other player In the game at pre-
sent. and even W. NJ Johnston found it
difficult to handle Mt first. His smash
ing is severe without ever being rash
He Is sun very young and scarcely at
his full strength.

year from tho courts. Todd. who
ranks as ono of tho most skillnil play
crs in Australia. returns to the Davis
cup team. He celebrated his return
to the game by winning a clean sweep

the city Of sydney. His service is onc
~ tho best in Australia. and he win,
many aces outright with his FIRST de-
liverics. He follows his services into
the net where he volleys with consid-
+ cradle severity, and places his strokes
well. Overhead he is fine. and his
ground strokes both fore and backhsnd
