the Australians. improving as the match progressed, repeately scored on seeming ly impossible shots.
 The victory of the <Kinseys was the most bitterly contested thus far in the tournament. Richards played all over the court to make up for the shortcomings of Hunter, who had an off day. Win repeatedly made breath- taking shots outside his own territory, but he could not win the match alone and the great international champion ship combination was forced to bow to the smoothly functioning west coast team.
 The outlook favors the Anxacs in the finals Saturday. Patterson and Wood, in defeating Johnston and Griffin, eliminated the team which defeated the Kinseys at Newport last Saturday.

 DAVID BROWN
 Veteran tournament player, former British open champion. Noted especially for his short game and accuracy on ap- breaches.
 One thing which causes a lot of extra strokes for a good many pretty fair play. CTS Is a set of clubs which have slightly bent shafts. Very often these shafts are bent because the golfer stuffs his golf shoes in his bag after the game Is over. Time and again I have seen this happen. My advico to golfers Is: Keep nothing but your clubs in your golf bag and your score Is likely to drop two to five strokes, just becausS your clubs are in better condition.
