Brookline. Mass. Aug. 20.-(AP)-
Japan's Davis cup tennis team trem-
bled on the verge of elimination from
competition from the famous trophy
as play ended late today in the Ameri-
can zone final against Australia. On
the two opening singles matches Aus
tralia twice inflicted defeat, so decis-

as the winners. For the japanese must
now capture all three remaining

Australians have only to take the one

of the two singles matches Saturday
to gain the victory which will put
them against France. European zone

1t was the sterling play of Gerald
Patterson, at top form and the some
what spotty but still effective per-
formance of Captain James o. Ander-
son that shattered the hopes of the
Nipponese today. The giant Patterson
smashed his way to a straight set VIC

service all but swept the little SHIN
izu from his feet. Nine times in the
three sets he sent over clean, unplay-
able aces
In the Harada-Anderson match the
Japanese stroked the bail surprisingly
hard and his service not infrequently
gave Anderson trouble. The tall Aus
traIian was by turns brilliant and
mediocre. But in the end he had am
pie reserve to outpoint his rival.
Tomorrow Shimizu and Harada play
