force the match to extra sets, so ef-
fective was the team play of their
formidable opponents. The winners

match held all the tension and interest
of final round encounter for the
title.
Play Lacks Synchronization.
In the first set. the Americans raj
lied when trailing to even matters at
four-all only to have their opponents
finally take the set after 1t had been
repeatedly deuced. The second set was
won with less dificulty. as the Euro
peans gained in confidence.
Miss Wills, never at her best in dou-
bles, played we'll, as did Miss Cross, but
their play lacked the close synchroni-
cation and teamwork Of their antag-
onists.
The first set provided some Of the
most absorbing tennis ever seen in

Americans waged brave fight to gain
the lead.
