SHIELDS DEFEATS CRAWFORD IN FIVE SETS.
HOPMAN EXTENDS VINES
Philadelphia, Yesterday. The United States to-day won the American Zone Final Davis Cup match against Australia when Ellsworth Vines and Francis X. Shields both won their singles encounters against Harry O. Hopman and Jack Crawford. America lead Aus- tralia by four matches to love. The result of the doubles match has been omitted in the cables.

Australians Favourites.
It is almost certain that Hopman and Crawford will represent Aus- tralia in the doubles against Wil- mur Allison and John Van Ryn, and on them rests Australia's hopes of winning at least one match in their encounter against the United States.
At the present moment they are hot favourites and their past performances fully merit the confidence placed in them.
Epic Match.
In 1929 Crawford and Hopman met Cochet and Brugnon in the second round of the Doubles Cham- pionship at Wimbledon. The great French pair were fully extended, and had a hard fight to hold the youngsters, who carried the cham- plona to 8-all in the first act. The French pair took the second set at. 6-2, but the boys came back, and, playing brilliantly, won the third set 9-7, and the fourth 64. Rain stopped play, and on the following day the Frenchmen won the fifth Bot at 6-4.
Rain Robs Them of Victory. Wallis Myers, in describing that match, stated that it was the finest match of the tournament, and "with Brugnon visibly tiring at the end of the fourth ast, the young Australians, but for the postpond- ment would probably have gained a notable: triumph;

It will be recalled that in a recent laue of the China Mail, Jack Craw ford was described as tempera mental. It will therefore prove Interesting to followers of lawn tan aia to read Crawford's vigorous retort to the accusation in which he hits back with Interest and not without humour.
He declares that the critics want It coming and going, that they are heavily blaused, "When I win,
