BEATS MACKAY IN DECIDING MATCH TO COMPLETE PERSONAL TRIUMPH
Forest Hills, Aug. 31. Left-handed Neale Fraser, 25-year-old strong man of an 'un- dorrated team from Down Under rogained the Davis Cup for Australia today by stroking his way to an 8-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over airman Barry Mackay of Dayton, Ohio, in a playoff of the final match in the bittorly-con- tested challenge round halted by darkness yesterday. All square with Mackay at one set each when fading light interrupted their vital fifth match on Sunday, Fraser clinched the Cup for the underdog Australians 3-2, by attacking continually with his twisting and kicking service and win- ning crucial games on Mackay's double-faults.
