So carly in the play the differ- erice may not mean so much as the scores might suggest. The idea is that Davis will win, and complete a remarkable record of securing all the chief events of the year. which include the sealed snooker handicap, the snooker champion- the ship of the world, and now professional championship at bit lards.

DAVIS CUP TENNIS
London, May 10. The Davis Cup tie match held at Brighton to-day between Bouth Africa and New Zealand, resulted in Farquharson and Kirby (8. Africa) beating Malfroy and An- drews (N. Zealand) 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 in the Doubles.
CLOSE-CANNON PLAY
Newman has that wonderful flair waiting for his chance. His early days under the tuition of John Roberts, when he played as a very small boy, must have taught aim so much. If he makes "a break of three figures it provides a guide to how to play a game of deep intricacy. The achievement really is greater than the record. At the moment he is losing the match, and the camplurship which he held so worthily when the pre- sent holder. succeeded him. but still there are possibilities. New- man missed a deep screw cannon when he was playing well, and that brought to an end a break of 198. and then Davis dominated the situation again
The championship, is kely to be won by virtue of close-cannon play. The point, is whether this method of scoring is becoming overdone. Davis is so accomplish- od that it is difficult to appraise his value in relation to players of an earlier generation. His highest runs of cannons, in a break of 357 were 24 and 42, Newman's runs after that were small. He lost his chance for the time, and Davis began a break of 110 with a run of 50 cannons, to fall" soon after- warda by missing a very difficult cannon, which he had to play off the top cushion.
Newman did not accomplish so much as had been hoped, He missed a cushion cannon when he had scored 57. and Davis, who scored freely by open methods, in- creased his lead with a break of difficult
