WHY PERRY

VOLLEYING GOES TO PIECES
CRAWFORD BETTER PLAYER
After F. J. Perry's revival, as shown in his rapid successes over G. de Stefani and V. B. McGrath, it is a little dis- appointing that he proved an- able to repent his last year's victory over J. H. Crawford In the final of the Austrálian- Tennis Championship last month, writea a Sunday
·Observer correspondent. But the Australian has always been a hard man to beat, on his own courts particularly; and it is only an all-court player of the 'very top class who can hope to
put him down.
It appears that Perry took the court without that weapon which hna been one of the most power- fal factors in his past sUCCOSBOS—— his volleying. He had won his two previous matches by sheer power and speed of driving, but that was not enough against Craw- ford. The Australian must be hustled if he is to be beaten, and there is no harder man to hustle. Give him time to make his own driving congs, and ho will win;
for his anticipation is so fine that he can deal with anything at the back of the court, however fast it comes.
