How Austin And Perry Put England In Strong Position
(By H. S. Scrivoner)
London, July 27. Everybody with any knowledge of Davis Cup his tory is aware that the side which can win both matches on the opening day of a tie is more or less on velvet, and that was the happy position of Great Britain, for on the first day of play H.

Quite curly in the first set it be
bvious that Crawford heln the service pull. He is not a "basher," but he can pound a really hard one down to within an inch or two of the side or the middle line, and therein lies much virtue. He was also proving that off the ground he was more potent than Austin, and was consequently under no grent need to go cruising up to the net. But I have a sort of idea that during the first little quiet set Austin was doing stocktaking while keeping a hold on the game sufficiently well.
He had a job to win his service for 2-1, and lost it on the fifth game; picked up to 3-3 with the help of a double fault by Crawford, but went astern again on another drop (ped service game (3-4), and Craw- ford was out on his own at 3-4 to 15-a quick act of a little over 20 minutes.

We expected Perry to beat Quist, and I personally could have wished that he had done it in a more con- vincing fashion. But perhaps I am upt to forget, ke a good maky people, that the Quist of 1936 is

He is great by reason of his conf- dently hit passing shots in defence, and in attack he is one of the Anest volleyers in the game.
