PERRY'S DEFEAT.

Paris, Yesterday.

In the Inter-Zone Final of the Davia Cup In Paris between Great Britain and the United States the two countries ended up the day on an equal basis. The two singles matches were divided.

Full results as cabled by Reuter were as follow:-

H, W. Austin (Britain) bent S. Wood (U.S.A.) 2-6, 6-0, 8-6, 7-5.

F. Shields (U.S.A.) beat F. J. Perry (Britain) 10-8, 6-4, 6-2.

"Bunny" Austin lived up to his reputation of being a sensational player on occasion and defeated Wimbledon's champion and thus avenged Perry's defeat in the semi- final round. Perry, however, dis- appointed and went down in straight sets after a gallant effort in the first set: If Britain had an- nexed the first two singles matches they might have been this year's Cup challengers to France, but our hopes are not too bright at the moment. The Americans will only be spurred on by their early check and will probably play the dazzling tennis that they are quite capable of.

All batsmen know how Irritating a wicket-keeper can be. He shifts his feet just before you make your stroke; he moves his hands at the exact moment when you want all your eyes to see the ball; he flieks off your bails when you have play- ed back, or appeals for leg-before- wicket when even the bowler has not thought of it.-H. A. H. Carson.

The first-class cricketer's life in England to-day is a very busy one. I am not complaining, for I like to keep at it, but it is a fact that we crowd more work into our four months' season than the profés, sional footballer into eight months. For that reason, the public should not expect us, especially bowlers, to be always at the top of our form, In Australia the season gives only a quarter of the work, and so men have time to rest and retain their freshness and enthusiasm.-Harold Larwood...
