Americans & Australians Share First Two Singles Of Challenge Round

By GAYLE TALBOT

Sydney, Australia, Dec, 26.

American and Australian Davis Cup forces battled to a standstill in the first two singles matches before a crowd of 15, 300 at White City Stadium today and the concensus tonight was that the challenge round will be decided by tomorrow's
