DAVIS CUP - TENNIS
Britain Lead America
London, July 28, Victories by Fred Perry and Bunny Austin, in their singles Juatches gave Britain a 2-1 lead over America in the Challenge Round of the Davis Cup tennis tournament at Wimbledon, to-day:
The results were:-
F. J. Perry (Britain) beat Sydney Wood 6-1, 4-6, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2-
H. W. Austin beat Frank Shields, 6-4, 6-4, 6-1.
A crowd of 17.000 surrounded the centre court in fine weather to watch the opening match between Austin and Shields.
Austin immediately found his length and took Shields' cannon- ball services with delightful case, skilfully steering his returns down the sidelines with unfailing re- gularity.
The British player jumped into
a 3-1 lead, but Shields then speed- ed up his game and smashed with terrific "power to secure the next three games for a 4-3 lead.
Austin recovered, and, playing at the peak of his form, he ran out for set at 6-4 as the result of fast and "exciting play in which his perfect length to the corders proved the determining factor.
