Z.B.W. REPORT

International Club Match

Successful. Year In Ladies Section

The Club Teams

{Special Air Mail Servlon?

London, Oct. 177 The prospect of" watching, per- haps, an hour's tennis between, H. W. Austin and Jean Borotra--those old opponents whenever the International Club of Great Britain meets the daughter organi- dation of France-drew a very large attendance to Queen's Club.

The position at the close of Fri- day's play in this annual encounter was that the French club was leading by four matches to thrée; but the balance was soon redressed by the agency of A. H. Lowe, who, In one of the “old-times” singles, was too good for Mt. J. G. Ritchie, who on this occasion has been called on to full his membership of the French I.C. Carrying on the good work. E. C. Peters then put the home club one ahead by a hard-won victory over the young left-hander M. Bernard, who fell away in the third set, worn down by his opponent's imperturbable steadiness.

After Nigel Sharpe's display of the first day, when he had twice been within an ace of, defeating Borotra, his chances against C. Boussus were considered bright, When he had put the first set of à rather unemotional match to his credit, they looked brighter, especi- ally when he reached. 3-1 in the second But Boussus now began to play lovely tennis, scoring repeat- edly with his volleys and deep drives, principally on his back- band; and he took five games running for the set. The final set went a little in Sharpe's favour til his opponent began to get a regular crop of net-cord shots three in one game. This broke Sharpe's heart after a time, and Boussus, finishing the match with four gorgeous shots in succession. got safely home.

Brilliant Volleying

By this time there was not a seat available anywhere when Austin and Borotra came into court to renew their annual duet. They provided the gallery with a very interesting and exciting, if not a very great, encounter. In the first set. Austin Was so greatly the superior that he was scoring three aces to Borotra's two all through It, although he only won it at 6-4, The only time after the first game that Borotra got ahead was when he reached 3-2 after putting on a beret, a gesture greeted with the usual applause. Up to 4-3 in Borotra's favour in the second set every game was hard fought: the leader was not only playing well, but having most of the luck He got to 5-3 by some characteristi- cally brilliant volleying; but Austin checked his rushing tactics-by some good passing shots, and only lost one ace in making it 5 all Borotra again got ahead, and was within a point of the set at €–5, but promptly served a double fault. He would not be denied, however, and again got the lead at 7-46, and went out on his second ses-point in the following game.
