Evidence was given by Poon Tac, an ambulancs attendant, who re- moved the platol from Madame Guerra's left hand.

Mr. Ohl's Evidence,

Mr. Rene Ohl, Vice-Consul for Argentine and mausger of the Messagories Maritimes Company, gave evidence that he and his family had known Mr. Guerra and his wife, since October, 1933. Madame Guerra often cried in front of them, for no apparent |

"As to Don Turnbull, there is no greater trier in tennis, but he needs a tremendous amount of hard work to reach his top from. He will get that in Europe. His ground shots need to be improved and one of my duties will be to see that he gets the right type of coaching and the

"I am well satisfied with Adrian Quist. There seems to be only one thing for this lad to do, and that is to increase his pace, for he is a grand Httle fighter and gets the ball back with monotonous re- beat advice sularity. With the Quist undoubtedly will be a power in the team. He has the faculty to learn quickly, and so we should not fear for the future of this young Ind. Vlylan McGrath still has a lot to learn. He is going ahead by leaps and bounds, but some of his shots still need to be improved. We know that McGrath has great tennis in him and it only needs the final polish which he will no doubt receive this year.

BEST TEAM AVAILABLE. "Summing it all up I think that we have the best team avaliable The experience of 1933 will be valuable to the lads. When I said last year that I would take a youth- ful team away It was with the object of enhancing Australia's future teanla, and I think that the performance of the lads this year will prove that the judgment of the Australian L.T.A. was sound.

"One of my objects when the team is idle between tournamenta or Davis Cup matches will to be sea that they practise against better men than themselves. It is not of much avail for McGrath to play Crawford or Quist. They do not take It seriously enongh Therefore I will endeavour to ar - range for them to play better men than themselves. I remember in Paris last year Quist met Frank Shields, who is the number one ranked player in America, In A practice contest and trounced him in three straight sets. It did Quist, the world of good. If we can arrange similar contests for for the various members of the team they should proft enormously.
