Ronald Shayes Remains An Enigma Even In The Hour Of Victory

London, May 15.

We were perhaps lucky to beat New Zealand in the Davis Cup contest at Brighton. The results were:-

FIRST DAY

I

C. E. Malfrou (New Zealand) beat R. A. Shayes (Ct. Britain), 4-6, 0-2, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3,

C. E. Hare (Gt. Britain) beat A, D, Brown (New Zealand), 0-3, 6-4, 0-3. SECOND DAY

Malfroy and D. C. Coombe (New Zealand) heat Hare and F. H. D. Wilde, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

THIRD DAY

R. A. Shayes (Gt, Britain) beat A. D. Brown (New Zealand), 4-3 6-4, 7-5.

C. E. Hare (Gt. Britain) beat C. E. Matfroy (New Zealand), 7-5, 6-4, 6-4,

BROWN HANDICAPPED

On form we ought to have won, when Great Britain's supporters won- all five and the loss of the doubles dered what act of indiscretion would was especially surprising. The match, next follow from his racket. however, revealed the British couple as inferior both in taetles and con- fidence. They were, his fact, but a It may be that Brown was handi- Rhadow of the eager and thrustinit capped by his right wrist which was couple that successfully challenged Hughes and Tuckey for the British cavily bandaged, but he was fight- lug a losing battle from the start. Hard Court Doubles Championship at He made it his policy to cut and spin Bournemouth in 1938. The quality of mutual support is an essential as-n order to induce Shayes into error,! rel in doubles play: the partners must attack to an agreed plan and pursue it

with sympathy and trust. At Brighton Hare and Wilde did not look like a compatible pair and one can only assume that in the year in which they had been separated some faith In each other's powers has been sacrificed.

On the last day New Zealand Arst started with a 2-1 lead but Shayes scored a straight sets win over A. D. Brown, then Hare, not to be outdone, also beat C. E. Malfray in straight sets. In spite of the clear cut nature of Shayes's victory (6-3, 6-4, 7-5), however, his play still re- mains an enigma. He is a Tilden in physique. He played at times in the manner of the great American mas- stream of brilliant ter, producing shots with the case and nonchalance of the born games player. At other times he looked a comparative novice, mulling the simplest of returns and hitting ball after ball out of court. At one stage of the match, as though to show to what heights he is capac-1 able of rising, Shayes won nine games off the reel from a nonplussed Brown, and simply toyed with his opponent. Yet there were periods.

in disadvantage he tried, Brown could not produce it. Handicapped by a height and reach, he spent most of his time chasing untakable returns in cuso, much for his fighting qualities, how- the far corner of the court. It says ever, that after being led 0-5 in the anal set, he was able to draw level at 5-ali before Shayca took the last two games to win 7-5.

The Hare-Malfroy contest was quite thrilling and Hare's victory was

due to his piny at the net.
