A close contest has given Great Britain the Davis Cup after twenty-Jone years. H, W. Austin and F. J. Perry have thus demonstrated their full right to representative honours and their performances will be generally recognised as the fruit of great perseverance and steady study the game. Yet the hero of the match was surely Henri Cochet. The French veteran gave the British team a real fright, By the remarkable display of that tenacity which when allied to experience is s0 dangerous, he was able to overhaul his younger and apparently Jconquering opponent. Not the least Jof the merit of Cochet's feat is to be found in the fact that Austin was playing at the top of his form, France has reason to be proud of her famous veterans Cochet and Borotra and their fine example evidently fired the "baby" of the team, Merlin, to a great but un avail. ing effort against Perry.
