Two of the Davis Cup Defenders

C. R. D. Tuckey and G. P. Hughes who will form Great Britain's doubles Combination for the defence of the Davis Cup.

They were the Wimbledon funners-up last week. Before he teamed with Tuckey in 1934, Hughes shared many triumphs with Pert returning a card of 67.

Locke, the South African, led the amateurs with a total of 144, which was also the score of Ralph Guldahl, the American Open champion.

Alt Padgüam went round to-day 74 to return an aggregate of 162.

Conditions were far from ideal. Heavy overnight rain had made the turf sodden, and matters were not improved when it rained heavily again in the afternoon.
