Japan Eliminates Canada

Montreal, July 29.

Japan eliminated Canada from further participation in the Davis Cup tournament today when her doubles Pair won the third and decisive encounter after a stiff struggle. Having captured the opening singles contests, Japan put Canada out of the running and herself in the final round of American Zone play.

Jiro Yamagishi and Nakano accounted for the victory today, beating Ross Wilson and Laird Wat by 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. There are still the two crossover singles to contest, but their results will not affect Japan's passage to the final round.—Havas.
