Notes

  • a In an original draw [1] Le Messurier and Weston – both representatives of South Australia – have been drawn together in the first round (Freudenstein received a bye into the second round to play against Waterhouse). This was protested by the South Australian Council as being against the regulations.[2]
  • b This is most confusing one. No source gives an information about such a draw, let alone the result.
