CLEVELAND (AP) — Roy Emerson conceded the opening set to an inspired Chuck Mc- Kinley Monday and then rallied for a devastating 3-6, 6-2. 6-4. 6-4 victory that gave Australia the Davis Cup for the 12th time in the last 15 years.

The final margin was 3.2. it marked another frustrating fail- ure for the United States. which has not been able successful‘y to defend the silver tennis bowl since 1949.

The scrappy 5-foot-8 McKin- ley, America’s No. 1 ranked .player from San Antonio. Tex., put up a valiant last-ditch fight to 'save the cup but he was helpless under the relentless

mbardment of the 27-year- old Queenslander who climaxed his finest season.

Playing the type of forcing. almost errorless tennis that won him the Australian, Wimbledon and United States titles this year, Emerson dominated the match from the second set to the end.

He served with such crackl- ing force and played with such confidence and imagination that McKinley always seemed to be guiping ‘water.

THRILLED THE GALLERY

The stubby, thick - legged American, sliding and bounding over the clay composition court like an acrobat, thrilled the gallery of 6.500 with common) spurts of flashy shot - making but his spotty brilliance was smothered _ Emerson's un- relenting. machine -like attack.

Emerson never lost a service after d ropp i n g his delivery twice in the first set.

ost of the times he won his delivery at love or with the loss of no more than a single poini.

Albrecht said the usual pro- cedure is for the leagues to study applications and then dis- cuss them at their annual meet- lngs next January,
