Allison Frightened.

IN ONE sense Allison lived up to ex-
pectations. He wasn't figured to
take Quist and seemed to know it be-
cause he appeared both nervous and
frightened at the start. Quist merely
had an assignment and saw it
through.
Although the Australians service is
not as sound as Allison's it was more
reliable, notwithstanding the fact
Allison scored six aces. Allison won
the first three games Of the second
set and the next four went on serv-
ice. Quist rallied and won three in
a row at love, but the Texan was not
to be denied the set. Except for a
service break by Allison in the sixth
game, the fourth set was a romp for
Quist who, aware Of Allison's vaunted
volleying, kept him back with deep
drives.

ments and then Crawford broke
through Bulge in the twenty-flrst.
Leading 30-l5 and two points away
from victory, Crawford netted these
needed points with careless volleys in
what amounted to the turning point.
Bulge held his service in the twenty
third, and although denied match
point twice in the next game, he
finally finished with placement and
a forehand shot that forced Craw-
ford to hit out.
The earlier triumph Of Quist was
completely overshadowed by the
Bulge e-Crawford encounter. While
Allison had to struggle for whatever
he attained and approximated top
form only in the second set, the Aus
stralian titlist set him down by steady
rather than spectacular play.

Gus Langley. who twice escaped the
electric chair by a matter of minutes,
and then proved his innocence
Langley, 80, former house painter.
who now lives in Morris Plains, N. j.,
spent three years in prison.
While there he painted the warden's
quarters and other buildings. For this
work. as well as for his detention. his
attorney, B. F. Britain, said today,
the Legislature will be asked to re-
imburse him.
Four years ago Langley was con-
victed in Asheville for the hold-up
killing of a filling station operator
Langley asserted he was en- route from
Wilmington to Asheville at the time.
A few minutes before he was to die
in the electric chair. he won a re-
prieve. A new execution date was set.
He got another eleventh-hour lease on
life.
Pardon Commissioner Edwin Gill
held an informal hearing and wit
nesses substantiated Langleys con-
tention that he was In Wilmington the
day before the crime.
An actual test showed Langley could
not have left Wilmington at the time
it was established he did, and reach
Asheville, on the other extremity of
the State by the time of the killing
He was freed by executive clemency.
