wv today to emulate her fellow
Californian, Don Bulge,
and gain place in the finals OF the

The young American champion was

Bromwich and Clifford Sproule in the
mems doubles quarter finals today.
Budge's Streak Broken.
RUDGE had sailed majestically
through five singles rounds with
out losing a set and scarcely service
game, but yesterday this record was
disturbed rudely by the Milwaukeean.
Indeed, when Parker took the opening
set, GO, and led, 20. in the second
set, one began to visualize a miracle
the unhorsing of the favorite by
player who never had menaced the
Californian before and who fortnight
earlier, had bowed to Wayne Sabin.
Then normality reasserted itself,
the clouds dispersed and Bulge sailed
home in bright sunshine But after
this four-Set contest Parkers repu-
tation had mounted and Budge's suf-
fered a slight depression.
Capt. Walter Pate of the American
Davis Cup team is elated II his No.
! man can reach the final of the
worlds amateur championship with
only half an hours weak play in
fortnight while his No. 2 can arise to
the height that Parker reached in the
flrst two sets. there's nothing much
wrong with the American team.
Breaks Budge's Service.
DARKER, neat and trim as usual,
resembled 1O-second spr:nter in
his shortest of shorts and neck-free
vest, collared Budges service three
times In his surprise attack. Fol-
lowing his deep chop to the net, he
either waited for the server to bum
gle his reply or delved forward to
w." VAN c1Ai away Will ueHL V0!-
ley 1t was dashing domination. and
for a time the redhead seemed
numbed. None OF his pet strokes was
functioning, and all his half-baked
loos were buried by Parker.
The second and third sets went to
10 games and Parker led in each,
II was not Budge's marked superiority
that won them, and if Parker could
have varied his chop with a plain
drive, there might have been a real
crisis. Not until the fourth set was
the Californian in the ascendent.
Won Cramm was only 2 points
removed from vanquishing Austin in
three sets. but he faltered at So
In the third. The struggle for this
set then extended for 26 games. and
Austin played his best tennis of the
year In winning it. 1t was a solo
hight, however, for he dropped to
earth and German grave In the
fourth set.
Bulge beat Won Cramm by three
eets to one in the Davis Cup inter-
zone match at Wimbledon two wears
ago. Both have advanced since then.
but Bulge has gone farther.
