Draw Favors Australians,


A LTHOUGH his condition remained
= uncertain. Quist was well along
the road to recovery from an attack Of
intestinal flu when Sproule decided
yesterday to nominate him. The cap
tain could name a substitute today, If
Quist were too Ill to play, but in that
case the substitute would have to finish
out the series Monday.
The draw favored the Australians
to the extent that Crawford was pitted
against Bulge in today's first match,
at pm, while Quist drew the dimin-
utive Grant. The tall, red-haired
Californian is rated as at least a
match for either of the Australians,
while Grant, although picked over
frankie Parker for the No. 2 berth,
Is considered gamble as grass court
player.
Should Quist be unable to play,
either Vivian McGrath or young Jack
Bromwich, both noted for their two
handed strokes, would replace him.
McGrath was taken sick during the
Australians flrst-round matches at
Mexico City and his preparations re-
tarded. Bromwich is inexperienced In
international play.

one hit. In that frame, Chapman and

out, but Myer and Stone left them

Nat to reach third base. He doubled

"A PPARENTLY having rid herself Of
the costly double faults in her
system, Miss Clarke romped through
the second set with more ease than
either girl enjoyed all afternoon. Miss
Cootes broke her service in the third
game, and her only double fault Of the
eight games cost Miss Clarke the nth,
but with those exceptions, it was all
Clarke
Thoroughly warmed up now, Miss
Clarke saw her chances for victory
washed away by the downpour. which
contrastingly affected her and the new
champion. She didn't need a rest:
Miss Cootes did, and the hour and
half delay that was required probably
accounted for the final result.
There was no denying Mary's zeal for
victory, however, exemplifled in the
last game when, at deuce, after losing
two match points, she burned over the
only service ace of the match for
advantage and forced her opponent to
drive out for the all-important point.
