He smashes overhead shots with his right hand.
 He isn't always consistent, how ever. Harry Hopman, captain of the Australian Cup team, says he has played matches with Bromwich and had him hit all his shots with sin gle-handed grip. Apparently Brom- Wich suits his form to the occasion.
 l don't want to influence your Judgment, dear gentlemen of the jury, but you never saw anything that quite matches Bromwich in appearance when Nhe is playing a tough set. He combines the best fea- lures of a windmill in a high wind, an octopus defending its young, and two Boy Scouts wig -Wagging vital information to their troop leader.
 Bromwich's shall say unique, " style of play is the result of his talk ing up the game of tennis at the tender age of six. He was too slight to swing racquet with one hand so he adopted tWo-handed grip from necessity. He is bear for work Only l8 last year, he was eligible for both the Australian junior and senior events, which are played simulta- neously. He entered three junior events-singles, doubles and mixed doubles--and the same number of senior ones. He played five matches in one day and then-and I have this on the word of an Australian newspaperman-he practiced for two hours.
 Unorthodox or stylish, Bromwich IS probably the only player in the world capable of giving Don Budgc trouble, and the Americans will have trouble with him in the Davis Cup play at Philadelphia next month. Copyright 1888 by United Press)

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 25- (UP)-Jack Bromwich, 19, of Kogar- rah, Australia, the right-handed, left-handed, e-handed, two hand ed and cross-handed Davis Cupper, is annoyed by the newspaper in- situations that he is slightly un- orthodox tennis player.
 He considers his methods of strik- ing a tennis ball with a racquet as natural as the flight of a bird or the fall of water over a dam, and jolly well wishes the "pressmen" of the United States would stop painting him as as fiannel-panted freak.
 As an American "pressman" who has caused but few international complications by offending foreign CTS, and who doesn't care to cause any more, I have studied Brom- wich's style of play for four days here at the national doubles cham pionship in an effort to determine whether he is right and we press men" wrong or vice versa.
 l am now going to tell you what saw and leave it up to you, my twelve good and true readers, to de- eide.
 BromWich, natural left-hander, serves with his right hand. When serving, he holds two balls in his left hand, and immediately on hit ting his first service, drops the re- maining ball at his feet. If the first service fails he has to stop and pick up the one he dropped. This habit Of dropping a ball at his feet gives his opponents the jitters because they fear he will step on it and take nasty fall. Most players will halt a match and have ball ten yards away from them removed. Brom- Wich seems to take comfort in hay ing a ball underfoot.
 On all shots to his right, Brom- Wich uses a tWo-handed forehand. which isn't his forehand at all but his backhand, because he is a southpaW

BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 25- (UP)-Possession of the American women's tennis doubles champion ship for the year 1888 probably will be decided on the courts of the Longwood Cricket club today when the defending titleholders, Alice Marble and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fa- byan, meet the English team of Kay Stammers and Margot Lumb.
 This is only a semi-final match but the winner will be a strong 'fa- vorite to take the cup. At the start of the tournament Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan were considered so formidable that they were held at even money against the field. But their play yesterday, when they were lucky to beat the ordinary combination of Dorothy Andrus, New York, and Mime. Sylvia Hen- rotin of France, heightened the odds.
 The two sharpest volleyers in Womens tennis, Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan played pat-ball game against the New Yorker and the French woman. If they hope to whip Kay and Margot they will have to return to power game, because the English girls won't be beaten by outdoor ping pong.
 If the Americans whip the Eng fish it will prove they are back on their game-and when they are right they are tops.
 The other Women's semi-final be- tween Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Po- land and Mime. Rene Mathieu of France, and the Australian team of Thelma Coyne and Nancy Wynne won't be played until tomorrow.
 Mems Play
 The remaining two mems quarter finals will be played today. In one the Frenchmen, Won Petra and Bernard Destremau, conquerors of Don Budge and Gene Mako in this years French championship, will meet Harry Hopman and Leonard Schwartz. Australian Davis Cup 'l'oASp iiC ldVOICu. III the other match the No. Austra. Han duo of Adrian Quist and Jack BromWich meet Gardner Mulloy and George Foley of Florida.
 Quist and Bromwich are not like ly to be denied.
 Two semi-final places were filled yesterday by Budge and Mako, and Winner Allison and Johnny Van Ryn. If Wilmer and Johnny con- tinue to play as they did against Bobby Riggs and Bitsy Grant yes- terday they make take a third and final leg on the big cup.
 Allison played one of the most spectacular games of his career against Riggs and Grant. He was here, there, and everywhere to drive home untouchable shots. He had cool, willy support from Van Ryn, whose return of service still remains one of the great shots in tennis.
