|QU|ST, BROMWICH
 MYSTERIOUS TO TENNIS EXPERTS
U. s. Talent Looks Medi. Ocre-Van Horn and
 Kramer Team Up
By HENRY McLEMoRE


 United Press Stan Correspondent) Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 15- (UP)-The Davis cup doubles team which Australia believes will be the deciding factor in lifting the inter- national trophy this year will have its first test of the season today in second-round match of the na- tional doubles championship. The formidable Australian duo of Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich. conquerors of the mighty Don Budge and Gene Mako in cup play at Germantown last September, will engage those slam-bang California youngsters, Welby Van Horn and Jack Kramer. The match has 8 double lure. Not only will 1t give the American cup fathers look at the Australians, but it will furnish true line on Van Horn and Kramer, a pair that many. critics consider the most promising in the game.
 There is certain amount of mys- tery concerning the Australians. They have been on this continent for many weeks, but have carefully avoided most of the tournaments, preferring to practice, among them selves and take movie shots of the American stars who will defend the cup. They exposed themselves for a few minutes yesterday in a work out, and Bromwich played as if the reports that he had lifted his game considerably were true. His service which was rather inept last year, packed real sting, and his smashes were twice as decisive as they were Q year ago.
 Kramer and Van Horn, only few months out of high school, have promised not to be awed by the regulations of the Australians and to wade into them with all their power, and the kids have 1t, plenty of 1t. Big, rangy fellows, they swing like Vines and Budge and rest their hopes on hammering home winners, not on finesse.
 Americas veteran doubles teams looked poor in yesterdays play. The top-ranking unit in the country, and the one with the inside track to the Davis cup assignment Frankie Parker and Don McNeill- played like tyros most of the way in being driven to five sets by little known Bill Talbert and Jack Bush- man of Cincinnati and Baton Rouge, respectively.
 Another highly considered tan- denl-Johnny Doeg and Wayne Sabin-is out of the tournament, victims of Charlie Hare of England and Ladislaus Hecht of Czechoslo- vakia. And Gene Mako and Jack Tidball, another well thought of team, was only adequate in trim- ming Hal Surface and Bitsy Grant 8 mediocre doubles combine.
 The worshippers of Alice Marble, supreme in the world of women's tennis, still are awaiting her ar- rival. Scheduled to start defense of her title with Sarah Palfrey Fab- van two days ago, Queen Alice has yet to appear. A lesser light would have been defaulted long ago, but the tournament officials know a box office appeal when they see 1t, and are treating Alice with the utmost consideration.

Riach Routs Henry
 Ciesliewski In Thomaston Meet

Gordon Riach, defending cham pion, won a decisive, straight-set victory last night over Henry Cies- lewski, Naugatuck veteran, in the finals of the mems singles at the Thomaston Tennis tournament. The scores were 6-2, 6-1, so. Riach out classed the hard-driving challenger from sart to finish, and was never for moment out of control of the situation. eKeping his opponent in the back court most of the time with high-bounding drives against which Cieslekski's game seemed powerless, the classy Waterbury star drew Cieslewski into error after error. He played a cleverly-planned game throughout, never using speed which the Naugatuck player thrives on un- lessit was to put away a sure win- ner. When he did drive the ball, he cut 1t so thoroughly that the bounce was only inches of the ground.
 Interesting
 For a few moments in the sec- ond set, 1t looked as if Cieslewski might be able to force Riach to swing into driving game at which the 'Naugatuck veteran might have stood a chance, but after the game had gone to deuce, Riach pulled the pace down to where he wanted 1t and worked the game around to the type he wanted to play. The formu- Ia was simple one, and the execu- ton of the necessary shots perfec- tion. After an exchange of high- bounding drives to the backhand corners, Riach would wait his chance and then lay into one with enough twist to keep the ball almost in the clay where 1t hit. Even the crowd became familiar with the tactics, and as Riach cooked his arm for the kill, the spectators held their breath in unison, wondering if Cieslewski could possible get there for the re- turn. He seldom did, and even when he did. his returns were easy put aways for Riach. ,l...
 Riach was presented with a silver cup as the large crowd cheered him t ca man. .
 The schedule for the balance oi the finals at the Pine Hill courts z as follows: Tuesday night, s o'clock Jim Mullen and George Backman Fulton singles champion, will team together against Gordon Riach and his partner, Joe Daly of Waterbury in the finals of the mems doubles. On Wednesday night at o'clock, Stella Pocoski and Gordon Riach will oppose Henry Cieslewski and Bessie Bronson of Naugatuck in the final match in the mixed doubles event.

Situation Precarious

That Republicans are disturbed at the present inert state of the Legislature can be seen in the appearance yesterday be- fore joint session of Senate and House of Governor Raymond E. Baldwin. This was no sudden decision on the governors part; it undoubtedly had been discussed and considered from all angles before His Excellency decided to make his un- expected appearance and urge action on the question of dual job-holding bill. That seems to be the nub of the present. day situation.
 Oddly enough the situation is one in which chickens came home to roost. If any political party lived up to the theory that when you've got good man don't give him one government job but two or three, it was the Republican Party that flourished in Connecticut for quarter of a century up to and including the early days of the Wilbur L. Cross regime. It really wasn't until 1884, four years after ex-Governor Crosss first victory that the state governments But for 25 years previous the COP fattened on the gov ernment.
 Today the idea of legislator holding another job in the state government is slightly abhorrent. Everyone admits that the appointive powers of the Legis- lature were abused Everyone admits that choice appointments should be out of the reach of a legislator who contemplates holding down his law-making position. But Democrats and Republicans had a different idea how such a ban should be promulgated. In the House the Repub- llcan majority passed bill which ad- Jnittedly did not cover many jobs to which a legislator could easily fall heir
 So the Senate with the Democrats lead ing the way decided to make the bill all- inclusive, which was just enough to dead lock the issue and throw the matter into conference where naturally no agreement could be reached if no concessions were to be made on the subject. Now comes the governors suggestion of a constitu- tional amendment to care for dual job holding eventually. While waiting for the years to pass the situation is taken care of by respective Senate and House resolutions each body sticking to its guns It may work, but why not little gubernatorial pressure, one way or the other, to have either the House or Senate bill passed by both houses. It certainly would be simpler and far more effective right now

All In The Family

What the individual members of the Roosevelt family think of this friendly
 CD little encounter, via newspaper front pages, in which Elliott Roosevelt and his brother-in-law, John Boettiger of Seattle, Washington, are engaging in hasn't as yet been made public. The family's reac- tion to the voiced opinions of the two boys should make interesting reading Personally good many in the newspaper trade are beginning to wonder if per haps Elliott and John haven't been hired to do press-agent work for their respec- tive states.
 There has been a Chamber of Com merce attitude around both of the boys remarks. First off Mir. Boettiger spoke about the big salmon of his state and the fine fishing that Vice-President John N. Garner might indulge in up there. To which Elliott responded that these sal mon were about as big as the smallest tarpon that are taken off the coast of Texas. All this is mighty fine advertising for both Texas and Washington, particu- larly at time when the nation seems about evenly divided between New York City and San Francisco (the Fairs, you know).

 When one recalls the public clamor af- ter the "flu" epidemic and if one would read the editorials of that time and of the state of mind that demanded the erection of this 'lemon" any pickering about caretaker's wages seems so trivial. Yet one would think it was part of million dollar conspiracy from the editorial space and time devoted to it.

A FITTING SELECTION
Bridgeport Times-star)

Entirely aside from his superb equipment for the position by birth, education and training the selection of Rev. Leo Finn, pastor of St. Mary's church, for the supreme chaplaincy of the Knights of Col lumbus is altogether fitting when viewed in the light of the history of the organization. It was due to the vision, per- ststence and indefatigable zeal, of
 his uncle, Rev. Michael McGivney that the order was born. Two later McG Givneys also of the priesthood followed their founder brother who was the first supreme chaplain. Like the three McG Givneys there are three Films in the priesthood, nephews of the founder, and to the eldest of these Finn brothers goes the honor of succeeding the last of the Mo- Givneys. He thus becomes spiritual kdirector of the order which had its birth on American soil and has prospered and spread to practically every country on the Western Hem- isphere.
 Supreme Knight Martin Carmody and his associates on the board who were unanimously agreed in this selection will be heartily commended by the membership. They have pro- vided the order with spiritual ad- wiser who can be depended upon to measure up to the standards of his predecessors; and in doing so they have paid the highest form of tribute to the memory of three out standing brothers whose love for their fellow men of whatever creed or race was matched only by their love for God and Country.
