In Semi Match
BY BILL KING,


BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. 19-The
status of the national doubles ten
mis- championship round was reduced
to that of a routine workout for
the Australian Davis Cup forces to-
day at LongWood.
That teams brightest stars,
Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich,
completed the rout of America S out
standing pairs by humbling Bobby
Riggs of Chicago and ElWood Cooke
of Portland, Greg, the Wimbledon
and supposedly world champions,
6-1, Ga, 60, in the last of the
semifinals.
BY so doing. Quist and BromWich
forced this tourney to accept the
first all-foreign Windup in its So
year history, for their teammates,

morrow by drubbing top-seeded
Frank Parker of Beverly Hills. Calf.

QuiSt, BrOmwich Favored.
Quist and Bromwich, runners-up
last year to Don Bulge and Gene
Mako. were favored TO become the
first Australian winners in this
event since Norman Brookes and
Gerald Patterson trlumphed 20 years
ago
When Riggs and Cooke started
play. their chances for an upset
victory depended entirely upon
their ability to prevent the Aus
tralians from plaguing them at the
net. They tried hard, but their
best was only a feeble gesture.
The Wimbledon champions drove
most of their defensive lobS far
over the lines and when they tried
to put away the Australians close
order shots, they smashed most OF
them into the net. AS a result
Quist and Bromwich became almost
permanent residents in the FORE
courts, from where they pounded
or angled the amazing total OF As
placements in % games.
While building up their earned.
point average to per game, the
sensational Quist collected 25 and
! his teammates 81 was only one
| less than the opposition's combined
total. Errors were 26 for Riggs, 20
/ for Cooke % for Quist and II for
Bromwich. who seldom had anything
to do when not serving.
Englishwomen Reach Final.
The only threat from Riggs and
Cooke was registered in the second
set when they broke through Quist
with their only effective lobs and
pulled into 81 lead. They
cracked wide open after the sixth
game. during which the serving
Cooke broke through after pulling
up from love 40 and deucing three
times.
England's beautous Kay Stammers
and Mrs. Freda James Hammersley

ing in the women's doubles finals

Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline and
