MELBOURNE, Friday, Dec. q.
- W.D Jack Kramer and Ted
Schroeder, Americas sparkling ten
mis- twins, took the court today in
a doubles match against Jack
Bromwich and Adrian Quist OF
Australia-and if the U. S. team
wins it will mean that the Davis
Cup, emblematic of world tennis
supremacy, will return to America.
Following Yesterdays smashing
two-way victory in the singles
matches, in which Schroeder beat
Bromwich and Kramer doWneo
Dinny Pals, the Americans are in
the enviable position of needing on
ly one more victory in the remain
ing three matches to clinch victory
For the second straight day the
stands at the Kooyong Tennis club
stadium were filled to their capa.
city IA, 500. The weather was humid
with occasional light showers ex-
pected.
Bromwich and Quist, probably
past their prime but still rated the
worlds finest doubles team, will
need all their old-time form to stem
the slashing attack of the inspired
Yanks.
The Aussies are confident of a
successful back-to-the-wall stand,
recalling that the Americans wor
the opening two singles matches ir
the last championship cup competi
ton in 1889. From there the Aus
tralians won the next three to take
the cup Down under"
However, Captain Walter Pate Of
the U. S. team was jubilant ane
certain his team would triumph.
"We've the winning combination
in those two-Schroeder and Kram
Grand won't change it.
"I made the mistake of switchin
from the winning singles player!
to others for the doubles in 1913!
and we went on from there tx
lose the cup. I won't do that again.
Kramer and Schroeder came
through the gruelling first day il
