MELBOURNE, Dec. 27 Ted Schroeder and Jock Kramer won the Davis Cup, symbol of world tennis supremacy. for the United States today breezing through Australia's doubles team in straight sets.
 John Bromwich and Adrian Quist whose brilliant play won the cup for Australia in the last Interna- ticnal matches in 1889, never had a chance today. as the two Californ- ians teamed to complete the whirl- wind victory launched so magnifi- gently yesterday with Schroeder's stunning upset win over Bromwich in the singles.
 If anything, the Americans gave the stricken crowd at Kooyong courts an even more convincing exhibition of their supremacy than they did yesterday, blasting out their doubles triumph, 6-2, 7-5, GA, in just 77 minutes
 They ran off the first four games of the first set easily and from that moment on there never was much dcuht about the outcome. The magnificent services of the two Americans gave Bromwich and Quist little opportunity to break through and so sizzling was Kram- CTS service that he wca games without a break
 After the mGcca. Bromwich with drew from tomorrows final Davis Cup singles matches and the U S. captain immediately substituted Gardner Mulloy for Jack Kramer, who had been slated to meet Brom- wich
 AS a result, the final singles which will be played only for exercise since the Americans have already clinched the cup will pit Mulloy against Dinny Fails and Schroeder against Quist, the Australian sub for Bromwich
 There was no official explanation as to why Bromwich withdrew, but it was assumed he had simply had enough tennis. The revised pair ings were net expected to be too happily received by ticketholders who had earnestly hoped to see BromWich whip Kramer.
 The Americans will take posses sion of the Davis Cup at ceremon- ies tomorrow and hope to take it home hy plane. The mug never has been in the air before

 With the rains stacking up slight ly, Coach Ray Eliot of the Illini concluded double drills yesterday and started lighter, one-a-day workouts. The Bruins Bert La Brucherie. who had been conduct ing three-hour -long practices, said two hours would be plenty from low on.
 Neither squad seemed in favor Of playing in the mud on New Years Day and the weatherman gave them a bit of farsighted cheer by a hedging prediction that chances are pretty fair for clear weather" next Wednesday.
 But practice fields were already very soggy and both coaches re- vamped defensive plans to combat more straight-ahead type football. The Illini, IS pounds lighter per man than the Bruins. figured that UCLA would be hampered just as much by mud because of the Bruin reliance on wide runs and tricky passes
 Odds on the local mart were 5-6 and take your choice.

 Musial, the batting king with a .365 average, added the slugging championship to his '46 accomplish ments. clubbing the opposing pit chers for a 587 mark on the basis of 366 total bases for 624 at bats
 As the talented first sacker from Denora, Pa. already had menopol- ized the averages by leading in runs, hits, singles, doubles and triples among others. it was not difficult to understand why he was named the most valuable player in the league The mystery of one committee member placing him ninth was still unsolved.
 It was the third time Musial had taken the slugging crown, having won previously in le43 and 1914 be- fore entering the Navy.
 Slaughter's 130 runs batted in told large share of the Cards success story, reflecting the real importance of his 300 batting mark His slugging average was 465, fourth among the regulars behind Musial, Johnny Mize of New York, .578, and Del Ennis of the Phil lies, 485.
