Last week, as the 58th U. S. Singles tournament warmed up at New York's Forest Hills, it looked as if the Australians (John Bromwich, Adrian Quist, Jack Crawford, Harry Hopman) who had come to the U. S. this summer might well take back to the Antipodes not only the Davis Cup which they won last fortnight and the U. S. Doubles title (won by Quist & Bromwich last month), but-at long last-the U. S.

S. team in the Davis Cup challenge round at Philadelphia on September...
...born chairman of Anglo-American Oil Co. Dapper, well-nosed, greying, Bliss is rated as a modernist with a sense of humor. Last month Manhattan heard the world premiere of a Bliss piano concerto, showy, noisy, built for big-muscled virtuosos and played (with the Philharmonic-Symphony under Sir Adrian Boult) by just such a pounder: a British onetime prodigy whose concert name is now simply Solomon...
