...units in the State. It has a heavy concentration of stores in & around Philadelphia, its home town. Founded in 1917 as a merger of five old chains, ASCO was ruled until last spring by Samuel Robinson, a chain-store pioneer who started in 1891 with Vice President Robert H. Crawford and joint capital of $1,400. He now divides his time between Bryn Mawr and Pasadena, goes in for philanthropy in a quiet way, showering funds on Philadelphia hospitals and Presbyterian bodies. In his pocket he always carries a large supply of religious tracts, each with a $1 bill tucked...

Pretender Crawford's cohorts were weakened by an attack of intestinal flu which had laid low Adrian Quist, and an infected right hand which hampered Vivian McGrath, the curly-haired eccentric who plays a two-fisted backhand. Left at Crawford's side was only blond young John Bromwich who, even more eccentric than McGrath, is ambidextrous as well as two-fisted...
...Crawford's square-headed racquet still commanded such respect that expert doubt about Budge's ability to beat him was perfectly honest before the match began. And doubt still assailed the U. S. squad's brain trust after they had picked Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, the lionhearted, 5 ft. 4 in. Atlanta tumblebug, as No. 2 U. S. singles player. But all doubts evaporated when, as so often happens in sport, what had promised to be a titanic struggle turned out to be nothing of the sort...
Serving murderously, stroking like precise lightning, the attenuated, red-haired Budge polished off Crawford 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Indefatigable little Grant had small trouble with 18-year-old Bromwich, 6-2, 7-5, 6-1. When Budge & Gene Mako demolished Crawford & McGrath 7-5, 6-1, 8-6 in the doubles next day, the issue was settled. The singles matches that followed-Budge v. Bromwich and Grant v. Crawford-were purely matters of form. In one, Bromwich managed to get Australia its first set while Budge was beating...
