...doubles team. On the courts of the Germantown Cricket Club, where France won the Cup from the U. S. in 1927, Allison, whose game rarely reaches its peak till late August, proved that this year was no exception by losing to Australia's Adrian Quist. After a long, see-saw match, long-legged Budge put the U. S. back in the running with a courageous victory over Australia's wily old Jack Crawford...
...When "Wimbledon Week"?which lasts two, climaxes the London season? ended, three other championships had been decided: Men's Doubles, Crawford and Adrian Quist of Australia; Women's Doubles. Katherine Stammers and Freda James of England; Mixed Doubles, Perry and Dorothy Round...

Australia's Adrian Quist and Donald Turnbull used the same kind. Unlike U. S. players who have their bats strung, with gut so fine that it never lasts more than one day, often less than a set, Champion Crawford uses "any kind" of gut, thick, durable and oldfashioned, has his racquets restrung as many times...
