SWEEPING VICTORY

Perry Overwhelms Stefani

at Melbourne CRAWFORD REGAINS FORM By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 9, 10.45 p.m.) Melbourne, January 9. After losing the first two sets in his match against Quist in the quarterfinals of the Australian tennis championships to-day, Menzel appeared io be playing with an air of despair, Quist’s form being excellent. Menzel won the third by terrific driving. The remaining sets produced high-class tennis, but Quist was obviously superior. Crawford was an easy winner from Moon, though he was troubled in the second set. Crawford’s form is now excellent. Perry appears to have overcome his carlier disability and practically swept Stefani off the court. Results are:— Men’s singles, quarter-finals:— A. K. Quist defeated R. Menzel (Czechoslovakia), 6-1, 6-3, 8-10, 1-6, 6-1. J. H. Crawford defeated Moon. 6-0, 10-8, 6-2. F. J. Perry (Britain) defeated Stefani (Italy), 6-0, 6-0. 60. V. McGrath defeated D. P. Turnbull, 9-7, 5-7, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Women’s doubles: Misses Dearman and Lyle (Britain) defeated Misses ,Hoddle and Wrigley Rees, 6-1, 6-3; Mrs. Hopman and Miss Bickerton defeated Mrs. Harper and Miss Bellamy, 6-3, 6-1. Men’s doubles: Turnbull and Quist defeated C. Boussus and J. Brugnou (France), 11-13, 8-10, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2. BAN ON FILM WORK Newspaper Urges Removal FUTURE OF F. J. PERRY London, January 8. The “Evening Standard,” referring to doubts as to Perry defending his title at Wimbledon, says that there is only one action whereby doubt could be converted Into certainty, and that would be the early removal of the absurd and illogical ban on film work by amateurs; absurd because every encouragement ought to be given to stars, severely handicapped by tennis and travel, to earn a legitimate living; illogical because under the existing rules it. is permissible for players to profit from books containing “still” pictures. There are feasons for believing Perry would cast aside all thoughts of professionalism if he could take the big money offered for filmmaking. The newspaper urges the Lawn Tennis Association to agitate with the international federation for the removal of the regulation against film work.
