TENNIS IN AUSTRALIA
CRAWFORD IN FORM DEFEAT OF ADRIAN QUIST All Jack Crawford’s old artistry of stroke play was exhibited in his victory over Adrian Quist in the recent inter-Statc tennis match in Sydney, says an Australian writer. Shot after shot recalled to the spectators the Crawford who once led the world. The crowd roared its approval as Crawford took the lead and won
the first set, G—3. Quist was forcing him to take the short return, which helped to tire Crawford. Quist played well and may do better in the State championships. He has not had much opportunity to find his game yet. Continuing to play at his best, Crawford delighted his many admirers by taking the second set G —2. It was a splendid performance, even although Quist was below form. Crawford's backhand and forehand were excellent.
