TRIUMPH OF QUIST FIRST FOREIGNER TO WIN IN FOURTEEN YEARS. „ (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) BOSTON, July 23. Quist is the first foreigner to win the historic Longwood Bowl since Gerald Patterson did in 1925. Quist was never in danger as he ran Mako round the court scoring placements at will. Quist raced through the first set in thirteen minutes winning five games in a row with the loss of eight points. The second set was almost a replica of the first. Mako braced up briefly in the third set and his shots temporarily were as accurate as Quist’s. The Australian broke out in rash errors in the third set and Mako led 3/2. But Quist rallied and started rushing the net again volleying past Mako and angling overhead shots accurately. Mako played his best tennis of the tournament ■ but Quist was far too good.

A message from Vancouver said that Hopman told the Australian Associated Press that: "A long trip to Havana J**®* was out of the question, particularly as Havana has hard courts. It is almost certain that we will play Cuba at Montreal on the same dates as already arranged or, failing that, somewhere in the eastern states."
