ALL FOREIGN FINAL

IN NATIONAL DOUBLES

WIN FOR QUIST AND BROMWICH. BOSTON TENNIS TOURNEY. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 11.30 a.m.) BOSTON, August 21. Quist, and Bromwich defeated Hopman and Crawford. 8/6. 6/1. 6/4. in the first all-foreign final in the national tourney's fifty-eighth year of history, and the doubles title goes overseas for the first time since Brookes and Patterson's victory in 1919. Crawford entered the match not in .top due to a recurrence of athletes' foot, which he had previously suffered from. Twelve hundred people attended the match —a better crowd than was expected. Quist and Bromwich did not play up to their peak 'form of the past week, resulting in there being some speculation as to whether they were stalling before the next fortnight's more important contests. Despite the score the match was a close one all the way with most games going to deuce. Hopman serving the crucial tenth game. The first set had set point, but Crawford outed the smash and the set was deuced. Hopman’s service was finally broken in the fourteenth again, after staving off the final point twice.
