ANOTHER SURPRISE.

The score was 11—9. 3-L6, 7—5, ti—3. This was the second major upset of the tourney, as Miss Joan Hartigau, the 1936 woman champion, was eliminated the previous day .-by Miss D. Stevenson (Victoria), 4—6, 6—3, 6—4. Hopman out-geueralled Quist with clever variations of his fame, which upset Quist, causing him to lose much of his customary accuracy. Crawford, owing to being less enthusiastic than his young; opponent, went perilously close to being beaten. Bromwieh, who is rapidly playing himself into the Davis Cup team, outplayed Turnbull at all stages, losing only four games. Results:—Singles : Bromwieh beat Turnbull (South Australia), 6—2, 6—2. 6—o; Crawford beat L. Schwartz (South Australia), 6—3, 2—6. 3—6. 6—2, 6—3; McGrath beat A. Kay (Victoria), 6-2, 6—2, B—6.
