AUSTRALIA IN DOUBLES

CONCENTRATED ON MAKO CRAWFORD INTERVIEWED 0o!«ad Press Association— By Electric T»l»Krapb—CopyriElit. (Received June 1, 1 p.m.) PHILADELPHIA, May 31. Crawford explained to the lian Associated Press agency the technique which he and Quist used in th« final set of the doubles. "Of course one can only say that we got the breakt today," he said. "Luck was on oar sid« but it was quite obvious what tactici we had to adopt as the match progressed. Mako's game was failing and we played to him. The result wa» fortunate. "As for tomorrow I am through with predicting results. One never tells who will win a tennis match until the match is over." Mrs. Crawford was extremely elated. • "Two against one is a happy situation," she said. "I am relieved and very contented, and pleased at the way Jack played today. Tomorrow is something to look forward to." RETURN VISIT. Strenuous efforts are being made I® induce the Australian team to return to America for the national singles, but Crawford informed a correspondent that it was simply out of the question. He has both his regular work and a journalistic job to which he must return. It is understood that the Australian manager, Mr. Sproule, has been non-committal concerning the remainder of the team. The question of expenses will probably be the most important aspect The general feeling that has prevailed in'tennis circles tonight is that only a mischance can rob ; the Australians of victory tomorrow. . Quist's exceptionally fine play is considered to have improved immeasui*r ably his chances of accounting for 3 Budge, while Allison, unless he displays something of the form which was 1 his when he defeated Perry in the t United States national singles championship in 1935, cannot prevail against -1 Crawford.
