WIN FOR QUIST.

FILIPINO BEATEN. NEW YORK, July 14. In a singles match in the Davis Cup series, Adrian Quist boat Sanchez (Philippines), 6—l, 6—2, 6—2. Regarding the inter-zone finals, the discussion is developing a variety of interesting features. United States tennis officials point out that, upon agreement with the European Davis Cup Committee in February, the American authorities put the national doubles feature a week ahead, and awarded the doubles, and the inter-zone final to the Boston Longwood Cricket Club. Incidentally they underwent considerable expense in preparing for the inter-zone final and would be reluctant to relinquish it. It is agreed that if the inter-zone final were held at Montreal the gate would unquestionably be higher. The unofficial suggestion is made here that perhaps the Canadian authorities would recompense Longwood for the initial expenses, and the European zone winners, in order to meet Mr Hopman’s objections, could agree to participate in the national doubles along with the Australians. It would then, perhaps, bo possible to hold the inter-zone final at Montreal.

The present dates are: For the doubles, the week beginning August 13; inter-zone final, August 24-26.
