WIMBLEDON TENNIS
QUIST FAVOURED FOR TITLE Tn the opinion of nt least one compoton t tennis critic in Engl ami, .Stanley Dousfc, Adrian Qnist, the young Australian Davis Cup plavor, is now favourite for next year's Wimbledon championship. Qnist has left England for home with Clifford Sproulo, manager of the Australian team, after winning the Derbyshire championship at Buxton and the North of England championship at Scarborough without losing a set. American critics rank him No. 4 among the world's best 10, but ho is considered worthy of a higher place in England. His showing against von Cramm, when with his ankle badly hurt, he nearly won the match in five sets, and his victory over Austin in the final round of the Davis Cup, have impressed English critics more than favourably.
