Bromwich, who is rapidly playing himself into the Davis Cup team, outplayed Turnbull at all stages, losing only four games; In the Doubles quarter-finals the ' winners were Misses J. Hartigan and M. Blick, V. Selwin and A. 'Hattersley, T. Coyne and N. Wynne and Mesdames Westacott and Hopman, PROFESSIONALS ON TOUR VINES WINS AGAIN' RICHMOND (Virginia), Jan. 27. (Received Jan. 28, at 0.5 a.m.) Vines defeated Perry 6—3, 3—6, 6—4, before a crowd of 3000, including the Governor. The American’s powerful game under control, smashing service and returns were too much for Perry, who played a steadier game, but was unable to cope with the power of Vines’s shots.
