EXHIBITION MATCH In a Davis Cup exhibition match, Quist and Schwartz v. A. Huxley and D. Turnbull, play was abandoned when the score was 4-6, 6-3, 10-10. McGrath in rare form The McGrath-Bromwich match was generally conceded to be up to Davis Cup standard. McGrath was in rare form. He seldom missed a smash and so placed it as to be quite impossible of return. Bromwich won two sets almost as he liked but McGratn dominated the other three.
