Quist was rather upset by the Association's decision and after the meeting he said: "I am grieved and disappointed by the ungracious refusal of the suggestion."
Many people consider Quist's idea a very sound one, Quist and Bromwich were both instrumental in taking the Davis Cup from the United States last year, and Americans would welcome a series of matches between those two players and the leading United States amateurs. War charities would thus benefit a great deal from the matches.
There is no question of the Austra-lion players escaping military duties, because as Quist pointed out, he was rejected while Bromwich has completed his service.—Reuter.
