drawn. Budge and Gene Make of Los Angeles were pitted against Crawford and Quist.

Before the draw, the series was regarded as 50-50 proposition, but the Allison—Quist development made Australia generally a 5 to 4 favorite.

PARIS, May-29—»I"md. Perry and Christian Bousua moved into the semi-finals of the French hardi court tennis championship today, } but it was 20-year-old Boris Man- eff, Bulgar-Swiss. who caught the crowd's eye.

A virtual unknown in inter- national tennis before entering this tournament, Mhxieff gave Perry many anxious moments before the defending champion could gain his place in the last four.

Uncorking a series of hard fore- hand drives and a. fastrbreakinx service, Maneff gave the British Davis Cup see a good battle before Perry could win at 9-7, 6-3. 4-6. 6-3.

Andre Merlin, seeking to Sam 9- | place on the French Davis Cup . team, carried his compatriot. Boussus. to five sets before how- mg, 1-8, 6-3, 7-5, 1-6 6-1. Every game except two went to deuce and Merlin's showing was so good . that officials of the French ten- nis federation indicated he would be given a chance in later cup play. ‘

Boussus and Perry will meet in l the semi-finals.

The other semi-finalists Will be determined tomorrow after Gott- fried Von Cramm of Germany has played Bernard Destremeau of 1 France, and "Bunny" Austin of , England has encountered Marcel Bernard of France.
