ANDREWS'S STAMINA FAILS

TENNIS IN HEAT WAVE

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June .29. Heat-wave conditions were experienced for the continuation of the Wimbledon tournament today, and huge crowds were present. Taking the first set from Austin from 0-3 behind, JE. D. Andrews (New Zealand), finding the, Englishman below his best, might have sprung a surprise, as it was not until the fourth set that Austin was able to control his strokes. Austin, who in such weather is sometimes vulnerable to a player of superior staying power, was soon able to play upon the New Zealander's palpable fatigue, and took the fourth set with the utmost ease. ' Crawford's form against Hughes was still patchy. His accuracy was uever long sustained and he often overdrove The Englishman, however, was unable to hold the Australian in baseline duels, although he drove deeply and lobbed welL Wood was aggressive against Hopman, who was unable to make the right shots at the right time until' late in the second set, when his forehand, which had formerly been terrible, improved, but the American's speed, fluency, and versatility left no doubt as to the result.' McGUATH IN GOOD FORM. . Contrary to expectations, Sharpe was outplayed by McGratli, who reached the peak of his form. The Australian reproducd his fearsome backhand and interspersed well-judged drop-shots with deep-angled drives, giving Sharpe much vain scurrying that resulted in fatigue. Menzel and Maier provided a battle of giants. They smote with rousing power. Menzel won1 convincingly. He remains as dangerous as anyone in the tournament, which is still remarkably open. The quarter-finalists meet on Monday. Perry will play against Menzel, Crawford against Wood, Budge against Austin, and McGrath. against yon Cramm. Yon Cramm informed.the Australian Press Association that it is now improbable that he will visit Australia. At the conclusion of the match in which Hopman and Mrs. Hopman defeated Lesueur and Madame Mathien, Madame Mathieu threw away her racket and declined to shake hands with her opponents. THE RESULTS.
