Mako And G.rant Soon Beaten In American Tourney. SABIN IS DISGRUNTLED. (Received 11 , noon.) MONTH KAL. August 1. In the lawn tennis tournament at Southampton (New York State) a surprise was created when Gene Mako. a member of the 1037 and 1038 unbeaten United States Davis Cup teams, was defeated in the second round by a comparatively unknown California!] player, Robert Peacock. The score was o—2,0 —2, :s—ti, 6—l.
In the first round another unknown competitor, Henry Prusoff, of Seattle, in two sets, eliminated B. M. Grant, who in 1937 beat both J. F. Bromwich and J. H. Crawford in the Davis Cup at New York, when Australia failed to win one of the five rubbers.
W. Sabin defaulted in the middle of his match against G. Mulloy and left the tournament because the committee refused to allow him to wear spikes.
