LAWN TENNIS.
NEW ZEALANDERS AT WIMBLEDON. ! trnoit ovn owji cohbespokdewt.) ; LONDON, July 11. E. D. Andrews, tho New Zealand tennis player, who came victoriously through the first three rounds of the Singles Championship at Wimbledon, failed at the fourth round. He beat Willard Brugnon (France), and Greig (Great Britain) in succession, but his fourth opponent was W. T. Tilden (United States). Of this match "The Times" correspondent writes: Tilden had always a great store in keeping from which he could in the moment of need produce something which would entirely confound his opponent. Andrews stood up manfully to him, and there was no cannon ball before which he would flinch. Indeed, ho won quite as frequently on Tilden's service as he did at any other time. Nothing had any terrors for him, and he was steadier under a fierce attack than when fortune smiled on him. Tilden's play was so manysided that there was never any doubt of .tho result. Every stroke came naturally to him, and in each he showed the hand of the master. Andrews is a big, strong man, but he does not play in the hardhitting, smashing style of Gregory. The essence of his play is steady persistency. He does not go out to win quickly, but bides his time patiently. He kept Tilden playing all the time till late in the third sert, and then Tilden had got fully into his stride and was playing with the fullest measure of confidence. He finished with one of hia few services that Andrews could not touch. The score was 6—4, 6—4, 6 —2. / Malfroy's Games. On the same day the other New Zealander, C. E.' Malfroy, in partnership with R. D. Poland, beat G. P. Hughes and H. G. N. Lee (7—5, 6—l, 6—4) in the second round of the Doubles Championship. Malfroy also won his match against A. W. Vinall (B—6, 2—6, 9—7) in the first round of the All-England Plate. He carried on to the second round, beating E. R. Avory (6 —2, 6—2), and to thfe third round, when he beat D. H. Williams (6—o, 6—4). In the fourth round his opponent, G. L. Tuckett, was scratched. In tho third round of the Doubles Championship, Malfroy and Poland wero beaten by J. H. Doig and G. M. Lott (7—5, 2—6, 14—12, 6—3). SUTTER DEFEATS MANGIN. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION— BY BLBCTBIO TELEGRAPH- —COPYRIGHT.} (Received August 18th, 7 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 17.
