TENNIS More Seeds Go At Wimbledon

(A Z-P.A -Reuier— Copyright) LONDON, June 30. Wimbledon bathed in temperatures upwards of 80 degrees yesterday when two seeds were beaten and four British players reached the last 16 of the men’s singles.

This was the best performance by British tennis players at the championships since before World War 11.

Pietrangeli was beaten. 2-6. 6-3. 6-4. 6-4, by a 21-year-old American student, C. Crawford, while another American, Miss M. Arnold, knocked out Miss Turner. 7-5. 6-4 Britain's four in the last 16 are R. Wilson. M. Sangster. W. and R. Taylor. of Sheffield. Knight's match with the American. W. Bond, was the focal point of toe day.
