United Pres3 Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received June 27, noon.) LONDON, June 26. The Wimbledon lawn tennis tournament was continued today, when further progress was made in the singles competitions. The weather was fine and warm. Two of the New Zealanders, Malfroy and Stedman, were beaten, but , Andrews entered the third round." Malfroy appeared to have Pahnieri , beaten, but the tenacious little Italian j veteran was too consistent in a Marathon match. • . AUSTRALIAN SUCCESSES. ' When Hopman met Stedman it was anyone's match until the third set had been i completed. Hopman found Stedman's forehand more severe than he ; had imagined, and Stedman had the j Australian doing most of the running. I The New Zealander smashed severely, '! but Hopman awaited his opportunity to I slice and chop in order to gain the ,'net. ! Crawford, from the back of the court, easily vanquished Kirby, the Australian driving powerfully and accurately. I Ellmer (Switzerland) had the worst j of a succession of long-driving duels with Quist. McGrath won with surprising ease against so aggressive a player as Tuckey. ' Borotra gave Menzel a'fright. Borotra led several times in the final set, but Menzel managed to win after i twenty games had been played in the 1 fifth set.' . THE DAY'S RESULTS. Today's results include: — MEN'S SINGLES.
