(Receved June 29, at 11 a.m.) The Australians provided to-day’s thrill at Wimbledon, when Turnbull and Quist, in their debut on the nervetesting centre court, decisively crushed the American doubles champions, whom the committee ranked the second best pair in the tournament. They frequently made the giant Vines look mediocre. The match was notable for the Australians’ display of grit when they were two sets in arrears, sending the spectators into transports of delight. Turnbull was the star of the match, hitting spectacular winners, pouncing on short lobs and killing them instantaneously, and rattling the Americans. Quist improved towards the end and ably supported his partner. Gledhill made few ; errors, but Vines was erratic.

Crawford played beautiful and aggressive tennis against Geutien, exploiting every stroke and scoring winners all round the court.

M'Grath found Lee too vigorous, resourceful, and persistent in retrieving. M'Grath was never able to settle down and could do nothing against the serving and driving onslaught. He was beaten within an hour.

Stedman had a two-hour ..struggle against Condon. He was so distressed at the end of the third set that he sent the ball boy for successive cups of tea with plenty of sugar.” He derived sufficient stimulation to survive, although he was behind (0-3) in the fifth set, winning six games in a row for the match.
