Kingscote beat Mavrogordato 6-0, 1-8, 6-4. Shimidzu beat Lycett 6-3, 9-11, 3-6, 6-2, 10-8. LONDON, June 26. Herbert Bourke, writing in the "Sunday Telegram,” protests against the Lycett match not being stopped. It is stated that Lycett was suffering from a touch of sunstroke. He may have been plucky, but had to be nursed by the constant sponging of his head, which was unfair to Shimidzu. Towards the end there were frequent cries from the spectators of "play” and "get on with it.’ If Shimidzu had been beaten. there probably would have been an ugly scene. DAVIS CUP. Recd 1 p.m. LONDON, June 27. The final selections for the Indian Davis Cup team are: Jacobs, Deane (doubles), Jacobs and Sleem (singles), and A H. Fyzee (first reserve singles).
