United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Juno 27.

The Wimbledon tennis tournament was continued to-day in overcast weather. Most of the prominent players were successful and the New Zealander E. D. Andrews played his way into tho fourth round.

Four Englishmen, threo Australians, three Americans, a New Zealander, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, a German, a Yugoslavian, and a Czechoslovakian comprise tho 16 survivors of the 1-8 starters in the men’s singles. Andrews survived to meet Austin by eliminating Oliff, a polished . stroke player who docs not shine in long matches.

Budge’s celebrated backhand worked splendidly against Quist, often leaving tho Australian standing. Tho American won convincingly". Tho McGrath v. Martin Lcgeay match was patchy, the Frenchman linding that his customary accuracy had deserted him.

Crawford had a hard fight against Hecht, the sturdy Czechoslovakian youth, who mado many magnificent recoveries.

Van Ryn, appreciating tho faster surface, gave Perry a fright and extended the champion to 18 gamos in the fourth set. He showed that a strong not attack to Perry's backhand paid. Airs. Wills-Moody was in brilliant mood against Miss Yorkc. She played a mixed game, using hard drives and short, slow shots. PLAY IN SINGLES To-day’s results include: — MEN’S SINGLES. (Holder, F. J.

Duel Reported Unlikely

LONDON, June 27.

Mr. Harry ILopman has informed the “Sun-Herald” that it seems unlikely a duel will be fought because tho Davis L’up Committee did not ask Borotra to play in the singles. Being anxious to develop young men for the future Brugnon was dropped in tho doubles for the same reason. Ho was of opinion that pressure was brought after the explanation permitting an amicable settlement.
