SUNDRY SPORTS.

BOXING. [By Eliotkio Tilisgraph—Copyright] {.United Prebs Association.] Received 1.20 p.m.) London, June 21. Young Ahearne and Carpentier have been matched for a purse of £SOOO in London in August. ATHLETICS. Applegarth, at Stamford Bridge, equalled the. world's record for running two hundred metres. TENNIS. WILDING ON THE PROSPECTS. (Received 9.10 a.m.) London, June 22.

Wilding, reviewing the prospects for Wimbledon, said Brookes was the outstanding personality of the meeting. His first service is not quite as accurate as in 1907, and had lost some of its terrors with familiarity, but his game still shows the masterhand. Doust has been suffering from neuritis in the right shoulder, but should reach the semi-final. He is one of the fastest men in the court I ever met. His volleying is a delight to watch. The final should rest between Brookes, Parke, Doust, and Lowe, though Froitzheim and Decugis must bo reckoned with. Brookes will

probably reach the challenge round. Dunlop and Harding aro a promising pair in the doubles. (Received 10.55 a.m;);" ...-i to< London, June 22.

At Wimbledon in the first round of the singles, Moss beat Kidstone (retired) 4—6, 6—2, 3—l; Doust beat Franklin, 6—l, 6—2, 6—2; Dunlop beat Wilson-Fox, b—2, 6—2, 6—o; Parke beat Dixon, 11—9, B—l, 6—3 v Parke was often inaccurate, but drove in his best form. The winners included F. Lowe, Gore, Decugis, Germot, Beamish. In the second round, beat Dawn, 6—o, 6—o, 6—o. Dawn drove excellently, but Brookes was invincible at the net. Doust and Dunlop were not extended. Kidston was ,much below form for the third and fourth sets.
