ALL-ENGLAND TITLES

PLAY IN CLASSIC TENNIS TOURNAMENT

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright LONDON, July 26. The All-England lawn tennis championships were continued at Wimbledon to-day. The weather was fine and

Crawford, from the back court, easily vanquished Kirby, the Australian driving powerfully and accurately. Elmer, of Switzerland, had the worst of the long-driving duels with Quist. McGrath won with surprising ease against so aggressive a player as Tuckey. The match between Hopman and Stedman was anyone’s match until the third set was completed. Hopman found Stedman’s forehand more severe than he imagined. The Australian was doing most of the running. The New Zealander smashed severely, but Hopman awaited the opportunity to slice and chop to gain the net. Borotra gave Menzel a fright. Borotra led several times in the final set, but Menzel managed to win after 20 games had been played in the fifth set. The results to date are as follows: MEN’S SINGLES. Second Round: J. H.
