WIMBLEDON TENNIS

FURTHER PROGRESS EPIDEMIC AFFECTS PLAYERS CRAWFORD MAY RETIRE (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) Received July 1, 7.5 p.m. LONDON, July 1. The weather was very warm at Wimbledon for the all-England tennis championships. The King and Queen were present and were greatly interested in the Perry—Quist match. Quist played as though he recognised he hud no chance from the beginning and showed erratic form. Perry took things seriously, seldom relaxing. Lott drew Hopman to the net and lobbed overhead, making Hopman chase impossible balls and causing him to tiro quickly. Lott displayed superior courtcraft. Vou Cramni played against doctor’s orders. Kerby was thereby lucky to win and get a place in the last eight. Boussus made a great fight against Shields, only tho latter’s superior serving bringing victory and demoralising his opponent. Turnbull and McGrath advanced another round, defeating the New Zealanders Andrews and Stedman, although erratic play caused them to lose every game in the third set. Crawford remained in bed on Saturday and rested his throat. He should be fit to play Stoefen on Monday. Further results are as follows: —

In their singles game yesterday, Yamagishi early worried Crawford with strong driving on both wings, coupled with dcadlincss in stop-volley-ing. Crawford then realised the need for keeping a good length, and playing the baseline game, let his opponent beat h’mself. An epidemic of inflamed throats is worrying the players. The victims include Crawford And Cramm, and the latter was permitted to postpone his match against Kirby. There is a possibility that Crawford and Cramm will not take further part in the tournament. Crawford’s throat was worse after the match. However he is improving. TO VISIT AUSTRALIA THREE ENGLISH PLAYER 3 Received July 1, 7.5 p.m. LONDON, July 1.
