THE
DRAMATIC MOMENTS
AT WIMBLEDON.
Tilden Tells of Attack of Convulsions.
www.comm
London, July 3. Many times Wimbledon produces drama that is very potent.
The agonies that the spectators suffer watching the favourites are real and quite terrible to the individual but at times rather comic to the impersonal spectator if any there be.
CHINA
MAIL.
until Allison started to leave the
court that the hurricane of applouses burst. One could feel the tension i of the crowd, its actual living pre- sence, all through, my tremendous
battle with Boratra. I know of
nowhere in the world where one can sense crowd reactions and get so close to the living spirit of the crowd as in the contre court at Wimbledon.
Every year develops now sonsa- tions on the court and as each year piles up now and different crowd reactions the centre/court gains in atmosphere and tradition. Freo, Preas.
GRIMSBY'S POLICY..
One of the tragi-comic moments becurred in the great Allison- Cochet match, with Allison leading 3-5 and two sets, Cochet securing
I have seen a lot in the Press the final game.
I was sitting in about Grimsby Town's policy in not the front row of the stand some spending money on players, writes distance away from Captain R-Bra correspondent to the Athletic Dixon of the American Davis Cup News. They have shown the big Team. All through the match he purse clubs that they can develop and I had exchanged aralles of their own players from local talent, pleasure at Allison's great play, which I consider is a great credit coupled at times with looks of pain to them and a lesson to all clubs. at tense moments. Allison missed a close shot for 30-15 and I clutch- ed my hair and rocked back and forth apparently in agony and gazed across at Dixon. He had almost disappeared behind the box railing, his head clutched in both hands, apparently about to die in horrible torture. He glanced up. just as I emerged from my convul- sion, and caught my eye. We both burst out laughing, but it was nothing to the laugh we gave an unbiased spectator.
Gallery Works Up To A High Pitch.
Tension, excitement, works up the risibilities of a gallery to a high pitch. The gallery finds something funny in things that are not in the slightest amusing under ordinary conditions. A ball boy, attempting to pick up a ball, misses It in a close match and the crowd will howl with mirth. The only effect ia to worry both players. Borotra will put on a dry beret and the crowd will laugh itself hoarse. What is funny about it? Nothing! Only a relict from tension.
A net cord shot, a miss-hit ser. vice off the wood, a cracked voice from an umpire, a linesman hit by a ball, a player falling down, none of which would cause a antile in an easy match, will rock a gallery with hysterical mirth in a bitterly fought match, with the result sometimes of costing a player his concentration and with it his match. It is a pity that a gallery that is wrought up to such a high tension will not consider for moment how much greater the ten- ston must be for the players who are engaged in the battle that has so worked up the gallery.

THE PENALTY LAW.
1 think there has been so much controversy over the penalty klek that the law calls for some altara- tion.
I do not agree with the Scottish proposal to award the kick from the spot where the offence was commit- fed. I would take the ball back to the extent of the penalty area, In
a direct line from the spot where the offence was commit- ted. That would give the goal- keeper a chanceAthletic News Correspondent.
