London, June 30.
Wimbledon is not yet on its last legs, but there were signs yes. terday that the strain of nine days' locomotion is barinning to tell. It is not so much that competitors have staled themselves by o Rinch play; they may find the reaction of a day's rest more armful to what is called form than continuous conflict. And how- her much spectators may prefer a mixed salad for their daily fare, There is no question that the interarding of singles with doubles, ach with their different strokes and different psychology, tends at the end of a fortnight to lower the standard of play.
Capt. H. V. B. Benfield and J. B. Mackie created a sen- sation in the Happy Valley Foursomes when they elimin- ated J. G. Campbell and W. Woodward, who were con- sidered in many quarters to be
the ultimate winners. Benfield and Mackie, who in the Second Round only de- feated R. F. Clark and R. M. Wood on the 38th green, won by 2 and 1. "Benfield and Baker will now meet the winners of the match between C. B. Robertson and

New York, July 18. Jack "Kid" "Berg of England won an unpopular decision over Kid Chocolate, Cuban featherweight, in their 15-round scrap here

The bout was one of the fastest seen here in many months ag both contestants were in top form. Kid Berg will now meet Tony< Canzoneri for the title in September.
The Cuban fish led most of the way, pounding Berg with some of his celebrated pile-drivers. He had the Englishman guessing at times. Berg scored, the most blows of
