WIMBLEDON'S OPENING DAY'S
PLAY DESCRIBED
HENKEL DROPS SUBSTANTIAL LEAD TO AMERICAN
(By A. Wallis Myers).
London, June 23.
WIMBLEDON opened yesterday in its traditional sunshine and with its 16 courts surrounded by surging crowds, anxious to see the stars that had come from every State. All the courts may not That could not be have been of the same pace for the ball's run. after a sequence of nocturnal thunderstorms. The turf in some is pro- tected by tarpaulins; the majority have no umbrella which can be raised and lowered by the management.
Not that recent rains had yielded a surface too slow for speed and skill to flourish, only that young Continentals, coming to a grass surface for the first time and missing the higher and slower bound of sand,. must not be judged after a first-day encounter with novel con- ditions. The eight seeded players had a comparatively easy first day, with one remarkable exception, and his contest--Bryan M. Grant, of Atlanta, U.S.A. v. H. Henkel, of Germany- was the feature of a programme not too exciting for an enervating afternoon.
Bitsy has done it again!" was the triumphant song of the Americans some of whom had been caught at the post in their own country by this tenacious little player from the Southern States when Grant, after looking a loser all over, had survived-a struggle of over two hours. It was never a match of superlative termis, but then Grant does not come out to play a game of classic strokes or burning speed. He is there to vindicate the gospel of patience and industry mixed with trading guile. The "Court Hornet" they call him in the newspapers of his own land.
