LEG CRAMP FORCES BUCHHOLZ TOA WIMBLEDON JOB FOR LONDON
RETIRE AFTER MISSING 5 MATCH POINTS AGAINST FRASER MACKAY ELIMINATED BY PIETRANGELI
London June 27.
Earl Buchholz, 19-year-old American, hobbled off the centre court at Wimbledon today, forced to retire through injury after missing five match points against the Australian favourite, Neale Fraser.
As the plucky St Louis six-footer gripped his left thigh with his face contorted in agony, the umpire solemnly announced: "Buchholz retires, Fraser wins."
Fraser's fortunate win by 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 13-15 put him into the semi-finals of the men's singles.
Little Chilean just outsteadied and J. Scott (South Africa) the tail blond Swede

A Little 3 hours and 50 minutes of more agility on the part of sparkling, breath-taking all-Llama might have resulted in court tennis which was worthy the elimination of sixth seeded of a final.
