(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.)
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27th, 1928.
There was glorious weather for the opening of the Wimbledon' meeting, and the courts were in eplendid condition. The attendance at the outset was small, as a start was made at an earlier hour than usual.
British Davis Cup players had a very bad day, and generally suffer ed rather ignominious defeat. The real sensation, however, was the defeat of the American, Hunter, by the young Cambridge Blac, E. An- drews, the New Zealand Champion.
Hunter was defeated by theer merit. On hearing the news of the including struggle, the crowd, Tilden, ruched tram the Centre Court to. No. 1. Both players were absolutely brilliant in the fifth set, Andrews being frequently applaud- ed for his fierce forehand drives and
amazing recoveries. Andrews' led 4-1, but Hunter drew level at 4-4. Hunter three times reached match point in the tenth game, but each time Andrewe rattled him with a
superb passing shot. The crowd gave a great ovation to the winner,

The case in which the Shun Po (Hong Kong Morning Post) was summoned by the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs for publish ing two articles urging & boycott. against Japan and for evading the censorship had its sequel in Court yesterday morning, when Mr. H. Somerset Fitzroy, assistant Attorney General made an application before Lieut.-Col. F. Eaves, at the Central Magistracy to reconsider certain parts of the judgment delivered on Wednes. day last against the printers and publisher of the SAnn Po.
It will bo remembered that after a protracted hearing, his Worship on Wednesday last gave judgment and sentenced the pub lisher and printers to one month's imprisonment each, in addition to a fine of 825 each for disregarding the censorship rules. The printers were also fined $250 each for advocating the Japanesa boycott and the publisher was fined 8500 for the same offence.
The Magistrate also suggested that the Shun Po should make. an apology to Japan through the medium of the papera
Leave to appeal was granted, and the defendants were to come before the Court within 24 hours to furnish security and bail. The specified time expired and the defendants failed to appear. It was then learned that the Shun Po had ceased publication and that the premises were in charge of two fokić
