AUSTRALIA'S ‘BIG THREE' ADVANCE: BOROTRA WINS IN DOUBLES
(By A. WALLIS MYERS)
London. June 26. England's quota of survivors tops the list in Wimbledon's izst 160
After the third round in the singles was completed yesterday there were five home players still surviving. America and Aus- tralia each had three and the remaining fire, each an orphan in the Reid, were distributed among New Zealand, Germany, Czecho- slovakia, France and Spain.

Yesterday, superior class always commanding the stage, none the big men was ever threatened. and only one of them dropped a set.
The galleries were thicker than ever, but there was no attempted feat of glant-killing, and indeed no "needle" match to prevent a va-et-vient in search of a real thrill.

Perry, after losing three out of the first four games to Van Ryn. was off like an unbridled horse. Virtually he won two love sets, for his
