WINS SINGLES TITLE
MASTERLY PLAY AGAINST VINES
JAPANESE WIN AGAIN
CLOSING HOURS OF TOURNEY
An immense crowd, follow- ing for over two hours with breathless interest and uncon- cealed excitement one of the most thrilling and spectacular games of tennis ever seen, and breaking out into cheering which lasted five minutes was the enthralling scene on the Centro Court at Wimbledon yesterday, when Jack Craw- ford, the Australian, won the Men's Singles Championship from H. Ellsworth Vines, the tall Californian.
By this victory, Crawford realised. a promise which he had given from the moment he began the present European tour, and it will go down in posterity as one of the finest achievements of Wimble- don, for the success was gained at the expense of a world cham- pion playing at the height of his form. The scores in Crawford's
favour were:
4-6, 11-9, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. The match was really decided In the second set. Vines had wor the first and needed only the second virtually to make himself safe for the retention of the title. It was in the second set that Crawford rose to a brilliance In stroke play and tactics which nonplussed the American. le mastered Vines's service and re- turned the fiercest drives with interest and greater accuracy.
He himself nerved without blemish twentieth game broke ard at the through the loser's cannonball ser- vice and then won the set on his own delivery.
Vines dropped the third set with no sort of a tight, but he returned in the fourth to give an amazing dis- play of sustained brilliance.
SERVICE STRUGGLE.
"The"""final"set will go down-in history. Once again it developed into a struggle for service supremacy and for the second time Crawford proved the master. Biding his time until he the eighth game, he broke through and to the astonishment of the crowd won Vines's service to love. Nothing had been seen like it at Wimbledon
this year.
After that it was Crawford's match. He made no mistake on his own service, which was
and so severe cleverly placed that Vines was con- tinually forced returns.
