FRENCH TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIPS
Paris, May 29. A highly dramatic scene, similar to that which occurred in the historic Davis Cup match between Ellsworth Vines and Fred Perry at Stade Roland Garros last year, was enacted on the courts at Auteuil to-day, when Perry, limping heavily from a sprained ankle, walked up to Baron de. Stefani, the Italian ace, congratulated him on his victory, and then fell down in a dead faint.
Perry lighting against intense physical pain, and an opponent on the top of his form, became the third Englishman of the day to lose in the quarter-finals of the French championship. His defeat by Stefani was accomplished in four sets.
