HOW JIRO YAMAGISHI WAS BEATEN AT WIMBLEDON
FAULTLESS TENNIS
AT START.
But Collapses After The Second Set
(By "Veritas")
Wimbledon, June 26.
After playing faultless tennis for two acts on a court rendered heavy by torrential rains which had fallen 24 hours earlier, Jiro Yamagishi eliminated himself from the Wimbledon championship to-day, when opposed to Gene Mako, the new American "Hope".
It would be more accurate to say! - that Yamagishi lost by 2-6, 2–6,1 G-2, 6-1, 6- than to aver that he was beaten by that scare. The bet ter player, that is judged by standards of pure tennis, lost on the day's clin= || play.
But full credit must be kiven to Mink for a spirited fight against odils which included some curious umpiring decisions.
Three times in the third set Yama- ginhi was given the benefit of his

occasion, was clearly a fault and from which Mako was forced to make erren. eous turns.
There was also an unfortunate irculent in the tourth game of the second set when Yamagishi, trall- ing at 1-2 served what looked to be
fault and which

in the middle of the tramlines. The umpire permitted the service but gave the point against Yamagishi.
