LUSTY MATCH
Last Eight In Lawn Tennis Championships
-(By H. S. Scrivener)
London, July 1.
The tale of the last eight in the men's singles at Wimbledon is complete. Three of them, F. J. Perry, D. Budge, and G. Von Cramm, had emerged on Friday, and the other five are R. Menzel, who meets Perry in the first quarter, J. H. Crawford and S. B. Wood, who meet each other in the second, H. W. Austin, who meets Budge in the third, and V. B. McGrath, who plays Von Cramm in the last quarter. The unseeded survivors are Budge, who beat C. Boussus (seeded No. 8) on Friday, and McGrath, who beat W, Allison (seeded No. 5) in the first round,
