TWO "SEEDED" PLAYERS FALL BY! THE WAYSIDE
UPSETS CAUSED YESTERDAY IN MEN'S SINGLES McNeill. & Menzel Out of Wimbledon Tourney
London, June 28.-
Two upsets wore caused in to-day's play at Wimbledon, two "seeded" men players being eliminated from the singles. They are Donald McNeill, of the United States, who recently won the French championship and the third "secded" player of the tournament; and Roderich Monzel, of Gormany, who was beaten by an almost unknown player, Smith, of the United States.
Rain caused half an hour of stoppage to-diny.
The first real surprise of the tournament was the defent of Don MeNeill, of America, who was beaten by the "unseeded" Yugoslav Davis Cup player, F. Kukuljevic, by 6-4, 7-5, 6-1 In the second round of the men's singles. It will be reculled that Kukuljevic also beat "Bunny" Austin in the Queen's Club grass- court chumpionships last week.
