THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
Jaroslav Drobny Eliminated
In Wimbledon's First Upset
Wimbledon, Surrey, June 22.-Giane Cucelli, stocky 32-year-old. Italian champion from Milan, provided the first big upset in the Wimbleon, tennis championships today when he beat the filth seeded player, Jaroslav Drobny, the Czech lefthander, who had been strongly fancied by many to win the title this year.
In a fine second round match of more than two hours, Cucelli won by 6-4, 16-14, 1-6,-2-6, 6-3, and the result illustrates the open, nature of this year's men's singles event.
Cucelli won the first set fairly comfortably and then ensued a dramatic 30-game second set, which lasted an hour, and the spirited Italian won the set finally by some remarkable tennis, in which he saved two set points. The first 20 games in this sot went with service.
Little Filipino Brings The Crowd To Its Feet
By JOHN DOWNES
London, June 22.-Raymundo Deyro kept the Philip pine flag flying at Wimbledon today by defeating the only British peer in the tournament, Lord Ronald Shay 6-0, 6-3, 6-3.
Ilis victory came simultaneously with the defeat of the tournament's smallest player, Filipino Felicisimo Ampon, by six foot Dutchman Dr Hans Van Swal, 8-6, 6-2, 6-7, 7.5.
If tiny Ampon, only five feet three inches, was dc- feated, he certainly went down fighting and the giant Dutchman afterwards said that he had seldom been in a more gruelling tennis duel.
The doctor used his great height to smash down Ampon's many lobs, but undeterred, the little Filipino car- ried most games in the match to deuce.
The crowd, which had roared with delight when the two players first appeared, with giant Van Swol's arm around the shoulders of his opponent, were clearly on the side of Ampon.
On Monday at his first appearance on the famed centre court, Ampon snatched a neat victory from Spaniard Jose Bartoli. In the final set of today's battle, Ampon, after being three games down, fought back to level the score at five-all with the full stands roaring approval.
He greeted their clapping with a grin and calmly served to the obviously tired Dutchman. But inches won the day and Ampon ended his two days of tennis glory with the cheering of British tennis fans stili ringing in his cars, Associated Press.

London, June 22.-W. J. Edrich, who has not had a very good season with the bat so far, gave a welcome sign of a return to his best form by making a century for Middle- sex against Essex today.
