The London Lawn Tennis

Championships

H. O. Hopman Eliminated By Gandar Dower

AUSTRALIAN ERRATIC

JIRO SATOH IMPRESSES WITH ALL-ROUND DISPLAY.

London, June 16.

Following the defeat of Ellsworth Vines by Harry Hopman in the London tennis championships at Queen's Club yesterday, it was the prevailing opinion before play was resumed this afternoon that the little Australian would fight his way into the lower final bracket. K. C. Gandar Dower, the Cambridge all-round athlete and squash racquets player, upset all these theories, however, by elimin- ating Hopman.

The Australian was very erratic to-day - more so than against the American champion yesterday although he steadied down enough to take the second set. In the final session, Dower in- creased the vigour of his attack and took the sei al 6-3.

BREAKS RECORD.

While In Training For The Olympic Games.

:

Case, June 15.

A new world record over 400 metres was established to-day by the German relay team for the Olympic games which is in training here.

The team was composed of Gerling, Borchmeyer, Hendrix and Geerling and they covered the 400 metres in 40,7 seconds. The former record, establish- ed by a German team in 1928, was 41 seconds.

er of the world's record; Nammi, Llettu and Sipela, all of whom are capable of nearly seventy metres.

Sweden's best chance is likely to be in wrestling. Cadier, middle- weight grappler, is one of the cleverest wrestlers in the world. Among the other mat stars are Svensson. Thuvesson, Malmberg and Richthoff. Excellent swim- mers are also going to the games in addition to riders, riflemen and yacht racers. The complete "team will number about seventy in all.

Norway.

Norway will probably limit its efforts at Los Angeles by sending a comparatively small team of twelve men, having already con- centrated most of its athletic strength at the Olympic Winter Games.
