In Men's Doubles

Mangin And Wood Eliminated By Perry And Hughes

By A. WALLIS MYERS,

London, June 30. Wimbledon is not yet on its last legs, but there were signs yes- terday that the strain of nine days" locomotion is baginning to tell.

It is not so much that competitors have staled themselves by too much play; they may find the reaction of a day's rest more harmful to what is called form than continuous conflict. And how- ever much spectators may prefer a mixed salad for their daily fare, there is no question that the interlarding of singles with doubles. each with their different strokes and different psychology, tends at "the end of a fortnight to lower the standard of play.
