FINE FORM

HUGHES & MAKO HAVE BAD LUCK

MISS YORKE ELIMINATED

(By A. WALLIS MEYERS)

London, June 25. INTEREST at Wimbledon visibly quickened yesterday. After all the men's singles, the senior event, is the piece de resist- ance, and its resumption, after a day's interval, brought over- flowing galleries and a keen desire to see the big men in action.

The seeded eight were all keyed-up for stern combat, and all came through, with one exception, without sacrificing a set That the champion would be found among them was certain.

But who the survivor will be on Saturday week relative form did nothing to solve.

Jean Borotra, sbove, took a plane from Paris for his First Round doubles match only to find his partner, Jacques Brugnon, badly in need of sticking plaster as the result of a nasty bilater on his thumb. Borotra's valet came to the rescue.

If F. J. Perry satisfied his supporters by his rampant pro- gress against Siam's only representative, Crawford and Budge were equally accomplished; Allison, if less free from error, was the stubborn gladiator, Baron Von Cramma the efficient winner of earned points, and "Bitsy Grant the only one to start un-brilliant volleys on the run, even-sed a strip of matchless plaster, and
