Saturday's conditions at Wimbledon-intermittent showers breaking the thread of play and changing the pace of the court-- were not made for great tennis. Yet Austin' and Perry supplied enough of it to dash Australia's hopes and gain two handsome victories.
Beating Crawford for the first time in a "best-of five" match, Austin won 4–6, 6–3, 6—1, 6-1, and then, after a contest of strange vicissitudes, Perry beat Quist 6-1, 4-6, 7--5, 6—2.
A packed and animated gallery, totalling nearly 16,000, had their thrill, too, în spite of the interruptions. If the first match lacked the excitement of fierce competition the second provided all the elements of a great match except a stimulating finish.
It was unfortunate for Craw-1 ford that he found the centre court, if not as damp, some- times as much obscured by heavy clouds, as when he last appeared on it in singles at the
