BRITAIN HAS BAD DAY: AUSTIN LOSES TO COOKE: U.S.- EUROPEAN FINAL?

י

WIMBLEDON, July 4. (Reuter)-The weather kept fine and sunny and there was a slight breeze at Wimbledon yesterday when the Tennis Championships were continued.

There was an early surprise in the Men's Singles, Henkel (Germany) eliminating Kukuljevic (Yugoslavia) with surprising case in three straight sets 6-1, 6-3, 6-2, but the biggest disap- pointment to British players was Austin's defeat by Elwood Cooke (U.S.) also in three straight sets 6-3, 6-0, '6÷1. ́ ́ ́.

Austin's Poor Form Cooke's win over Austin was also surprisingly easy. Austin showed that he was only a shadow of his former self, although he gave oc- E.casional. flashes ...of brilliance.
