London, July 1.

FREEMAN, the Kent wizard spin bowler, is this season more 'devesta- ting than ever. His latest achievement against War- wickshire, when Kent won by 74 runs in two-days, was to take 17 wickets for 92 runs-an amazing perform- ance..His figures read: First Innings: wickets for 31

In direct contrast to the recent windfalls of runs which have been the happy lot of batsmen through- out the country, this match was productive of only 620 runs for 20 wickets.

Bowlers held the upper hand throughout, for, in addition to Freeman's feat, Foster, the War- with trundler, enjoyed a splendid match, taking a total of 11 wickets for 163 runs. In Kent's Arst 81. innings he captured 5 whilst Mayer secured the remain- der for five runs apiece, and in his second period with the ball Foster sent back six batsmen for 82 runs,

This rapid victory will be certainly compared in pugilis- tie circles with that of the French boxer Carpentier over the Englishman Jue Beekeit, in 1919, at London. That hou was also for the European middleweight title, which was wrested by Carpentier within 16 seconds, after having giv ing exactly three blows,

Kent scored 174 and 109, and Warwickshire were dismissed for 129 and 148.

Roderich Menzel and Fri. Hilde Krahwinkel emerged as victors of the championship of the German capital during one of the warmest Whitesuntides that Berlin has over enjoyed. Menzel won the singles championship also in 1931, and thus his name is, now engraved for the second time on the tablet which the Rot-Weiss Club has affixed to the wall in one of the rooms of Ita club-house in memory of tho former German champion, Hans Moldenhauer, who was killed in an automobile accident last year.

BRILLIANT WINNER.

The new champion, by birth a German Bohemian and at the head of the Czechoslovakian Davis Cup team, was at the top of his form. Not even Brugnon could win a net from him in the final, and Gottfried von Cramm, German's young Davis Cup player, succumbed to him by G-4. defeated-6-3 6-3 the me score with which Brugnen was Brugnon, who had high hopes of becoming champion of Berlin, gave spicndid exhibition of his skill at the net and in middle court, but Menzel overwhelnted him with his service, and drove him to the back- court with top-spin drives.
