Heavy showers fell at Wimbledon early this morning, and the uncertain state of the weather affected the attendance for the opening matches of the world's most important tennis champion ship, with the result that there was plenty of room around the courts.

Tloczynski is one of Poland's leading players, having represented that country in several inter- national matches. He has victories over H. G. N. Lee, H. Timmer and L. Hecht to his credit. Sydney Wood, one of the chief challengera this year, beat Vivian McGrath, young Australian "hope" after a splendid match. Wood, playing with more power than when he won the champlon ahip by defualt in 1931, served many aces and was altogether too fast for McGrath, who was clearly dazzled by the concentrated

energy, allied with accuracy, of his opponent.
