London, June 24.

The Wimbledon lawn tennis championships to-day opened in sweltering heat before an attendance of approximately 6,000 spectators. There was a sensation in the first round of the singles championship when Vivian McGrath, the young Australian Davis Cup player, who lost all his recent matches in this competition, eliminated Wilmer Allison, the leading American player in four sets. A number of notable names appear among the first round winners, Fred Perry, the present holder of the title, G. von Cramm, the German champion, Jack Crawford, the Australian champion, Sidney Wood, the American player and Jean Borotra, still the idol of the Wimbledon crowd, all entering the second round.
