To accomplish this the Chinese Cuppers played sparkling Davis Misa tennis. They were much too fast and powerful for the opposition who had no counter for some daring volleys and terrific smashes.

The removal of Mrs. Fabyan is going to mean a great deal to players like Miss Kay Stammers, Senorita Lizana and Dorothy Round, as she was con- sidered, next to Miss Helen Jacobs, as the most serious of the overseas challengers for the women's title,

London, June 20..

Henry Cotton showed the utmost contempt, for his stroke of bad luck on Monday when, after breaking the coure re- cord at Hoylake in the British open golf championship, his effort was nullified by the de- cision of the committee toi abandon the day's play.

To-day he replayed his first round and again smashed the course record, revealing super- | lative form over a lengthened

course to return a card of 68. Beri Gadd on the Wallasey Course was also in his most brilliant form to send in a similar score..,
