Before that J. H. Crawford in a pitiless half-hour against H. Henkel, of Ger- many, had won the first two acts by 6–2, 6–2 when Henkel, not fully recovered from a recent chill, retired.

GAME ANNULLED Sequel To Victory Over Austria
Lima, August 10.
The President of the Peruvian Republic has ordered the withdrawal of Peru from the Olympic Games as a protest against the action of the International Football Federation in annulling Peru's 4 to 2 victory in the football match against Austria.
The match was ordered to be replayed because during the game a section of the Peruvian supporters invaded the field and attacked some of the Austrian players.
The people of Lima are incensed over the decision, and are holding street meetings, while the newspapers are issuing special editions declaring that all the South American delegations should withdraw from the Garnes as a demonstration of solidarity with Peru-Reuter.
