TWO "SEEDED" PLAYERS FALL BY

UPSETS CAUSED

YESTERDAY

IN

MEN'S SINGLES McNeill & Menzel Out of Wimbledon Tourney

London, June 28.

Two upsets were caused in to-day's play at Wimbledon, two "seeded" men players being eliminated from the singles. They are Donald McNeill, of the United Statos, who recently won the French championship and the third “secdod" player of the tournament; and Roderich Menzel, of Germany, who was beaten by an almost unknown player, Smith, of the United States.

Rain caused half RA hour of stoppage to-diny.

The first reat surprise of the tournament was the defeat of Don McNelll, of America, who was beaten by the "unseeded" Yugoslav Dayle Cup player, F. Kukuljevic, by 6-4, 7-5, 0-1 in the second round of the men's singles. It will be recalled that Kukuljevic also beat "Bunny" Austin in the Queen's Club Brass- court championships last week.
