They Win First Round in Tennis Singles in Brit.
 ish Championships

Wimbledon, Eng, June 22.--(UP) --America's four outstanding men tennis players won their first- round singles matches today in the all-England championships. Three other entrants from the United States were eliminated. The four American victors were Brysn (Bitsy) Grant of Atlanta; Donald 9udge of Oakland, Cal, John Van Ryn of Philadelphia and Winner Allison of Texas, United States champion. Gerald Stratford of San Francisco; W. w. Robertson of Pasadena, Cal, and Hal Surface of Kansas City were eliminated Of the American big four, only "Bitsy" Grant had difficulty in opening play before more than 16,000 spectators. He won after a five.set struggle with Henner Henkel of the German Da- wis cup team. The score was 6-7, 3-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-2.
 Scrapcd Through
 The Georgian scraped through what may remain as the tightest match of the two-weeks tourney. Henkey out-generalled Bitsy during the first two sets, repeatedly Jockeying him out of position and then smashing close-range kills over the net. Bitsy was unable to handle the Germans cannon ball services. In the third set, Grant was trail- ing 3-6 when he rallied Inagnifi- gently. AS Bitsy surged ahead he. dropped only two points in the next four games. The fourth set went with services until Grant broke through in the tenth game. Tn the final set, the weary German cracked up and netted repeatedly.

DOCTOR APPEALS
 FROM DECISION
Claim $ll4 for Services Given Injured Factory
 EmplOye

An appeal to Che superior court from the refusal of Compensation Commissioner Leo Noonan to award him of a fee of $iI4 was filed today by pr. Edward H. Kirschbaum of this city. Comnis- sioner Noonan heard the case after Commissioner James M. Lynch had disqualified himself.
 Dr. Kirschbaurn claimed that pay- ment was due him for treatment given Edward Japs of l0 Camp street who was injured in 1929 while working for the Lux Clock Go. From 1929 to 1884, Dr. Kirschbaum was paid by the Employers Insur- ance company, but he claims that he received nothing for his services from October, 1884, to July, l936.
 Commissioner Noonan points out that the agreement to pay the doc- tor was made voluntarily by the parties concerned, but that 1t was made more than year after Japs' injury, which had not been reported during that time. As the result, he states, the late Commissioner Fred Fic M. Williams had no, authority to approve the voluntary agree- ment.

almost 100000 cases were unsold at

California peach growers associa-
tons formed a sterilization commit
tee to create new markets for the
crop and at the same time to main
tain fair prices. The sale was the
result Of this committees work.
It was essential that tremendous
retail outlets cooperate with the
growers If the sale were to be a sue
