Grant Is Outclassed.
Except for rally in the first set
when he won three straight games
to pull up even at three all, Grant was
outclaSsed. Perry attacked the net
vigorously to take the opening set.
Perry simply had too many guns
and gave the game but outclassed lit
tie American little chance to exploit
his famous retrieving The Briton
went to the net frequently and scored
placements almost as he pleased to
win the second set
Perry also won the final set as he
pleased, beating Grants last service
at love. The champions drives skipped
off the grass too fast to allow Grant
time to reach them.
Bulge was not extended at all in
breaking Quist's service in the first
and seventh games, to take the open
ing set. Quist spilled heavily on the
wet turf and twice injured his racquet
hand.

Quist led 80 in the third set, and
then Bulge bore down and took three
consecutive games at love to leave no
doubt as to his superiority. The
American won the set, Ga, and the
match, as Quist was nearly exhausted
at the end from continual running
from corner to corner.

thing at Allison's weak backhand.

in the second set, the match was in
terrupted by a heavy rain, which
drenched thousands of spectators.
Austin broke through Allison's serv-
ice at love in the ninth game after a
delay of 20 minutes. He found Alli-
sons backhand an easy victim for his
forehand thrusts. The American
champion was generally below form.
Allison made great fight, squaring
the court at Sail in the third set, after
trailing to and saving four match
points in the long tenth game.
The American titleholder tried so
desperately to keep the match alive
that he fell fiat on his face three times
in the final game and limped of the
court.
