HOPMAN'S CLEVER TACTICS TO DEFEAT YOUNG AMERICAN
-By Telecrrfl.nb — O •pyright.).
LONDON, Thursday. There was a sensation in the London Iawn tennis champion ships at the Queen's Club courts when Harry Hopman (New South Wales) brilliantly defeated Ellsworth Vines,' the American champion, 0 — 6, 6 — 2, 6 — 3. The Australian discovered that Vines thrived on speed, so varied his pace cunningly. Vines showed surprising deficiehcy in trying to volley Hopman's soft shots. The Australian had previously beaten W. A. R. Collins, 6 — 0, 6 — 2. The critics say that Hopman's game against Vines was as fine as anything seen during the present season. Crawford and Clemenger have reached the fourth round of the singles, but the remaining Australian, Sproule was defeated 6 — 3, 6 — 1, by the Japanese player Kuwabara. In the women's singles Mrs. Crawford beat Miss Cooke, 6 — 1, 6 — 1 (first round) ; Mrs. Crawford beat Mrs. Covell, 0 — 6, 6 — 0, 9 — 7 (second round). In the men's doubles (first round) Crawford and Hopman beat Colonel Helme and Drake, 6 — 1, 6—0. At the forthcoming Wimbledon tennis tournament in the singles Cochet will meet Vines; Shields will meet Perry; Wood will meet Austin; and Borotra ■will meet Crawford.
