SALVOES OF CHEERING
(Pross. Assn.
ANDREW'S GREAT FIGHT
— T?y Telosr.nph — Oopyrigrht).
LONDON, Thursday. The outstanding happening to-day was Andrnvs' heroic struggle. Despite a severe injury, the New Zealander aroused the densely-packed centre court to salvoes of cheering as he exploited th-1 Grimmet-liko service. He volleyed adroitly, smashed anglcd drives, and seored off the winner's
line pressing shots. His service astonished the crowd, breaking outside the doubles line, compelling Shields to play two yards out of the court. Andrews might liave won tho match, lmt for twisting his ankle. The game was delayed 10 minutes while Dr. Gregory handaged the ankle. Andrews thereafber was obviously handicapped. Shields also henefitted from the respite. Vines was a regular whirhvind on the court. He was vastly superior to Hopman, and the scores do not reflect the superiority of the American over the Australian. His hostilc scrving, fierce driving and deadly smashing were rominiscent of Tilden.
