'WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIP. REVIEW BY WILDING.

London, June 22. Wilding, reviewing the "prospects for the Wimbledon tournament, said that Brookes was iho outstanding personality of the meeting. His firs*} service was not quite as accurate as in. 1907, and had lost some of its terror*,' w 'ttl familiarity, but Irs gam? still showed' tbe

master hand. Doust ihad been suffering: from neuritis 'n his right shoulder, but [ should reach the .semi-final. "He is one of the fa-test men in the court I ever met," said Wilding, "and his volleying is a delimit to watch." The final ■should rest between Brookes 1 , Parke. Doiist and Lo'.ve. though Froitzheim and Dectmis must be reckoned with. Brookes will probably reach the challenge round. Dunlon and Harding are a promising iv.lir in Hie double'-."
