Wimbledon witnessed a most exciting ' match between Alonso and Shimidzu in. the semi-final round of the tennis tournament. Alonso was swift and audacious in his play, but served numerous doubles, while Shimidzu was remorselessly steady and stoical. The match was a matter of touch and go throughout, and Shimidzu was beaten by the barest margin.
Alonzo's intensive play was only resisted by the coolest nerve and the quickest of foot work on the part. of his opponent who pursued a "wearing down' game with characteristic skill. Shimidzu dis-layed great resource in his volleying and utilized his lobs very successfully, but his steadiness was overwhelmed by the Spaniard's bursts of brilliancy.—Reuter.
