London, Juno 8.
The chief interest of the opening younds of the Kent tennis championship contest at Beckenham yesterday lay in the appearance of Shimidzu who, in the first round, beat Uber 60, 6-4, and in the second round beat Johnstone 6-1, 6-0. His forehand play is considered as effective as ever while his backhand play is apparently considerably strengthened.
_the second round, Botsford beat Wu 61, 6-3. In the first round of the men's doubles, Wheatley (South Africa) and Major Hartwell beat Wu andi Martin 6-1, 6-1. Shimidzu will partner C. P. Dixon and Deane Jacobs in the doubles championship contest at Wimbledon.—Reuter.
