Mile. Lenglen's Successes

London, June 29.

To-day's programme at Wimbledon did not provide any surprises, although the centre court was the scene of many interesting international duels.

In a first round match the American, Mr. Dean Mathey, beat the Belgian champion, M. Washer, 0/6, 6/2, 6/2, 7/5. Mr. Mathey used an all steel racquet but discarded it after he had lost the first three games.

In the second round the Austra-lion, Mr. Patterson, defeated the American Oxonian, Mr. Gravem, 6/1, 6/1, 6/4, and Mr. O'Hara Wood, Australia, defeated Count de Gomar, Spain, 6/1, 6/3, 6/4.

The mort important results today were the first-round victories of the English hope, Miss McKane, and the American champion, Mrs. Mallory. Miss McKane will meet Molle. Lenglen in the second round to-morrow.

Sir George Thomas, Major Kingscote, Mr. Gordon Lowe, M. Mishu, M. Gobert-and M. Borotra al] passed the second round.—Reuter.
