ALLSON DEFETED N TR TOURNEY Ousted at Wimbledon by McGrath-—Wood and Van Ryn Victors. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 24.—Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex., top ranking American player, was eliminated from singles competition in the Wimbledon cham- pionships today when he dropped his first-round match to Vivian McGrath of Australia, 6—4, 6—3, 7—9, T—5. Earlier, Sidney B. Wood of New Jer- sey sent the American contingent off to a good start by taking a first-round match from E. Itoh of Japan in straight sets, 6—2, 6—2, 6—0. Wood, playing easily, drew cheers several times by his fine net work, particu- larly & backhand volley he has been developing. ‘While Perry, the No. 1 seeded player, was winning his_match, 6—1, 6—1, 6—3, John Van Ryn of Philadelphia moved up by conquering Don Turn- bull, the Australian star, 6—2, 6—3, 8—6. Roderich Menzel of Czechoslovakia won his first-round match from L. C. Cater of England, 6—1, 4—6, 6—2, 6—0 H. W. (Bunny) Austin of England had no trouble winning from Edward Avory, a fellow countryman, 6—3, 6—1, 6—3. Allison was the first seeded player to be forced out of the men’s champion- ships. He staged several game rallies during the four-set match, but his frequent misjudging of distance was costly. Wilmer Hines, former captain of the University of North Carolina tennis team, eliminated Andre Lacroix, 4—6, 6—1, 3—6, 6—3, 6—4. Donald Budge of Oakland, Calif. advanced with an 8—6, 6—2, 6—1 decision over F. H. D. Wilde of Eng- | iand, and Enrique Maier, Spanish champion, eliminated William W. Robertson of San Marino, Calif., 6—2, 6—3, 6—3. WOMAN, 100, FINDS CROONERS MAR LIFE Otherwise, First Century Is Not So Hard, Says Alexandrian, Starting Her Second One. Radio and radio crooners are the only modern institutions that seem to mar the serenity of life at the first century mark, according to Mrs. Lara Fiske Evans of Alexandria, Va., who today entered her second day in the second century of her life. Mrs. Evans was 100 years old Sat- urday. “There are a few things that we 100-year-olds don’t like about this 1935 world,” Mrs. Evans said, naming her two pet aversions. “I despwe radio and radio croonmers. If you were 100 years old you'd despise them, too. You can listen to these things only so long, you know.” + Outside of that, Mrs. Evans find that the first hundred years are not so hard to take. “T'm not old. I'm modern. Mostly I like the modern world,” she de- clares. “Until a few years 3go there was mnothing I enjoyed more than going for long drives in fast auto- mobiles. Of course, I can't do that any more, but I'd like to.” SHOOTING AFFRAYS KILL 1, WOUND 3 Man Held for Coroner’s Jury as Another Dies in Hospital After Altercation.
