Vines was mistaken. In the other half of a polyglot semifinal, an elegant little Englishman, Bunny Austin, had beaten an acrobatic little Japanese, Jiro Sato. Against Austin, Vines was just as good as he had been against Crawford. Their match was over in 45 minutes, 6-4, 6-2, 6-0. Austin watched Vines's last serve, an ace, go past, then ran up to shake hands. Said he: "I couldn't play against that...

Japanese scouting planes reported two separate systems of Chinese entrenchments defending Chinchow, complete with...
