MISS MARBLE'S
DEFEAT
SURREY TITLE WON BY
MISS JAMES
1
A big crowd, waiting nearly two hours for the rain to cease, saw Miss Freda James gain a praise- worthy victory over Miss Alice Marble in the final of the Surrey Women's championship at Surbi- ton. The English girl thoroughly deserved her success. Her tennis was às perfect as possible in the conditions.
More nimble than Miss Marble, · her footwork was less handicapped by the slippery turf. And I think she was wiser to wear socks over her shoes rather than spikes. The American champion wore spiked shoes, and they did not prevent her from tumbling several times. She shed them in the second set and played in her socks.

SOUTHEND GOLF TOURNAMENT POSTPONED
Course Flooded By Heavy Rains
London, May 22. The Southend £1,000 Tournament, the first round of which was post- poned on Tuesday owing to rain, WAS yesterday adjourned until September.
The scores in Thursday's first two rounds, when P. J. Mahon, the young Irishman led with 139, will stand when the competition is re- sumed, probably on September 11.
Following heavy rain on Thura- day night, the Thorpe Hall course was flooded in places, and on the suggestion of Cmdr. R. C. T. Roe, secretary of the Professional Gol- fers' Association, and Mr. A. J. Prior, captain of the Thorpe Hall Club, representing the tournament committee, the players agreed to a postponement. The 60 competitors who qualified on Thursday each re- ceived £5 towards their expenses.
