The result was closer than the score suggests. Miss Marble London, June 1-During the six came within a point of both sets by a coincidence in each case in the fourteenth game.
UNTIMELY SLIP
Miss Marble led 2-1 in the first set, winning the first game to love off her service and the third with an ace, The Senorita then gathered three games to lead 4-2. A good back-hand drive down the line gave her the fifth game. In the sixth Miss Marble slipped in trying to gain the correct timing for her back-hand.
For the next three games Miss Marble shone and Senorita Lizana was in the shade. The American won her service from 15, her second spinful delivery baffling the Chilean, the back-hand. Two double faults and some unreturned baseline drives robbed the Señorita of the eighth game, though she led 40.......15. Miss Marble led 5-4 from 15-40, her service again scoring.
SPEEDY SENORITA
From fluctuated; Senorita Lizana was ahead at 65, Miss Marble at 7---6. The North American cham- pion had a point for the set in the fourteenth game. She made what she thought was a winning check volley. Senorita Lizana, always..... more fleet-footed, raced forward and scored with a fine fore-hand pass. It meant the set, Miss Marble continued to fight for the game, but she lost the next two to love,
Putting the first set behind her, Miss Marble had three points for a three-love lead in the second-set. Then Miss Marble lapsed. The Senorita lost only three points in the next four games to lead 5-2. Wisely the Chilean reduced the pace of her driving return. Miss Mar| ble temporarily lost her driving rhythm, and in the fifth game served two double faults.

Definite Scheme
Evolved
SUM OF £1,500 MUST BE RAISED
Sydney, May 20. The possibility of Australia send- ing a hockey team to the next Olym-❤ pic Games strengthens with the an- nouncement that approval for the scheme has been voiced by the N.S.W. Olympic Council.
A team of 15, including four re-. serves, would make the trip, the cost being approximately £1500, of which the Australian Hockey As- sociation would be required to raise half on the assumption that
the Australian Federal Government would subsidise the fund on a pound for pound basis.
Mr. E. G. Foskett, president of the Australian Hockey Association, anticipates that the amount neces- sary (£750) will be easily raised all over Australia.
The amount fixed for New South Wales to raise is £225 and the other States are to be levied in a capita- tion proportion. Victoria, N.S.W., and Western Australia are behind the move, and decisions of other States are awaited.
