FINALISTS AT WIMBLEDON
Crawford And Perry
London, July 4..
Jack Crawford and Fred Perry are the finalists for the Wimbie- don Singles Tennis championship to be decided on Saturday,
Perry qualled for the final to- day by defeating Sidney Wood 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 5-7, 6-3.
"
The standard of play in Perry's match was far below that of the
other semi-final, in which Craw- ford defeated Shields to confound the critics..
Wood played as if he considered defeat the most unlikely result to the match, and threw away the arst.set. He treated it merely as a pipe-opener, and allowed Perry to take a 5-0 lead before he made
any real attempt.

The standard of the display fly- thg, performed by test pilots and er-R.A.F. officers, was very high, as is fitting in a club which res stricts, its membership to officer who have flown more than 50
hours.
The two most important llems in the display, were those which showed off two new aeroplanes- the Gloster Gauntlet fighter, which is about to be issued to certain fighter squadrons, and, the first Hawker Hart to be fitted with 2 more powerful Rolls-Royce engine. Both were most impressive. Flight Lieutenant P. W. S. Bulman in the Hart performed the usual aero- batics in the smooth, clean fashion which marks the work of the. highly skilled pilot, but he demon- strated very clearly, too, the dif- ference which extra power may make in an efficent machine. The length and the steep angle of his climbs were remarkable. At a distance this Hart, zooming up to make a rocket loop, might have been mistaken for a Fury. It was still climbing when the airspeed had fallen off by two-thirds,
