Then came the first of Great Britain's overdue vietorics, Mrs. Fearnley-Whittingstall defeating Miss Helen Jacobs at 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.

She was as stylish as ever and she made fewer mistakes than usual. Miss Jacolis was hardly keyed up to the pitch she attained on the previous day against Miss Round and it may have been that she could not forget the fact that the Wightman Cup had already been Won. Her gare just lacked "steel"; even so, every credit must go to the winner for a notable achievement.
