WIMBLEDON: LEADING PLAYERS CONTINUE TO WIN
A thrilling incident in the Peterson v. Harvey fight at White City, showing Peterson, the winner, finding his opponent's jaw with a straight left.
HOW PETERSEN BEAT LEN HARVEY: LOSER BLINDED BY BLOOD: WELL DESERVED WIN
HARVEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BEATEN ON POINTS IF THE TOWEL HAD NOT BEEN THROWN IN
In one of the best fights of his career, Jack Petersen defeated Len Harvey for British and Empire titles dur- ing the early part of this month. Petersen was far and away the better man, and the following vivid description of the fight is given by Fred Dartnell in the News- Chronicle.
LEAGUE TENNIS TO-DAY
All records for a boxing contest in this country were easily "C" Division Programme beaten at the White City when 60,000 people saw the fight be tween Len Harvey and Jack Petersen. Prince George, accom- panied by Sir Harry Preston, was an earlier arrival. Many | · women occupied seats at the ringside.
Mr. Pickles Douglas was the re- ferec.
Harvey's smothering work was very good, but the first round had only progressed a minute when he was cautioned twice for holding.
There were some rather crude exchanges. Neither man landed a clean blow and at the end of the round both were hugging at close quarters.
The second round saw Harvey begin with two left hooks, one of which grazed Petersen's head. He was undoubtedly more aggressively inclined than in the early phases of their previous fight.
Petersen was cautioned for hold- ing with his left glove, but, follow- ing this, he smashed beautiful lefts to the face and then drove a good punch to the ribs.

HELEN JACOBS. & MISS ROUND WIN
London, June 28.
Sydney Wood of America, Yamagishi of Japan, Christian Boussus of France and Fred Perry of Eng- land joined H. W. Austin and others in the last six- teen of the men's singles at Wimbledon as a result of to-day's matches. This entailed the elimination of two Englishmen and C. E. Malfroy of New Zealand. Three overseas competitors won second round ties in the women's singles, including Helen Jacobs, Frau- lein Cicely Aussem and Madame Mathieu. Miss

Dorothy Round advanced another stage, but at the Inter-Club expense of her tennis colleague, Miss Mary Heeley.
Sydney Wood, one of the Ameri-
can hopes" was made to lose a to H.G.N. Cooper, the well Hot known English International player.
Cooper snatched the first set al 6-4, before Wood had settled down, but thereafter there was only one player in it, and Wood took the match by annexing the next, three sets with the loss of five games.
Against a lively rival, who was not afraid to go for his shots, Wood displayed pleasing form: the type to carry him a long way in the event. Ho is without doubt one of the most serious challengers for the title.
Bournus did exceptionally well to overcome Malfroy, New Zealand's leading representative in straight sets. Malfroy was quite unable to reply to Boussus's severe ser- vice and piercing ground strokes which made a net campaign the cualest thing imaginable.
Perry beat Menzel after classic match, ʼn special descrip tion of which, appears on the front page.

Miss Helen Jacobs easily beat her countrywoman, Mrs. Andrus, who, under a 'residential qualifea- tion is playing as an official French representative.

Yamagishi Qualifios To Meet Crawford
London, June 28. Yamagishi has faken over the burden of the late Jiro Satoh
in upholding Japanese prestige at Wimbledon, and to-day he negotiated the third round of the men's singles with a very decisive victory over H.K. Lester, former Cambridge Blue and Davis Cup trial players,
As a result Yamagishi quali- fies to meet Jack Crawford, and It is confidently predicted that on current form the Australian will be hard pressed to win. Early rain caused the court to bo slippery when Yamagishi and Lester started their match, but later the sun came out, and re- moved a considerable amount of discomfort.
