FRED PERRY DICTATES TERMS TO BARON VON CRAMM
IN TENNIS FINAL AT WIMBLEDON
Briton's Historic Win In Singles Event
(By A Special Correspondent)
London, July 6.
Yesterday Perry won the Singles Championship for the second year in succession by defeating Baron von Cramm of Germany in three truly beautiful sets. He won by 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, and this is the first time in the history of the Wimbledon Championships that the same player has won the Men's Singles Championship two years running.
The Centre Court was packed for Friday's play, and there were sun- shine and breeze te the
