DEFEAT FOR WOMEN'S LAWN
ENGLAND'S BAD DAY AT WIMBLEDON
Australian Girl's Attack Beats Dorothy Round
(By H. S. Scrivener)
London, July 3.
The four survivors in the men's singles championship were given a rest from singles play at Wimbledon yester- day, and I daresay they were very glad of it after toiling in Monday's heat. The eight women who were left in the other singles championship accordingly had the field to themselves. Several of them, true to feminine tradition, caused us to wonder what was going to happen next on several occasions, and on the whole I think that our curio- sity was excited oftener than our admiration.
The sensation of the day was, of course, the defeat of the reigning champion, Miss Round. Her cons queror, Mins Hartigan, Australia's Exuding Indy, reached the semi-final last year; and in a more finished player | now than she was then. She possesses the priceless gift of audacity, and is over-awost neither by the reputation of her opponent nor by the importance of the occasion.
I am bound to say that Miss Round was not in her championship form.. Her driving, which is the hackbone of her game, was half-hearted and con- sequently lacking the two Important elements of length and pace. But I must insist that Miss Hartigan had good deal to tio with this, "We come

FORTY PER CENT BETTER
(By A. E. R. GILLIGAN)
London, July 3.
At five minutes past five last evening, when Cameron stumped Tom Mitchell off Balaskas, the South Africans had gained their first victory in a Teat match in England.
Their success was very richly de- served, and I have no hesitation in stating that England were completely outplayed in every department of the its game. The belter team won on merits. Warniest congratulations, therefore, to Herbert Wade on being the first South Afrkan skipper to beat! us on our own suit.
