Hamburg, Jan. 12.
Dr. W. Knoll, secretary of the International Association of Athletic Doctors, declared to-day that Miss Koubkova, the Czecho- Slovakian man-girl athlete, has deliberately fooled the world
about her true sex.
Dr. Knoll demands the suspen- sion for life of Miss Koubkova from athletic events, and the nullifica- tion of the world record held by her. He
suggests that in the future athletes should undergo n women medical examination before being allowed to compete.
Miss Koubkova's astonishing story was told for the first time in the Sunday Express recently.

Mrs. Kayll and Mrs. Dow- ling advanced to the final of the ladies open doubles tennis championship in such convinc ing manner yesterday that they are bound to start warm favourites on Saturday after-

They were far too strong for the
losers in their forecourt action, both players volleying well and making few blunders overhead,
Mrs. Chiu and Miss Rumjahn were given no chance of adopting the initia tive and were strictly on the defence They often maintained the rallies in a clever manner, but the consistency of Mrs. Kayll and Mrn. Dowling broke down all opposition.
This afternoon the other semi-final will be played at the U.S.R.C, when Miss Inncock and Mrs. Wilson meet Mrs. L. R. Andrewes and Mrs. Litton. This will probably provide a eloper presunter,
