Donald Budge To Have A Blood-Test; May Be Forced To Withdraw
Miss Helen Jacobs Shows No Trace Of Ankle Injury
Forest Hills, Sept. 8.
Miss Helen Jacobs, who injured an ankle at Wimbledon and was badly beaten by Mrs. Helen Wills Moody in the final, showed no trace of her injury to-day in the opening national tennis singles when she overwhelmed Miss Anne Harrison by 6-0, 6-0.
In the men's event, Adrian Quist,, championship if his physicians advise of Australia, defeated Frank Broldo, him to do so. of America, by 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.
Donald Budge, holder of the title, was idle to-day. It is reported that he will undergo П blood-test on Friday and may withdraw from the
Ilowever, most people believe that he will not withdraw because by doing so he would wreck his chance of being the first man in history to win all four major singles titles of the year. He has already won the Australian, the French and the Wim- bledon championships.
. Some people concede John Brom- wich, the Australian, a chance of dethroning Budge owing to the fact that the American was far under par in the Davis Cup Challenge Round. Two reasons have been advanced for Budge'a loss of form, (1) he has played too much tennis, having been active for a year and a half at A stretch and (2) he in only just re- cuperating from 12 bad cold.- Reuter,

AMERICA RETAINS CURTIS CUP
GOVERNOR'S SIDE ENTERTAINED BY CLUB DE RECREIO
TEN HEADS COMPLETED IN TRYING CONDITIONS
(Dy "Abo")
It was a pity that rain fell so heavily that play had to bo abandoned in the bowls match between the Club de Recreio and a team from Government House, led by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, at King's Park yesterday. Players on both sides had looked forward very keenly to the game, but the rain which started soon after the commencement complete. ly marred what had promised to be an enjoyable afternoon.
After the first shower, it looked as if the rain might hold off long enough for the encounter to be com- pleted. However, it was not to be. Actually, ten heads were played on each of the three rinks; but the last few were completed under somewhat And trying conditions, umbrellas rain-conts having to be utilised by the participants.
In view of the fact that it rained continuously for nearly an hour at King's Park. I was somewhat sur- prised, therefore, to return to this side of the harbour and learn that no rain had fallen during this period on the island! How unfortunate that the match was not played in Hongkong; or if I only had rained in Hongkong Instead of Kowloon!
The Club de Recrelo, who this year have won the championship of the First and Second Divisions of the League, the Open Pairs and the Open links, did not field their senior team,-The-Government-side Included several First Division men, and amongst the other members of the team, besides His Excellency the Governor, were the Colonial Secre-
