have got to be reckoned very seriously with when the doubles come on at Wimbledon. Shortly after the conclusion of this match it was stated that the final; of the singles would not be played, Hunter retiring in favour of Tilden, the cup-holder. Subse- quently, however, a further an- nouncendent was made that the prizes would be divided.

Buddy Austin, above, sprung the surprise of the British singles championships at Wimbledon by eliminating Francis Hunter, second ranking player of the United States, in one of the most spectacular tennis matches ever staged.

But this time to the great disap- pointment of a very large crowd which had assembled, the match did not take place. The reason for this was that the two finalists were also in-partnership in the final of the doubles, in which they had to face the younger American pair, J. Van Ryn and W. Allison. With a natural desire to do themselves justice in this encounter, Tilden and Hunter arranged with the management that the doubles should be played first, so that neither of them should be exhaust ed in a single. Accordingly, short- ly after two o'clock, on a court on which rain had made some of the lines very difficult to see, and was still falling in a gentle drizzle, which at times increased to real- rsin, the double was staged.

And a very good match it proved to be, showing Van Ryn and Allison as a pair persistent in attack and ready and anxious to push it home. Fortune awayed in the first set, each side leading in turn, but the

This was at a time when it was difficult to get money for reproduc- tive works of public benefit. Race meetings were held, at which thou- sands of persons spent their time and, unquestionably, their money. It was a bad thing, and should be stirring the conscience of the people.

WORCESTER CAPTAIN

MAJOR JEWELL RESIGNS FOR HEALTH REASONS

For reasons of health, Major M. F. S. Jewell has decided to relinquish the leadership of the Worcestershire team. For some years his health has not been satis- factory, and, unfortunately, the operation he underwent last winter did not prove so beneficial as was hoped. He has done good work for the County, which he led in 1920, 1921 and 1926, as well as this year. In 1926 Major Jewell succeeded M. K. Foster as captain.
